Feature Trailer
J.J. Abrams' 2009 feature film was billed as "not your father's Star Trek,"
but your father will probably love it anyway. And what's not to love? It has
enough action, emotional impact, humor, and sheer fun for any moviegoer, and
Trekkers will enjoy plenty of insider references and a cast that seems ideally
suited to portray the characters we know they'll become later. Both a prequel
and a reboot, Star Trek introduces us to James T.
Kirk (Chris Pine of The Princess Diaries 2), a sharp but aimless young man
who's prodded by a Starfleet captain, Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood), to
enlist and make a difference. At the Academy, Kirk runs afoul of a Vulcan
commander named Spock (Zachary Quinto of Heroes), but their conflict has to take
a back seat when Starfleet, including its new ship, the Enterprise, has to
answer an emergency call from Vulcan.
What follows is a stirring tale of genocide and revenge launched by a Romulan
(Eric Bana) with a particular interest in Spock, and we get to see the familiar
crew come together, including McCoy (Karl Urban), Uhura (Zoe Saldana), Sulu
(John Cho), Chekhov (Anton Yelchin), and Scottie (Simon Pegg).
