A Spectacular Experience

Rating: 10/10 (23 April 2010)

After I saw the teaser trailer for this on the Iron Man DVD, I decided to check it out. And it was awesome, Even though I really haven't watched most of the Star Trek TV series or the films, but I say this is a great reboot to the Star Trek films.
The film stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Eric Bana, Bruce Greenwood, Simon Pegg, Leonard Nimoy, etc.
I go over the story.
When the Romulan mining ship Narada attacks the Federation starship US Kelvin, Captain George Kirk substitutes his captain, who is going to meet the Romulan Captain Nero (Eric Bana) in his vessel to negotiate a cease fire, in the command of the US Kelvin. He orders the evacuation of the damaged starship, including his wife that is in labor; while she delivers their son James Tiberus Kirk in the hospital shuttle-craft, George Kirk crashes the US Kelvin against the Narada. The reckless and troublemaker Kirk (Chris Pine) grows up and when he meets Capt. Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood) in a bar fight, he is invited to join the Starfleet. Meanwhile in Vulcan, the outcast Spock (Zachary Quinto) grows-up discriminated by his half-human condition. They meet each other in the Starfleet Academy, where Spock accuses Kirk of lack of ethics, cheating a test of command. The trial is suspended with the information that Vulcan is under attack and the Federation spaceships head to Vulcan, including the recently commissioned USS Enterprise. Kirk, who is a stowaway, foresees an alien attack and advises Captain Spike; however, the Enterprise is damaged and when Captain Spike travels to meet Captain Nero, Spock assumes the bridge and has a serious friction with Kirk after the destruction of Vulcan. Kirk is accused of mutiny and stranded in the desert planet Delta Vega. Out of the blue, he is saved from an attack of an alien animal by an old Spock (Leonard Nimoy) that explains to him that Captain Nero blames him and the Federation for the destruction of his home planet Romulus by a supernova. Spock explains that he had failed with the creation of a black hole with red matter to consume the supernova and Nero is seeking revenge. Now Kirk has to find a way to save Earth, the next destination of Narada.
So far this is one of the top action movies of 2009, along with Transformers 2, District 9, 2012, Avatar and Sherlock Holmes.
Star Trek gets 10 stars.
