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

 Great reboot! November 24, 2009
HorrorGuy (Riverside, CA United States)
I am a moderate fan of the original series, that is to say that I have watched them many times on TV but do not own any of the episodes on DVD. I do own the original cast films #2-6 and they range from fun to terrific. This reboot was a blast with tons of cool effects and a story you can actually get into. Some hardcore trekkies will pass along some dirt on this one but I think it's a heck of a sci-fi flick with a good cast and script; well worth my purchase on Blu-Ray. Oh, and by the way, the Blu-Ray disc looks and sounds amazing!
Terrific thoughtful new film November 24, 2009
V. M. Barnett (United States)
I wish that all of the Star Trek films had been created by the same team as the writers/director of this film. Each segment was thoughtful and exciting. Vonne Barnett
One of the top Trek films in my opinion!!!!!! November 24, 2009
R. Coppola (Long island, New york)
It's really amazing how some trashing reviews about this movie are "Spock seemed out of place" or " Pike was too old for the ships maiden voyage"- are you kidding me?. The characters were great, the story line was great, and the action and special effects were outstanding. This Trek was FAR better than Insurrection or Nemesis if you ask me.
Greatest Prequel Ever November 24, 2009
Jacob Joseph (Buffalo, N.Y.)
Although not technically a prequel, but rather an altered timeline, this movie provides a lot of backstory to the original characters, and ties-in to the time after Star Trek Nemesis. Bones and Scotty give the best performances. The special features are amazing.
Uneven movie but high marks for the Blu-Ray November 23, 2009

I'm not a Trekkie, but I grew up watching the reruns of the old show and the original movies in the 80s. What makes Star Trek what it is for me are the characters.
While the reboot idea here is probably good for the long-run to take these established characters to new adventures, some things feel out of place big time. The old Spock angle was used in Generations with Kirk instead. I'm a huge Leonard Nimoy fan but cameos are a really lazy way to advance the series. Just tell an original story. How hard is it really? I did like the young actors for the most part. The script lacks the characterizations of Star Trek IV or the nifty plot of Star Trek VI. I would rank this one somewhere in the middle of the whole collection. In short, Star Trek is fun without being overly engaging.
Hopefully the next film will have a more solid script with some good science and some good ORIGINAL fiction.
The Blu-Ray presentation is fantastic and ranks with The Dark Knight and Transformers on quality viewing on my Panasonic Plasma. Sound too is really crisp on my surround sound. There are plenty of behind the scenes featurettes, which are decent, but I found the commentary to be pretty run-of-the-mill. I stopped listening to it about half way through.
So as another review here has said, its a fun movie. Yet not really a great Star Trek movie. But the Blu-Ray is still a great purchase and a sight to behold if you have the screen to show it off.
