It's Star Trek, Jim, but not as we know it. Spock snogs Uhura – It's the pointed ears they go for

Rating: 7/10 (14 May 2009)

Spock snogs (aka kisses passionately) Uhura means we couldn't have an unemotional Spock in the 21st century. It's the pointed ears they go for. This Spock probably watches soap operas and gets weepy during the toilet paper commercial with the little puppy in it. Kirk also has to be different. He's not a serious Starship captain. He's a troubled teenage tearaway who just pops into the Academy for 3 years and then sneaks onto the Enterprise.
The original Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) once said to Star Trek creator Gene Rodenberry about the original TV series "You're making morality plays " and he said "Ssh, they haven't figured it out". Well no danger of that here. It's fun, not serious.
Without giving too much away the Romulans go back in time for revenge, cheap beer and more tattoos. The characterizations are quite good and some good comic moments come out of that.
It's good fun and I'm sure there'll be more of this new Star Trek. The only question is how far this Spock/Uhura thing will go. Perhaps we'll see "Star Trek 2 – The Wrath of that time of the month" and then maybe "Star Trek 3 – The search for the G-Spot "
