Another Star Trek Review

This British reviewer in The Daily Mail liked the movie. And I liked this quote:

One of the most refreshing – and surprising - aspects is how elitist it is.

Throughout, there is great emphasis on the fact that the crew members are not everymen.

Each is a talented individual who has knuckled down to serious training and passing rigorous exams with the highest honours.

It is one of the few movies I have seen in recent years which has celebrated intellectual endeavour, the informed weighing up of risks, the taking of responsibility. It is, well nigh uniquely in modern Hollywood, grown-up.
