J.J Abram seems to be building on his sci-fi field he has planted. With Super 8 and Star Trek in his resume, and the upcoming Star Wars continuation he is a guy some fanboys or going to hate or love seeing around. Oddly, for a guy who claimed not to be a Star Trek fan though I have no idea why he would want to direct, but he seems to try with good effort, but you can tell his passion isn't in the characters. He does have a flare for color though, and he really amps up he action all the way through. Plus, as someone who watched Lost from beginning to end (with repeat versions of some episodes) I couldn't help but repeating so many shots in my head as if they flew up out of that show.
Summary: After George Kirk dies at the time of his son's birth he leaves his son, James Kirk, to live up to huge shoes to fill. The notoriety of his dad though, and the confidence he has that he inherited the ability to do it give him a huge ego. Spock is around to keep him in check though as they will all need to be able to work as a team when a vengeful Romulan is set on creating black holes to destroy the Federation until all the planets are destroyed.
