J.J. Abrams' 2009 feature film was billed as "not your father's Star Trek," 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, Star Trek introduces us to James T. Kirk (Chris Pine of The Princess Diaries 2), 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 Heroes), but their conflict has to take a back seat when Starfleet, including its new ship, the Enterprise, 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).
The 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 Transformers and with Abrams on Alias and Mission Impossible III), and his producers (fellow Losties Damon Lindeloff and Bryan Burk) can be a bit of a mind-bender (no surprise there for Lost fans). Hardcore fans with a bone to pick may find faults, but resistance is futile when you can watch Kirk take on the Kobayashi Maru 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. --David Horiuchi

Remember when Star Trek was fun? Well, it's fun again. For folks who aren't interested in anything new or different, there's the grand old TOS series on DVD. For others, there's this (plus viewings of favorite TOS episodes).
Like many others, I left the movie theater with mixed feelings. The alternate universe, the destruction of Vulcan (which, since we've seen comparatively little of the planet over the years was oddly emotional), the Spock-Uhura thing...they were all...different. And ... Read More

I can certainly understand how non-Star Trek fans could give this movie such a high star rating. It is, in fact very entertaining and visually stimulating. However, from a Star Trek fan prospective, it is a major blow to the Star Trek world. I now understand the movie's tag line; "This is your father's Star Trek." Yeah, no kidding, because it's been completely redone.
The short end - From a visual prospective, this Star Trek installment was GREAT! It had all the effects and looks that the ... Read More

I am, it must be said, only a casual fan of "Star Trek" in that I thoroughly enjoyed watching the original series on TV, and the films which featured the original cast, and largely despised the "Next Generation" and the rest of it's tedious, politically correct ilk. That said, lest I sound like too much of a curmudgeon, let me state for the record that a big-screen reboot of the original series made with intelligence, style and affection - say along the lines of a Batman Begins (Widescreen Edition) or ...

The movie is great, but be careful what you are buying. All pre-orders lead to Amazon.com but Amazon is only selling a FRENCH VERSION WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES.

Let me say up front I am not a die-hard Star Trek fan. I did grow up watching original series re-runs, the tapes of the movies that my father bought, I've seen episodes from across the various spin-off shows and I've read some of the novels here and there so I've got a good working knowledge of the show. Having (like so many) assumed that Star trek was dead after the lack-luster Nemesis and the cancellation of Enterprise (a show that remains underrated in my opinion) I was rather surprised over a year ...
