Review of Star Trek (2009)

Rating: 8/10 (12 May 2009)

Star Trek is one slick, Enterprising movie.
In making yet another Star Trek, the great challenge the filmmakers -- J.J. Abrams, et al. -- faced was to be contemporary while also respecting the past.
The Trekkie franchise goes back to the beginning of Gene Roddenberry's TV series in 1966 -- 45 years ago. Maybe that's a blip in galaxy time, but it's two generations in human time.
Star Trek (2009) passes its obstacles with dazzling, time-warping colors. It's frisky fun yet has the ballast of essential quality.
