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

Where No Star Trek Movie Has Gone Before. November 20, 2009
B. Watson (Baroda, MI)
J.J. Abrams does a remarkable job of keeping the 1960's series flavor and booting it well into the 21st Century. The actors do an excellent job of keeping the characteristics and mannerisms of the original series while ramping up the attitude. The plot line is less civic minded than the original, but makes up for it in action. Never mind that Kirk hangs from a precipice by his fingers at least 3 times, he takes the original Kirk's willingness to go where angels fear to tread to a level that would have even the demons (in this case, Romulans) taking a step back. Spock finally has a depth behind his stoic face that doesn't make the viewer cringe when his emotions do get the better of him.

If you're a Trekkie, you'll love this film. If Steel Magnolias is your venue - stay away from this! If you are a right-wing, "original series is the only Trek" fan, you'll probably concede this was "okay." If, however, you're a sci-fan, and action film fan, or a summer blockbuster fan you're going to love this film.

"Buckle up!"

This as a great movie! November 20, 2009
M. Howard (W. Palm Beach,FL)
Let me start with this...I have been a Star Trek fan since the 60's! I didn't think this movie would stand up against the original or the Next Generation films but, I was wrong! This is as good or better than the previous 10 movies! If your thinking, I don't like Star Trek, WATCH IT! It is a great action movie with a story. Only thing to me that was disappointing had nothing to do with the story but, the Blu-ray. It is sharp as I expected but not full screen, more of a letterbox like a regular wide screen DVD. Oh well, I still would have bought movie anyway.

How do you revive a classic Sci Fi TV series with a devoted, loyal cult following that will crush you if you screw it up? Clearly you hire JJ Abrams to produce and direct.

I consider myself somewhat of a Trekie. I've seen every episode of the original TV series...at least 3 times. I've seen each of the major motion pictures...at least twice. I've seen all of the spin off TV series and their respective motion picture spinoffs at minimum once. So, yeah, I'd say I'm a fan. And there are fans that DO NOT want their stuff messed with no matter what. After seeing Abrams' Star Trek, I can't believe that any loyal fan...even the preservationists...could be unhappy. But there are those that will just be impossible to please, evidenced by the fair amount of strong criticism in the review section of this page alone.

I, on the other hand, am firmly in the camp of this-was-a-great-movie! Abrams and his cast pay homage to everything that made the original TV series a classic. The movie takes you back through time to some short segments about Kirk's and Spock's childhood, then quickly moves to and progresses from when the two board the Enterprise for their first times. And they are of course joined by the other primary characters from the original TV series.

All of the characters attempt to channel a bit of the persona and dispositions of the original actors, and they do a terrific job combining the natures of the original characters with some modern day personality polish.

Abrams version of Star Trek might rewrite some of what was solidly in place with years of Star Trek history, and that might indeed be what has a Tribble in the bonnet of some of the preservationists. But Abrams' version has mostly succeeded in revitalizing a series that was inevitable to be remade by someone. So to the preservationists I say, be very very happy that you got such a great movie that is such a tribute to Gene Roddenberry's vision.

Star Trek 2009 has a lot action, a great cast, a fine story...I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish.

My only problem with this movie is that it was too short. That's right...I said too SHORT. I'm usually complaining about how unnecessarily long Hollywood makes its movies these days. But if you watch the deleted scenes that are included on Disk 2 of the Blu Ray package, you actually learn stuff that would have enhanced the theatrical version of the movie had it not been cut out.

One thing that won't be short is the life of the new franchise that Abrams has created. These are the MAIDEN voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Where no man has gone before. Jump on board this initial voyage of what I'm guessing will be many before Abrams is done.
