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

Wow, I read some of the bad reviews and was blown away that they hated it so much. I'm a star trek fan (I cant tell you all the details of every single event that ever happened in star trek) that loved, loved, loved this film. The haters have to get over themselves and their big brains.
Of course there are some plot flaws that are obvious but ITS A MOVIE!! They couldn't have done a better job on the casting, Bones was a little over the top, but after watching it at home he grows ... Read More

I've been a Star Trek fan as long as I have conscious memory; I've thoroughly enjoyed all the movies and series, but the Original Series has ALWAYS been my favorite. I grew up watching it in syndication, had the first two seasons on VHS which I eventually wore out, and have read countless of the novels, mostly focusing on the original Enterprise and her crew...I'm one of "those guys" who can tell you planet names, ship classifications, et al...proudly, I might add...so it was with no small amount ...

"Stardate 44...whatever" - Jim Kirk, Star Trek (2009). Sums up the care taken by Paramount to include the elegant and detail rich universe that once made up Star Trek. "Star Trek, Star Wars... whatever" is what I believe the writers and producers decided upon prior to setting out on this high-budget endeavor to destroy one great universe. Is it a good flick? Yes! Is it a good Star Trek? Definitely not.
They summed up their feelings towards us Trekkers in the movie quite nicely: by having ... Read More

Being a fan of TOS since I was a very young child (I first became enthralled when it got syndicated in the early 70s when I was in elementary school), I awaited to see how Star Trek could be "re-envisioned" as it was never something I thought needed to be revisited. What this movie delivers is a bit like the original series itself, some good, some bad, some awesome and some just...meh. My husband and I watched the DVD the day it came and then again two days later as we were really torn over the whole ... Read More

Since I'm a 64 year old Star Trek fan, I must say that this movie was GREAT!
