"Star Trek" A-Seen-Before

A true piece of pure Sci Fi Entertainment

I was truly skeptical the first time I saw this movie; I was thinking how easy it could be to completely destroy the classic show with a remake that would only focus on the effects and not the plot at all. But man, was I in for a surprise.

The story starts with a mysterious Romulan ship that appears from out of no where, appearing out of a lighting storm in front of the USS Kelvin, a federation ship which holds George Kirk as co-captain. The desperation of saving as much of the crew as possible, including his pregnant wife, Kirk steps up as captain of the Kelvin when the captain is murderer and sacrifices himself to save almost the entire crew.

Two decades later the cocky womanizer Jim Kirk has a hard time fitting in, but is convinced to joining the federation - where he meets the young half human half vulcan Spock - and it doesn't take long before the two strong personalities crash together. But can they put aside their differences and come together when an old and unconquered enemy resurfaces?

You're thrown into the action, the effects are yes, amazing, but from the beginning you can see that there is more than just mindless action - here they've actually spent time constructing a story which is not just cool and fun, but that brilliantly also changes the course of the Star Trek history, giving J.J. Abrams and the others behind this movie the opportunity to create a new Star Trek universe.

And I sure am looking forward to the sequel(s)!
