Space. The Final Frontier. Well in this case, this is the Enterprise's first mission. Actually, Star Trek is an alternate retelling of the early years of Enterprise. And when I say early years, think William Shatner but still a cadet, which is now seen to be Chris Pine, in Starfleet Academy.
For those who are not real fans of the Star Trek saga, will actually understand the movie without actually knowing the series nor the other Trek movies. It is a retelling of how James T. Kirk (Chris Pine which was William Shatner in the original series and movies) became part of Starfleet, how he met Mr. Spock (Heroes' Sylar, Zachary Quinto, which was Leonard Nimoy in the original) and the rest of the original Enterprise Crew. Technically, the story unfolded as its supposed to. Kirk becomes captain of Enterprise but the circumstances on how he accomplishes this is different than the original.
I actualy enjoyed watching it for story that is not hard to understand, for the elaborate special and visual effects and the simple plot twists that sets it apart from its original beginnings. Much like XMen Origins, it is a very simple movie. They say it will have two more sequels, i wonder what will be about.
Go watch it! :)
