"Star Trek" brings many Trekkie fans back to the beginning of the whole series. It follows the storyline of Captain James Kirk (Chris Pine) and how he met his fellow USS Enterprise crew members. In the beginning George Kirk (Chris Hemsworth) coming in contact with Nero (Eric Bana). George's wife is about to have their son James, but George creates a collision path into Nero's ship. This changes the history of both James and Spock (Zachary Quinto). The viewer understands Spock Prime (Leonard Nimoy) has rewritten the course of history and helped James fulfill his destiny of becoming Captain of the Enterprise.
The cast of the movie consisted of Lenoard Nimoy who many people have come to love as Spock from the television series. However, joining the cast is Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, John Cho and Karl Urban. All these actors had big shoes to fill for their characters. These actors hit their lines spot on and really impressed the viewers that they were the original characters from the television series.
Though the cast was brilliant on screen, the writing for this movie was exceptional. The viewer can tell the writers have done their research and learned each character's one liners and certain personal characteristics in the series.
The whole movie was done in third person perspective and allowed the viewer to feel they are watching the action as it happens. "Star Trek" also contains many high speed and blurred fight scenes. These camera movements really brought the viewer into the screen. These blurred out movements made the fight scenes seem faster and fluid to the viewer. The computer generated scenes really shows how far technology has grown from the television series.
J.J. Abrams directed and produced "Star Trek," but he has worked on many other pieces that are well known. He produced "Cloverfield," "Alias" and "Lost." Though a lot of his work has been with television, Abrams is working on a Star Trek sequel.
This movie would be recommended for anyone who is a fan of "Star Trek."
