He was searching for Ambassador Spock, who is a child on Vulcan, disdained by his neighbors for his half-human nature. Twenty years later, Kirk has grown into a young troublemaker. He is inspired by Capt. Christopher Pike to fulfill his potential in Starfleet, even though he annoys his instructors. Suddenly, there is an emergency on Vulcan when the Romulan Nero comes from the future to take revenge on the Federation. The newly commissioned USS Enterprise is crewed with promising cadets like Uhura, Sulu, Chekov and even Kirk himself thanks to Leonard McCoy's medical trickery. Together, this crew will travel to the final frontier where the old legend is altered forever.

Add a QuoteUhura- Oh please there's a mouth breather under your bed. Kirk- You can here me breathing?? Uhura- You?!!!
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: "I may throw up on ya." James T. Kirk: "I think these things are pretty safe." Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: "Don't pander to me, kid. One tiny crack in the hull and our blood boils in thirteen seconds. Solar flare might crop up, cook us in our seats. And wait'll you're sitting pretty with a case of Andorian shingles, see if you're still so relaxed when your eyeballs are bleeding. Space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence." James T. Kirk: "Well, I hate to break this to you, but Starfleet operates in space." Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: "Yeah. Well, I got nowhere else to go. The ex-wife took the whole damn planet in the divorce. All I got left is my 'bones'." (sips out of his flask, hands it to Kirk)
Flight Officer: "...You need a doctor." Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: "I told you people I don't need a doctor, dammit -- I AM a doctor!" Flight Officer: "You need to get back to your seat." Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: "I had one. In the bathroom with no windows." Flight Officer: "You need to get back in your seat, NOW." Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: "I suffer from aviophobia -- it means fear of dying in something that flies!" Flight Officer: "Sir, for your own safety, sit down or else I'll make you sit down!"
James T. Kirk (after getting reamed by Spock): "Who was that pointy-eared bastard?" Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: "I don't know, but I like him."
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: "Dammit, man! I'm a doctor, not a physicist!"
Spock: "...Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds... To seek out new life-forms and new civilizations... To boldly go where no one has gone before."

Add a CommentFun and free-wheeling like the original (also shares the original's frequent lapses in logic but that's just part of the fun). Personnel, plot and production values keep the entertainment value at a high level.
Good movie.
More of a Star Wars guy than Star Trek, but this was a great reboot of the franchise. I actually thought ( this may be trekkie blasphemy ) that they should have NOT had Leonard Nimoy do his big cameo. A reboot should be exactly that. Cut off the old dead husk of star trek and get ready to be really entertained by this new one.
I love this movie. Lots of action!
I'm a "Star Trek" fan all the way back to the pre-Shatner two-part pilot, "The Menagerie", with Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Pike. (I've never been to a Trekkie convention, though, nor do I ever intend to be.) I really enjoyed this prequel, arriving amazingly 43 years after the first show aired. The entire cast was excellent, but I was particularly impressed with Zachary Quinto as Spock, and Karl Urban as McCoy; I thought they nailed the originals' mannerisms and subtleties. I guess the writers altered Trek's history somewhat, with Sarek's human wife and the planet Vulcan (unless they have a way around that in a future film, perhaps. Maybe not.) Whatever. Great flick. Kudos to J.J. Abrams, et al. I feel it was a fitting tribute to the incredible Gene Roddenberry legacy. Looking forward to the next in 2013. FIVE STARS.
One word, AWESOME.
This movie was entertaining and interesting but not one of my favorite for this year. “Not too bad---good performance”. "I fast forwarded a lot but not all the way.”
I geeked out on this one. Yay, enjoyed it as much as when I saw it in the theater. I do hope they slow the pace to a more typical trek pace in what follows.
This is a most excellent movie. It has eveything you need, action, romance, drama, comedy. The acting is outstanding as are the costumes, special effects, and yes, even the 'bad guys.' This takes the crew of the enterprise in a completely different direction than the series that you see on television but I won't spoil it for you. You have to see it to believe it. Excellent movie five stars!!
Loved the choices for the characters. Good storyline and a great adventures.
