Review
This review has now been superseded by my Redux Review, which covers more ground than this original review, as stated here: https://movienightcentral.blogspot.com/2019/05/redux-star-trek-2009.html
Let me make this perfectly clear that I am not a Star Trek fan. This film tries to reboot the film series that started in the 60's. It does an alright job trying tell a story. It's fine, trying to be different from what the timeline says, a bit of romance and time travel. Pine plays Kirk in a weird kind of a way with no remorse, Quinto plays Spock with a bit of emotion (similar to what he did on Heroes is your question). The film has a bit of overacting but it is fine nonetheless. The visuals are alright, as this film does get you interested in Star Trek a little (Even if you have to wait 4 years for a sequel).
Overall, I give it 8 out of 10 stars.
