Star Trek (2009) Review

Amanda and Justin review the new Star Trek directed by J.J. Abrams Synopsis: The greatest adventure of all time begins with Star Trek, the incredible story of a young crews 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 T. 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!

@fuji9991 For me the good part of the Kirk series was the very good characters and the alchemy between them, and I think that this new series succeeded to capture that in a new sauce. But i know what you feel.

@Justletmewrite I get what you are saying but if they are going to deviate from star trek ideals that much then why not create a new franchise all together? Imagine you liked peanut butter and jelly all your life then someone makes a humus and jelly sandwich and markets it as peanut butter and jelly, and then nationwide you hear how great peanut butter and jelly is. And your like its not peanut butter dude!!!!  LOL

@fuji9991 I'm a fan of star trek classic. I love the original characters (kirk, spock, scotty, bones). I dislike the rest of the crews. Well, I liked this new movie. It HAD o be different. It couldn't have been the same old sh*t. I think it was new and refreshing, while keeping the spirit of the original character. Is a lot more fast-paced, but the characters are younger, so it fits. The missing theme is exploration of the unknown, but this episode was just a presentation of the new characters.

"I'm not a Trekkie" and "I loved it" were a common combination of statements for people who really liked this movie. I'll just say that I found it less bad than Nemesis.

@fuji9991 that and excellent acting . . .

[bronco2121]

that roadblock was a metaphor for the entire film.

[fuji9991]

you do have to know absolutely nothing about star trek to have liked it. if you know or cared anything about star trek you would realize how hard core Abrams whored out a wonderful franchise for michael bay like moive that meant absolutely nothing except to rape the goodness from every star trek fans mind for a profit and to create thousands of new mindless trek fans who will mindlessly line up for mindless effects.
