Star Trek
December 8, 2009
One of the best of the year? Yes. J.J. Abrams’ fantastic slick new remake pays homage to the old movies and TV shows as well as paving a brave new world for the next generation of Sci-fi fans. With up to the minute special effects and an excellent cast of mostly unknowns he reinvents the franchise just when you thought there was nothing left. Great story, and back story for that matter, along with good acting, directing, and a good villain no less.
We go back in time to Captain Kirks birth. The story begins with Kirks father at the helm of the USS Kelvin while the crew abandons ship. He realizes he must stay aboard and pilot the ship, suicide style, into the seemingly invincible enemy, Nero – Eric Bana while he saves his in labor wife and soon to be son, James Tiberius Kirk – Chris Pine. Years later, we see Kirk as a rebellious youth in need of direction. We also follow the childhood and maturing of Spock – Zachary Quinto, who battles demons of his own, being half human and half Vulcan. The origins continue with USS Enterprise herself as we get to see the ship being built and her maiden voyage no less. Kirk soon discovers he has the quick wit and tough nerves required to lead.
Everyone in the cast is superb. all the younger versions of the old Star Trek crew were perfectly cast. This is the Star Trek movie everyone has been waiting for. Respect for the old but in with the new, just what the doctor ordered. boldly go out and buy this one, or rent it. Whatever, just watch it, Right now.
