Titolo: Recensione della CNN: Exhilarating!!!

(CNN) -- Did somebody just reach through the space-time continuum and
pull
out a white rabbit? The crew of the Enterprise, led by James Kirk (Chris
Pine) goes forth on a new voyage.
Even diehard Trekkers might agree that Capt. James Tiberius Kirk's best
days are behind him, but by going boldly back into the past for "Star
Trek" -- a "reboot" of the famed series -- director J.J. Abrams and crew
have done more than prove the point. They've presented him with a whole
new future.
This exhilarating blockbuster gets under way at warp speed with a
prologue that climaxes with Jim's birth -- under fire from angry
Romulans -- and the heroic self-sacrifice of his father, who goes down
with his Starfleet command. Life, death and special effects!
The widow Kirk doesn't get much of a look. Next thing we know, James T.
is an angry teenager hot-rodding in a vintage convertible and nearly
throwing himself off a cliff in the process. A few years later, he's
still the impetuous hothead, getting into a barroom brawl with a company
of space cadets and then reporting to the Academy himself the next
morning.
A Cold War hero who doves could dig, Kirk has always been a projection
of American "soft power," a gunboat commander on an intergalactic
peacekeeping mission. He's not perfect, but his flaws are human -- and
in the Cold War context, American flaws: he's stubborn (or determined),
irrational (independent) and above all, emotional (feeling). He never
met an alien of the opposite sex he didn't like or a problem too complex
for his gut.
These traits have a youthful, Kennedy-esque character, so it makes sense
that they're accentuated in Chris Pine's portrait of the captain as a
raw Starfleet recruit, bucking the system. No offense to William
Shatner, but it's been a long, long time since Kirk was this sexy.
Spock traditionally mitigates Kirk's hot-blooded excess with a dose of
cold, hard logic. In the classic Gene Roddenberry scheme of things, the
Enterprise runs most smoothly with both men side by side on the bridge.
Watch how Pine and Abrams shot a key scene in the movie
In this new, young, sometimes angry "Star Trek" -- written by Abrams
cohorts Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman ("Alias") -- most of the running
time they're banging heads, rubbing each other the wrong way. In the
development most likely to dismay "Trek" traditionalists, they even have
eyes for the same girl (Zoe Saldana as a prickly Uhura).
Despite the tension between them, Zachary Quinto's young Spock is
considerably less aloof than Leonard Nimoy's; Quinto stresses confusion
and earnest self-doubt where Nimoy mined cool irony. The performance
makes sense, in context, but the balance of the story doesn't allow the
younger actor to step out the of older Vulcan's shadow in the same way.
This is definitively Kirk's -- and Chris Pine's -- movie: brash,
confident and affectionate.
It's cleverly cast across the board, from Winona Ryder, quietly
effective as Spock's earthling mom, to Eric Bana, a tattooed and
wrathful Romulan. Karl Urban ("Bones" McCoy), John Cho (Sulu), Anton
Yelchin (Chekov) and Simon Pegg (Scotty) are physically close enough to
evoke their counterparts from the original show, but they're not the
finished article, which is where a lot of humor comes in. Orci and
Kurtzmann have crafted brisk, snappy scenes for each of them, playfully
bouncing off our shared sense of these men's future (our past).
You'll notice I haven't explained the plot, and I don't propose to try.
Whether it will stand the test of time -- or even a second viewing -- I
don't know. But I do know I watched this movie with a big smile on my
face; it's a film with a near-permanent twinkle in its eye.

The new Enterprise is a joy to behold. The movie positively gleams with
big-budget production design and deep-space special effects. If the
studios are smart, they'll be lining up to get J.J. Abrams to rejuvenate
every other washed-up franchise in town. May his work live long and
prosper.

 prosper.
OMFG!!! Speriamo che non sia cosi' perche' tutta la TV dal 1960 in poi che fa un
reboot e' il peggiore degli incubi.

All'inizio Dio creo` i programmi e i programmatori;
tutto funzionava a meraviglia.
Poi, per punirli del peccato originale, dal fango venne generato l'utente.

 Oprah Winfrey adesso. E al posto di Fonzie un broker di borsa di Wall St. E
sicuramente la famiglia sarebbe multirazziale con 14 figli adottati da
tutti i continenti

 tutti i continenti
Implicitamente stiamo riconoscendo che la TV seriale e' lo specchio dei tempi,
se mai ce ne fosse bisogno.
Aveva ragione Lapolla quando diceva che negli USA sono piu' affidabili i
telefilm dei telegiornali.
