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

I enjoyed the movie in the theatre and couldn't wait for it to show up on DVD. I ordered it pre-release so that I would have it the day of release. I am sorely disappointed in the DVD I received from Amazon. It will not play on my laptop because the code on the DVD is NOT Region 1 (US and Canada). It was supposed to be widescreen and it is letterbox to the point of almost being unable to watch because it is so small. I measured the letterbox on my 37" LG HDTV and it was only 10 inches tall! My friends have purchased the DVD from various local retailers and that is not the case with their versions. I don't know how to go about returning this product or talking with Amazon about it. Any suggestions???
 Good enough (if you don't think too much) November 24, 2009
N. Perz (St. Louis)
I was never a huge Star Trek fan but I did watch it some when I was a kid. This movie is ok. It's kind of fun to see how the crew came together but the plot has a lot of holes in it (I'm sure others will take the time to sit around and list them...). The movie is amusing so long as you don't think too much about it. If you're not already a ST fan then you'll probably not think much of this movie (and rightly so) but, if you are, then you'll probably enjoy it.
 Lame Re-boot November 24, 2009

What a load of krap! This isn't Star Trek, boldly going - it's lame frat boy getting drunk, bar fight, skirt chasing. You want that, go get a copy of of the American Pie movies ( and those were better done too ! ) I feel sorry for Leonard Nimoy & Zachary Quinto, the only people in this trainwreck that were worth actually paying attention to as actors. Have to agree with previous reviewers how much this ripped-off Star Wars, if the director focused more on what Star Trek is about vs. what woould be the next "action shot" this would be a totally differnt kind of movie and one worth rating more starts to recommend its purchase.
Sure hope Paramount dumps this director / writer and fires whoever came up with this kind of a re-boot. It's just as stupid as the one done for Superman Returns, and probably forever drive away the fan base to ever consider going to see another of the franchise releases again.
Disconnected Plot November 24, 2009

Main plot weak and poorly edited. Several sub-plots incomplete and disconnected - have little to do with main story, therefore distracting to viewer. On the plus side, special effects commendable. Summary - Don't waste your money.
