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

 Great movie, even for non-fans November 23, 2009

I saw this movie at the theater this summer and really enjoyed it. I was taken aback on the new direction taken by this new movie, and had a little trouble following it completely. Even so, I thought it was a good movie. Friends that went with me are not Star Trek fans, and they raved about what a terrific movie it was.
Having just watched it on dvd here at home, I have to say I LOVED it! I found so much more in it this time around, and had time to really appreciate the story, action, acting, humor, etc. I'm just speaking for myself, but being a huge Star Trek fan, I thought it was excellent in every way. And I'm thrilled the franchise has been renewed in such a positive way, and totally new direction. I can't wait for the next movie!!
 BOYCOTT THIS FRANCHISE November 22, 2009

It is my opinion that this is hands down, the worst trash I have every viewed in my life.
It appears the current owners of this series have casually decided that the star trek franchise was somehow inadequate.
In an instant the entire series has been rewritten, and for what; the sake of profits and commerce?
The haphazard way in which the characters are throw together absolutely disgusts and sickens me.
Clearly no thought has been given to the foundations of this franchise.
To me, there is no more vivid example of greed and capitalism run amok; than this "film".
I will never buy another star trek item of any type for so long as I live, nor will I go to see any future star trek anything.
Something wondrous has been taken and turned it into a mere product exactly like all the other action/adventure garbage clogging up the theaters these days.
I encourage everyone who reads this review to boycott this movie and anything to do with this franchise.
Fantastic blu-ray, and a great reboot of Star Trek! November 22, 2009

Viewed on a Panasonic 50" plasma via a Panasonic DMP-BD80 through a Yamaha RX-V869 receiver (5.1 speakers) and an HDMI splitter/amp.
The movie was outstanding, both PQ and AQ are demo quality. AQ - most of the onboard scenes have a lot of ambient audio with background conversations, but the kicker for fans is hearing the 60's era sound effects coming through your speakers in gorgeous Dolby TrueHD 5.1 . You'll want to rewatch the movie just to hear the battle sequences.
PQ - just from the opening, you can see EVERY pore on Faran Tahir's face. And the movie is consistently as good. This is a movie that requires home viewing on a 50" or larger screen, and corect seating distance.
Outstanding and recommendable, although at this writing, there is no BD live content for the disc.
 Good movie. NOT a good Star Trek movie. November 22, 2009

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RLAHFYUYN0Z1W Brief video review of this...movie. Full review will be up on YouTube shortly (stupid limits).
I had to cut my video review short because Amazon wanted me to, but I had a sentence in there that sums my thoughts up. This is a good movie. It's NOT a good Star Trek movie. That's essentially what it boils down to.
I didn't bother seeing this in theaters because quite frankly, I don't go to theaters to watch movies anymore. The idea of paying a DVD price to watch a movie with a bunch of other germ incubators, crying kids, ringing cell phones and noisy people is not appealing to me anymore like it was when I was a kid. Coworkers commented how much they enjoyed the movie, but when they told me that time travel was involved I knew this was going to go down hill very fast. When the Blu-ray came out I bought it with hesitation - but since I had RewardZone points, it was free, so I didn't lose much, thankfully. I'm so miffed at this movie that I'm going to just use bullets instead of a long out review.
= What Star Trek Does RIGHT =
- CGI is quite good at moments.
- Most of the actors did a good job playing the roles they were meant to (but see WRONG below).
- No campy machines like with Nemesis.
- Zoe Saldana.
= What Star Trek Does WRONG =
- CGI is apparently all they cared about, because the story is severely lacking.
- There was no love angle between Uhura and Spock. Never happened. Latent attraction, maybe early on. But never such a blatant display of affection.
- Chekov looks and acts nothing like the real deal. That actor was absolutely horrid trying to reprise what Walter Koenig made famous.
- Scotty was way over the top. Accent would come and go as it pleased, it was clear the guy was not Scottish in the least, and he was thrown in at the end with no real purpose to things.
- Old Spock felt misplaced and added for fanservice only.
- Pike was way too old. In the first episode of TOS he was a young, 20-something year old. If this took place prior to that maiden voyage, there's no reason for him to look that old. If it took place after that voyage then Spock/Kirk shouldn't have been cadets. Total discontinuity.
- Presents a "what if" scenario that totally and blatantly disregards the Star Trek canon in almost every way.
So what does this mean? If you liked Enterprise you'll probably like this one, because Enterprise in a lot of ways deviated from what made Star Trek famous too, but at least Enterprise had the decency NOT to use true canon characters when doing what it was doing. For $20 it's a fair price, but if you're a Star Trek fan, don't go in expecting a Star Trek movie. It's for people who want to see many things blown up and campy stunts. If you're into that type of stuff this movie will be perfect for you.
WOW! More, Please! November 22, 2009

This is such an action-packed, non-stop entertaining movie. As my nephew says, not too many words, either! This cast leaves no doubt who their grown character are...especially Doc. McCoy "Green-blood Hobgoblin!" Even if you are not a Trekker, you'll love this fun, non-stop action film. J.J. has done it again! As I said earlier, More Please!
