J.J. Abrams' 2009 feature film was billed as "not your father's emStar Trek/em," but your father will probably love it anyway. And what's not to love? It has enough action, emotional impact, humor, and sheer fun for any moviegoer, and Trekkers will enjoy plenty of insider references and a cast that seems ideally suited to portray the characters we know they'll become later. Both a prequel and a reboot, emStar Trek/em introduces us to James T. Kirk (Chris Pine of emThe Princess Diaries 2/em), a sharp but aimless young man who's prodded by a Starfleet captain, Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood), to enlist and make a difference. At the Academy, Kirk runs afoul of a Vulcan commander named Spock (Zachary Quinto of emHeroes/em), but their conflict has to take a back seat when Starfleet, including its new ship, the emEnterprise/em, has to answer an emergency call from Vulcan. What follows is a stirring tale of genocide and revenge launched by a Romulan (Eric Bana) with a particular interest in Spock, and we get to see the familiar crew come together, including McCoy (Karl Urban), Uhura (Zoe Saldana), Sulu (John Cho), Chekhov (Anton Yelchin), and Scottie (Simon Pegg).pThe action and visuals make for a spectacular Big-Screen Movie, though the plot by Abrams and his writers, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (who worked together on emTransformers/em and with Abrams on emAlias/em and emMission Impossible III/em), and his producers (fellow emLost/emies Damon Lindeloff and Bryan Burk) can be a bit of a mind-bender (no surprise there for emLost/em fans). Hardcore fans with a bone to pick may find faults, but resistance is futile when you can watch Kirk take on the emKobayashi Maru/em scenario or hear McCoy bark, "Damnit, man, I'm a doctor, not a physicist!" An appearance by Leonard Nimoy and hearing the late Majel Barrett Roddenberry as the voice of the computer simply sweeten the pot. Now comes the hard part: waiting for some sequels to this terrific prequel. em--David Horiuchi/em/p br /br / span class="h1"strongStills from emStar Trek /em(Click for larger image)/strong/span table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4" width="100%" p/p p/p tbody tr align="center" valign="top" tdimg align="left" border="0" height="125" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/paramount/startrek/ST_1S.jpg" style="float: left; border: 0;" width="300" / br //td p/p tdimg align="left" border="0" height="125" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/paramount/startrek/ST_2S.jpg" style="float: left; border: 0;" width="300" / br //td tdimg align="left" border="0" height="125" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/paramount/startrek/ST_3S.jpg" style="float: left; border: 0;" width="300" / br //td p/p /tr tr align="center" valign="top" tdimg align="left" border="0" height="125" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/paramount/startrek/ST_4S.jpg" style="float: left; border: 0;" width="300" /br //td p/p tdimg align="left" border="0" height="125" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/paramount/startrek/ST_5S.jpg" style="float: left; border: 0;" width="300" /br //td tdimg align="left" border="0" height="125" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/paramount/startrek/ST_6S.jpg" style="float: left; border: 0;" width="300" /br //td br / p/p /tr tr align="center" valign="top" tdbr //td p/p tdbr //td tdbr //td /tr /tbody /table p/p

Rebirth of an Iconic line July 30, 2010
Marie Koch (Madison, WI United States)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Saw the movie in the theater and loved it. Bought the DVD and still love it. A a classic trekker I was cautiously optimistic when the movie came out. Now I am sold on the idea of altering a few things and seeing how it all works out, this time around.g
 enjoyable reboot July 29, 2010
Amy E. Barker (Virginia)
I rented the new Star Trek movie from Netflix this week.
br /
br /Before I watched the movie, I had my doubts about it. After watching the movie, my doubts were eased. I found the movie to be very enjoyable.
br /
br /The movie is part reboot/part prequel to the Star Trek franchise. The movie does a good job of introducing Captain Kirk, Spock, etc. to a younger generation of Star Trek fans. The movie also has some nostalgic references for the older generations of Star Trek fans.
br /
br /I'm looking forward to seeing sequels that are made.
Really cool movie! July 29, 2010
Jody Petty (Los Angeles, California)
I loved this movie. I was skeptical about a new Star Trek movie with new actors maintaining the spirit of the original series. I thought this movie did that. They also cleverly fixed it so that any future sequels can entail new stories because they are now on a different timeline of events. Now that's cool!
Freaking Delivers. July 28, 2010
John B. Ludwick (Indianapolis, IN United States)
This is not the Star Trek of my youth, and I was a big fan - yet this movie delivers the freaking goods in ways that the wussy-fied Star Trek of the nineties could only dream about (Deep Space Nine, Voyager). In this film, we're no longer in conflict about sipping 'tainted' mushroom soup (see Voyager - no, don't see it), now the stakes are real, larger than life, and important in the journey of this young crew. The entire cast raises the bar on performances, interaction, good chemistry and comedic timing. It's uncanny how much Zachary Quinto resembles Leonard Nimoy in the role of Spock, while still putting his own tweak to the character. Chris Pine IS Captain Kirk.
br /Dr. McCoy is lovable and comedic and played to a "T "by Karl Urban.
br /
br /It is very rare - preciously rare - that a big-budget franchise employs first class effects, compelling sound, and 3 strong Acts all in the service of character-driven storytelling. "Star Trek" is that rarity. This is Star Trek as space opera, big and adventurous, and is only given proper justice by seeing it in hi-def!

Great Movie - Digital Copy no longer works!! July 27, 2010
G. Dyck (Marietta, GA USA)
Great movie - one of the best Star Trek motion pictures. Full of action and numerous near death scenes for the characters. It gives history of how the Enterprise crew originally meet - though clearly the use of space time continuum could change that history. In any case the I've watched the movie numerous times and enjoy it each time.
br /
br /Well worth the purchase though the digital copy no longer works as the offer was rescinded though no comment of this in the product description - that is a bit annoying! When will these guys just let us put a copy of our purchases on our Ipod or PC so we can use it in the way we want.
