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.

Star Trek Mar 20, 2010 Many original Trekies don't like this movie but I did. I saw every TV episode and all of the Star Trek movies. This was by far and above the best of the movies. Special effects were great. I've seen it both in DVD and Blu-ray formats. It deserves Blu-ray.
Cheesy Mar 20, 2010 Sure do miss the originals. This starts out with loud noise, too much action and general overall chaos. By the time all this was over I was asking myself - and when do we get to the plot.
Not of the quality or character of the original. We didn't like it much.
The glare generation Mar 20, 2010 The video and audio quality are great, which makes this lens flare/glare orgy completely unwatchable. If you can tolerate the over abundance of pointless and illogical lens flare/glare then you will be fine watching this movie. All bridge scenes are likely to send anyone even remotely susceptible to flashing lights a seizure.
Great movie Mar 19, 2010 I love this movie. I ordered it from closeoutvideo and they sent it to me in very good time. But the disc stalled during the movie and closeoutvideo gave me a refund immediately. What nice people.
A good popcorn movie so long as you don't stop and think about it. Mar 19, 2010 The special effects are a strong point of the movie and they do their best to not let up on the action. I give this part a 5 star. Watching even the opening sequence of the battle with the USS Kelvin and seeing the startship unleash all that firepower was a plus. It definitely wasn't old series with a pair of phaser beams.
The acting gets a three star from me. I liked the "chip on his shoulder" Kirk. He was suitably brash. Spock alternated between being a wooden puppet and then a drama queen. It's like they tried to do too much with his character over the course of the movie. McCoy was a hoot, probably the most true to the original character. Sulu, Chekov, and Scotty were underutilized and mostly window dressing. Uhura was portrayed well.
The plot gets a whopping 2 stars. Along the lines of Independence Day and stories along the same line, you should just watch the movie and not try to think too much about it. A time traveling divergent reboot opens up a whole can of worms. It's easy to see why they chose the deleted scenes for deletion. They would have made the plot even
more difficult to stomach.
The screenwriters went out of their way to ensure that all the main characters were "special." Things like Chekov leaving the bridge to run down to the transporter room when there is an enemy ship right in front of them or the rapid promotion of Kirk, Spock, and everyone else from cadets to command staff. (I believe he had the con at that time.) I won't go into all the major plot spoilers and plot holes, I'm sure you could go to the 1 and 2 star reviews for that, but suffice to say there are many.
On the positive side, it is uptempo and doesn't stop the action so someone can monologue about the morality of thier predicament. The director just keeps the action rolling.
So, if you're looking for a roller coaster ride with lots of things blowing up and everyone jockeying to get in everyone else's face, you'll enjoy the movie. If you want a deep plot go elsewhere.
