Abrams’ best “Star Wars” movie was his first “Star Trek.” The opening sequence on the Kelvin still makes us ugly-cry, and we always watch the thrilling space-set action from the edge of our seat. With “Trek,” Abrams took something old and not mainstream and injected it with new life — making “Trek” popular outside of the usual fanbase for the first time in its now-50 year history.
Also for the first time, Team Abrams made space, well, feel like space; there is a scope here to The Final Frontier never before afforded the franchise. That, packed with sweeping visuals and characters that are never not entertaining, make “Star Trek” Abrams’ most complete and rewatchable cinematic experience. One of Hollywood’s best reboots.
