STAR TREK 11(2009)
Special Collector's Edition
This is a great movie, if you don't like Star Trek!! They tried
to do a re-boot of the franchise, and succeded in destroying
the entire canon of 40 years of Star Trek!! The only way that I
can view this movie and enjoy it is to see it as an alternate
universe representation of Star Trek! When viewed this way,
this is a great movie!! B-
A review from Amazon.com:
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
