the new movies were good man, i liked them...bit of chris pine and that other guy. excellent.
they were ok as bog standard sci fi action movies, they were shit as star trek films though.
Dunno what universe you live in, but in mine, ALL the original Star Trek movies were shit, and the most recent two are miles better than any of the previous ones - IMO, of course.
It will be interesting to see what this new series does - reboot, something totally new, or an omage.
They say it won't be connected to the current films, so I suspect no Enterprise (or at least a contemporary version of it), no Kirk, Spock, etc.
BTW, still, highly impressed with this fan effort: http://www.startrekcontinues.com/
