Film Reviews - Star Trek (2009)

For those of you reading this, I am admitting something that I wouldn't say in public:  I am a Star Trek fan.  The William Shatner Star Trek was amazing to me growing up.  True, I only saw them in syndication because I was born in the late 70's so I'm a child of the 80's.  Having said that, I do enjoy the latest incarnation brought to us by Director J.J. Abrams who has many producer and writer credits, but has only directed a few episodes of television and one feature movie (Mission Impossible 3).

With this version of Star Trek we begin at the origins of the crew of the USS Enterprise, which weren't even through Starfleet Academy yet.  I won't spoil anything more, but our first scene with James T. Kirk is when he's a baby.  We end up seeing all of the original crew members (not cast) from their beginnings and how the friendships were forged.  The special effects and character make-up was amazingly accurate with an updated look.  Go check this one out if you haven't already!
