Synopsis:
The greatest adventure of all time begins with Star Trek, the incredible story of a young crew's maiden voyage onboard the most advanced starship ever created: the U.S.S. Enterprise. On a journey filled with action, comedy and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk (Chris Pine), is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock (Zachary Quinto), was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before.
enjoyable rebootJuly 29, 2010 Amy E. Barker(Virginia) I rented the new Star Trek movie from Netflix this week.
Before I watched the movie, I had my doubts about it. After watching the movie, my doubts were eased. I found the movie to be very enjoyable.
The movie is part reboot/part prequel to the Star Trek franchise. The movie does a good job of introducing Captain Kirk, Spock, etc. to a younger generation of Star Trek fans. The movie also has some nostalgic references for the older generations of Star Trek fans.
I'm looking forward to seeing sequels that are made.
Really cool movie!July 29, 2010 Jody Petty(Los Angeles, California) I loved this movie. I was skeptical about a new Star Trek movie with new actors maintaining the spirit of the original series. I thought this movie did that. They also cleverly fixed it so that any future sequels can entail new stories because they are now on a different timeline of events. Now that's cool!
Freaking Delivers.July 28, 2010 John B. Ludwick(Indianapolis, IN United States) This is not the Star Trek of my youth, and I was a big fan - yet this movie delivers the freaking goods in ways that the wussy-fied Star Trek of the nineties could only dream about (Deep Space Nine, Voyager). In this film, we're no longer in conflict about sipping 'tainted' mushroom soup (see Voyager - no, don't see it), now the stakes are real, larger than life, and important in the journey of this young crew. The entire cast raises the bar on performances, interaction, good chemistry and comedic timing. It's uncanny how much Zachary Quinto resembles Leonard Nimoy in the role of Spock, while still putting his own tweak to the character. Chris Pine IS Captain Kirk.
Dr. McCoy is lovable and comedic and played to a "T "by Karl Urban.
It is very rare - preciously rare - that a big-budget franchise employs first class effects, compelling sound, and 3 strong Acts all in the service of character-driven storytelling. "Star Trek" is that rarity. This is Star Trek as space opera, big and adventurous, and is only given proper justice by seeing it in hi-def!
Great Movie - Digital Copy no longer works!!July 27, 2010 G. Dyck(Marietta, GA USA) Great movie - one of the best Star Trek motion pictures. Full of action and numerous near death scenes for the characters. It gives history of how the Enterprise crew originally meet - though clearly the use of space time continuum could change that history. In any case the I've watched the movie numerous times and enjoy it each time.
Well worth the purchase though the digital copy no longer works as the offer was rescinded though no comment of this in the product description - that is a bit annoying! When will these guys just let us put a copy of our purchases on our Ipod or PC so we can use it in the way we want.
