Star Trek

Paramount Pictures

Rated PG-13

Running time: 127 minutes


In Paramount Pictures update of the TV series. the movie is very true to the spirit of Star Trek. It brings the crew of the starship Enterprise together for the first time, and is very optimistic and fun with a level of intensity that is more than a typical TV episode of Star Trek. There are a couple of plot points which changes traditional Star Trek canon, but this might make for interesting story-telling for future films. With Spock, Leonard Nimoy, going back in time, this film is on a different timeline than the TV series. It was nice to see George Kirk, Chris Hemsworth, as the father of James T. Kirk, Chris Pine.  Zachary Quinto is perfect as the young Spock. I could see him as the original Spock in the 1960's TV series. Anton Yelchin was appropriatlely very young as Chekov. As Simon Pegg, who plays chief engineer Montgomery Scott, says "I like this ship!"

Rated PG-13 for violence. Running time: 127 minutes.
