“Star Trek” follows the early days of James T Kirk (Chris Pine). A rebel who lost his father at birth and seems determined to ruin his own life. After a chance encounter with Captain Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood), he realizes his life is going nowhere. The Captain challenges Kirk to try to live to the standards his father did, who sacrificed himself to save thousands of lives. Apparently this challenge works and Kirk joins a group of fellow Starfleet cadets. Kirk obviously is a force to be reckoned with and when his antics in training are questioned he faces a suspension.

The greatest adventure of all time begins and Kirk being suspended or not, will be joining the other cadets on a young crew’s maiden voyage aboard the most advanced starship ever created: the U.S.S. Enterprise.  A journey filled with action, comedy and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind.  The revenge from the evil being is from the Romulans, who seek vengeance from Spock (Zachary Quinto), one of the most promising members of the crew and a torn individual. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals Kirk, a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy, and Spock, who was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion.  As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before!

“Star Trek” offered incredible dialogue, action, thrills and enjoyable tales anyone could enjoy. I was very concerned at first that viewing this film I would be lost, but was pleasantly surprised as it was easy to follow and I was not confused by any part of it. Chris Pine portrayed James Kirk flawlessly and offered a certain charm on-screen. Zachary Quinto had a spectacular performance as the detached Spock.  J.J. Abrams proves his masterpiece can translate into great work on the big screen. “Star Trek” was a fun filled adventure that all viewers will enjoy. Trekkies will be pleased with this film, and non-Trekkies will find it just as enjoyable.
