Star Trek(2009)

Directed by J.J. Abrams

Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the star ship Enterprise.
This movie is a prelude to the popular TV show of the 70's Star Trek.
I never really enjoyed the original Star Trek's with William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk, and Leonard Nimoy as Spock. Mainly because I did not like William Shatner's acting skills.
But in this movie its all new people playing a lot younger characters from the original Star Trek. Chris Pine plays James Kirk and does a great job. Zachary Quinto is Spock, Zoe Saldana as Uhura, Anton Yelchin as Chekov, Karl Urban as Bones, John Chu as Sulu, and my personal favorite character, Scotty is played by Simon Pegg.

The movie starts at the birth of Kirk and jumps to when he is around 10-12 years old, It also shows Spock at this age too. Then it jumps to when both of them apply to Starfleet, in completely different ways.
Three years later it jumps to when Kirk is about to take a test that is supposed to be unbeatable. The test itself was designed by Spock, a well-thought-of Starfleet Officer. Kirk cheats on the test, and while being judged a distress message comes from Vulcan. Starfleet immediately sends of many cadets in the greatest ships Starfleet has, including the recently built Enterprise.
 The movie then  follows Kirk and Spock during a rocky road of betrayal and death. Which ultimately ends in the formation of one of the greatest Starfleet teams.

I enjoyed this movie immensely. I grew up watching Star Trek: The Next Generation, so to see the beginning of the Enterprise is a really treat. It is probably even more of a treat for those who enjoyed the original.

Hello Viewers
July was a off month as you probably noticed. I had an acting camp I was going to everyday, so I didn't have much time to post reviews but now I am back and reviews will be coming quite swiftly.
