Product Description James T. Kirk and his fellow novice crew members aboard the Enterprise face the Romulan villain Nero, who seeks revenge against the Vulcan race for an
Amazon.com 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

| Customer Reviews: wonderful remake September 6, 2010 Jeffrey mr. video (hopwood pa. usa) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
my wife and i were never trekkies, but we grew up watching shatner, and the old star trek and liked it, never really got into the spinoffs even though i liked the next generation movies, wife didn't, we both just finished watching the new star trek movie, and very glad i bought it, we liked the characters, the humor, storyline, the action, special effects were outstanding, don't understand some of these reviews and what they want in a movie, they nailed most of the characters, the movie without spoiling anything was a little fast put together as the crew were put in their places a little earlier then was believable, but we loved the movie and can't wait for the next one, without spoiling anything the romantic interlude was very unexpected, the plot great, characters likeable, this movie had the humor the next generation and other star treks lacked which i think is why my wife loved it so much, james kirk was a little bit wacky, spock's voice was a little high pitched, was it a perfect movie, such thing is not possible, but a great movie we both think it was, simon pegg could have been brought in a little sooner also, if you are a fan of any star trek or star wars, it hard to believe you would not like or love this movie, good luck and take care...............

Good reboot to the series September 2, 2010 Mujer (Cleveland, OH) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
First,let me say that Leonard Nimoy's Spock has always been my favorite Star Trek character. I was very pleased, in this new version, to see more of Spock's human qualities. Although only half-Vulcan, his demeanor (while I loved it!) was always in full-Vulcan mode. I like the new side to Spock, and I like the romance between Spock and Uhura. Although I originally liked William Shatner's Jim Kirk, over time I began to find the character pompous, arrogant, and full of himself. It's interesting, and very realistic to me, that the young Jim Kirk had those characteristics in abundance! In all, I like the direction that this reboot to the classic series is taking. I enjoyed the movie and look forward to its sequel.
Action-Smacktion September 1, 2010 John L. Folmar (san francisco, CA United States) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was never a "trekkie" although I grew up watching the original Star Trek series and enjoyed the first 3 or 4 feature films such as The Wrath of Khan and The Voyage Home. What they lacked in visual effects and technological savvy they more than made up for in story, pitch and character development.
Star Trek 2009 is not a "bad" movie. There is a plot and the movie does involve the genesis of the original characters and how and why they found themselves together aboard the acclaimed USS Enterprise. Unfortunately, the film focuses too little on these events and primarily concerns itself with action scenes and special effects.
Almost from the word GO the movie is about loud and noisy, although visually spectacular, battle scenes combined with exhausting, seemingly never ending brawls between the various characters. In between, the plot is very difficult to follow. There are several flash forwards accompanied by several flashbacks because the plot involves....you guessed it, a black hole involving time travel. I was so busy trying to unravel the plot shifts that it wasn't until well after the movie ended that I came to the conclusion that the storyline was actually pretty clever.
Star Trek 2009 is all about fast, furious and visually entertaining and leaves little to the imagination.
Strak Trek August 28, 2010 Michelle Lee (Scotts Valley, CA United States) Watch these movie over and over loved it. Great casting and story line. The special features on the actors was fun. If you love Sci-Fi this has to be in your library...
