Star Trek

Even though there's only 37 reviews currently listed on Rottemtomatoes.com, it's like early districts reporting in a big election...the data is enough to establish a clear trend.

And, without question, the trend is very VERY good for STID. The current 86% "fresh" rating is very good, particularly from primarily overseas critics, where Star Trek tends to fare less positively than it does here in the US. Most of those reviews say the same stuff:

Even the reviews that are not "fresh" (there's only 5 so far) are not exactly blasting the film either. They mostly range in the "3-out-of-5 stars" category. 

So, I think it's safe to say that this movie is trending to equal the original fairly close in the two major metrics that matter in determining a film's "success:"

Can't wait until it hits the US. I have my tickets for the 3D IMAX preview on the 15th. Yeah dawg. 

Yep, me too.  Just one week away!
