Star Trek (2009)

Star Trek has officially been Re-Booted. Abrams has revamped the Enterprise & brought Gene Roddenberry's classic world into the 21st Century. Whether you are a die hard Trekker or not, this movie will not disappoint. A fun & visually stunning film with just the right balance of action & storyline. The crew are great & by the end of the movie you really want to go on more adventures with them. The special effects for the Enterprise are out of this world & have fantastic attention to detail. On the bridge the technology reminded me of the instruments used in the film Minority Report, which gave it a more realistic rather than futuristic feel. Nicely done...Can't wait to see it on the IMAX screens. TOS fan's can be rest assured the writers have kept to the Star Trek Canon, & in my op...Read more

The attraction that this Star Trek has is that it's very, very truthful to the tales of ye olde Trek. All the characters shown here are believable in the sense that atleast I believed each of them could grow up to be the way they were in the old show. That, the action being pretty nice and Eric Bana being a very good villain, make this an alright action movie. But that's it. There is not a damn thing here to transcend this film from all the other good summer action blockbusters, and it kind of shocks me that it's here. It's a well made picture, sure, but there is very little that could be referred to as original in it. It's also clamped with scenes that are useless and not very entertaining either, such as the comic sidekick Scotty getting stuck into a sewage pipe of some sort for several ...Read more

Oh Star Trek, I wanted to like you a lot more than I ended up liking you. I found you to be quite often over-hyped, slightly generic and a serious case of flash and style over very little substance. I heard a lot of people talk about the rejuvenation of the franchise with this film, but I felt like it was too often just another Star Wars-lite tale of a farm boy making good on saving the universe from a vengeful, wounded bad guy. That and the lense-flare bothered after the third or fourth go round in the Enterprise. There’s no new ground being explored here, it’s just been pumped full of steroids and ignoring real science, which science fiction was based upon, and telling everyone that black holes make time travel much quicker! And the characterizations are beyond paper thin. Kirk is as...Read more

After watching this movie, it becomes obvious that space it not the final frontier, time is. While the story was simply okay & the villian pretty forgettable, the use of time-travel as a way of rebooting the series with the original crew & yet, still keeping in with the continuity that has been built up til now, was ingenius. Now, the potential has been opened up to relaunch the entire franchise using brand new stories but still with the old gang of Kirk, Spock, Sulu, Uhrura, Bones, Chekov & Scotty. The sets & technological designs of this installement, IMO, were bright, stylishly updated & detailed, but still kept with that particular flair that made the early series uniquely it's own. I think that while fans of Star Wars are going to continue to grumble all over the internet ...Read more

"Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life-forms and new civilizations; to boldly go where no one has gone before." Materialising in the shadow of such cinematic reboots as Casino Royale and Batman Begins, J.J. Abrams' Star Trek is a dynamic resurrection of the decades-old franchise of the same name. The studio heads at Paramount Pictures clearly perceived the Star Trek property as a cash cow, and to capitalise on this money-making potential they elected the most popular path for franchise revivification. This Star Trek reboot is therefore a fresh start, disregarding prior instalments and introducing new players on both sides of the camera. Furthermore, 2009's Star Trek has been d...Read more

I have never seen any of the t.v. shows for Star Trek. This movie was nothing like I expected it to be! I expected it to be some boring space movie, and it turned out to be one of the best movies I have ever seen!

What a surprise. I really liked the tv-serielike touch on this. This could just be a season finale of a series you are having really fun to watch. For what it is, it is great. Watch it with friend so you can comment on it at the same time, don't get too serious with it.


+ No unnecessary romance
+ Action parts weren't notched down for the PG-Rating
+ Makers didn't get wild with the outfits, they are simpe
+ Multimedia execution

''Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved 800 lives, including yours. I dare you to do better. Enlist in Starfleet.'' A chronicle of the early days of James T. Kirk and his fellow USS Enterprise crew members. Chris Pine: James T. Kirk To put it simply Star Trek isn't just a reboot of a dying franchise, Star Trek isn't just a summer blockbuster, Star Trek isn't just sci-fi effect laden fun, Star Trek is an adventure, experience and humourous coming together of characters and creatures. This gives Star Wars a run for it's money and ultimately taps into something new the originals and new sequels lacked, spontaneity. It's not just fresh visuals and new characters the music is new also giving the whole film a fresh, reborn, vibrant feel. J.J Abrams has...Read more

JJ Abrams reboot is fantastic, bringing a freshness and lightness of step that has been missing from previous Star Trek movies. Even the overused time travel plotline works in this occasion because in rewriting Star Trek history as we know it, Abrams lets us explore a different Trek universe without being hemmed in by the dictates of canon. This was the problem that the tv show Enterprise experienced making for boring viewing. This eleventh Star Trek is not boring at all. It's fast-paced and exciting with exciting action points and character development. We have fully-fleshed realizations of the TOS characters. Though Shatner plays Kirk best, Chris Pine did a remarkable job of capturing Kirk's arrogance and carefree spirit. I especially loved Karl Urban's portrayal of Dr. McCoy. Zacha...Read more

the Elventh film to date for the star trek franchise. is a good bridge between the show Star trek: Enterprise and the original series. Directed by J.J. Abrams the film focuses on the loss of james T. Kirk's father and mother. we learn (for those of us who don't know the origin of kirk's name) the origin of his full name James Tiberius Kirk. the film also focuses on the relationship of both Spock and Kirk. the character of kirk is different compared to the series. although the basics of kirk are there and he is played by Chris Pine(smokin' aces). Spock's character provides us with the basic idea of vulcan life and is also portayed once more by Leonard Nimoy in a time travel/blackhole expierence. which is the plot of the film. spock is also played by a very good Zachary Quinto(heroes , 24). ...Read more
