Re-Boot

Rating: 6/10 (15 December 2014)

***Warning! Spoiler Information Inside***
After a long pause following the release of Star Trek: Nemesis (2002), the franchise takes the appropriate (though uncertain) step of Re-Booting this classic franchise, updating its characters and content to a modern viewing audience sensibility.
We find James T. Kirk(Chris Pine) , many years before his greatness is known, confronted in a small middle of nowhere bar, confronted by Captain Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood) on the direction of his life. Kirk Accepts the challenge offered by Pike , and in no time is raising hell in Starfleet simulators galaxy wide.
The success of this re-boot is clear. Director J.J. Abrams , and the writing team of Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman , paying deft attention to the subtle texture of the series history both broadly , and in the context of character development , Team the traditional aspects , historical storyline and modern sensibility with a good plot and pen a gem script. The draw back is a too much information too little screen time effect that at times can wear a viewer down, reducing flow speed. All that aside this is worth the watch.
Three stars(of 5.)
