I was a little skeptical about see this movie as I was not the biggest Star Trek fan, but I was very surprised as to how well JJ Abrams takes this long running franchise and makes it a stunning visual effect masterpiece. It tells the story of all the beginnings of your favorite star ship enterprise crew like Captain Kirk, Spock (Zachary Quinto), Sulu (John Cho), Uhura (Zoe Saldana), Scotty (Simon Pegg), Bones (Karl Urban), and Chekov (Anton Yelchin). A Romulan miner's vessel has disrupted time and it's up to our young crew to take the helm and save the earth before he destroys it. The movie is full of surprise appearances and a who's who of actors in Hollywood. The movie features Eric Bana (Munich) as the villain Nero, Leonard Nimoy reprises his role as Spock but an old spock. The movie is full of adventure and has an excellent story around it. I think Chris Pine (Kirk) does an excellent job in this movie and makes Captain Kirk's character very cool and more hip to this century. One of my favorite scenes in the movie was seeing young Kirk take his step dad's convertible out and somehow when he turns on the radio in the car it manages to be playing the Beastie Boys song "Sabotage" before he send it's it off a cliff. So go out and rent this classic. Four and the Half Stars out of Five
