Rating: 7/10 (17 August 2010)

Excellent prequel to the splendid saga with a complex intrigue but following the canon and overemphasis on juvenile characterization and special effects . A new entry of the mythical saga of Star Trek directed by J. J. Abrams , the creator of ¨Mission impossible 3¨ and the successful series as "Lost" and ¨ Fringe¨ and many others ; here is developed the first meeting between the captain James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto). Everything has been prepared for the maiden voyage of the entire crew in the aircraft more modern that has ever been made : ¨The Starship USS -1701 Enterprise¨ that ' boldly go where no man has gone before ' . His young crew has a fundamental objective : to find a manner to detain the nasty Romulano Nero (Eric Bana) who seeks revenge against Spock and threat to mankind . But the fate of the galaxy lays on the hands of two young rivals who were born in different planets . One of them, James Tiberius Kirk is a natural leader in search for a just cause . The another , Spock , who grew up in the world Vulcano, is a special character because of his part half human ( whose Vulvanian father is Ben Cross and human mother is Winona Ryder) , that makes it susceptible to instability on emotions . But Spock is also a brilliant and recent officer , while arrogant Kirk is a philander and roguish student . The crew of the USS is commanded by Captain Christopher Pike ( Bruce Greenwood lookalike role to Jeffrey Hunter ). There are also the Medical Officer , Leonard "Bones" McCoy (Karl Urban in the role of DeForest Kelley); the man who will become the chief engineer of the Starship , Montgomery "Scotty" Scott (Simon Pegg in the role of James Doohan); the communications officer Uhura (Zoë Saldaña similar character to Michelle Nichols ), the experienced Sulu (John Cho substituting George Takei) and the young Chekov (Anton Yelchin in the role of Walter Koenig). All the classic personages taking on a dangerous first proof , confronting a terrible enemy Romulano named Nero and his hoodlums .
