Amazon.co.uk Review

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).
The action and visuals make for a spectacular big-screen movie, though the plot by Abrams and his writers, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (who worked together on Transformers and with Abrams on Alias and Mission Impossible III), and his producers (fellow Losties Damon Lindeloff and Bryan Burk) can be a bit of a mind-bender (no surprise there for Lost fans). Hardcore fans with a bone to pick may find faults, but resistance is futile when you can watch Kirk take on the Kobayashi Maru scenario or hear McCoy bark, "Damnit, man, I'm a doctor, not a physicist!" An appearance by Leonard Nimoy and hearing the late Majel Barrett Roddenberry as the voice of the computer simply sweeten the pot. Now comes the hard part: waiting for some sequels to this terrific prequel. --David Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars Star Trek XI, 14 Oct 2009
By Kobiyashi Maru "Kobiyashi Maru" (Stoke-on-Trent, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Trek XI (2-Disc Edition) [DVD] [2009] (DVD)
THIS YEAR'S IRON MAN
I guess there are different sorts of die hard fans. I'm of the type who has lapped up everything Star Trek for 40 years. The orginal series was great and so were most of the even numbered movies. TNG was a great ride but with each successive series thereafter, the ideas got less an less original - not that the shows weren't created by hugely talented people but how could they stay hot after hundreds of episodes? By the time we limped to Enterprise, the franchise needed a shot in the arm if it was going to survive. I was hugely sceptical about Abrams' version - Simon Pegg as Scotty, come on! I mean we love him but that definately felt like credibility was being stretched.

What a true delight it was then to see a true pumped up, rock 'n' roll version of Star Trek! Abrams and his gang did a clever thing, they created their very own Star Trek leaving the original series and everything we know fully intact sat happily in its own time line. Don't misunderstand though, this is the very same Kirk, Spock, McCoy and co. we all know and love, just sent down a slightly different path. So we can take a few liberties, mix things up a bit and generally have a ton of fun.

The story does what it needs to, the casting is great (especially Spock and McCoy), the effects are fantastic and Abrams manages to do character moments on the move so there's hardly time to take a breath - oh and Simon Pegg is great as Scotty!

Overall I got a real sense of joi de vivre, hence it being this year's Iron Man something that's been missing from Trek for a long time.

Maybe the best thing is, die hards and newbies alike will all find something to like.

Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars it's star trek jim but not quite as we know it, 28 Nov 2009
By Paul Tapner (poole dorset england) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Star Trek XI (2-Disc Edition) [DVD] [2009] (DVD)
Every franchise, from time to time, needs to reinvent itself in order to stay fresh. Star Trek, after years of tv shows that were rehashing old stories and getting tied up in continuity and facing an ever declining audience, had come to the point where it needed to do the same. Fans would often say that the show needed new blood on it.

And that's what the studio have done. Brought in new creators who can take the whole thing in an entirely new direction. No longer on the small screen either.

Star trek movies can't make a profit if they appeal solely to the fan base. They have to be a hit with the general public as well. And to the latter, star trek is kirk and spock and crew.

So, given the age of those left from the original cast making their return impractical, the whole thing had to start afresh. Tell a tale of how kirk and his crew came to be.

In addition to doing that, it also needed to satisfy all the viewers. provide an exciting action adventure movie and deal with the existence of all the previous incarnations of the show.

And it manages to do all that and more. The tale of how jim kirk and his crew came together whilst dealing with a deadly threat from a vengeance crazed alien, this is exciting and entertaining. a superb cast manage to bring in their own fresh takes on the original characters rather than do a straight impersonation, there are references that will appeal to fans but that won't get in the way of the general publics appreciation of the film, and it also through some deft plotting manages to wipe the slate clean and leave us with no idea what will happen next to these characters. The original series continuity still exists, but this crew won't be going through it. Star trek is boldly going where no man has gone before once again. I can't wait to find out where it ends up next. And all fans should embrace this new direction in the same way.

As should any members of the general public who want to watch an entertaining film.

This is the two disc edition of the movie.

The first disc contains the film itself, plus three extras: a commentary from some of the production staff.

An eighteen minute long making of the movie documentary. this cant cover everything in such a brief running span but the technical tricks it demonstrates which the crew used to avoid having to shoot with cgi are quite fascinating.

There's also a six minute long gag reel. Like most of these it involves people pulling funny faces and making silly noises, which must have been fun at the time but gets a bit wearing very quickly when watching. there are a couple of funny outtakes in the middle of it, though.

langauges on the disc: english and english audio descriptive

subtitles: english danish dutch finnish norwegian swedish

disc two also has subtitles in french german and italian in addition to the above [but be aware these three are not on the movie on disc one]

extras on this disc: thirteen minutes worth of deleted scenes. these include a few more appearances for spocks mother and a longer version of the kobayashi maru scene and are worth a look. and when watched you can watch them again, should you choose, with a commentary from the production staff as to why they were cut.

to boldly go is a sixteen minute long documentary about the genesis of the project.

casting looks at how each actor was selected in a thirty minute long feature.

aliens looks at the prosthetics and make up used for all the aliens on display in the film and runs for sixteen minutes

and score runs for six minutes and is about the music used in the film.

all of these are pretty absorbing viewing although some might find the casting one a bit of a love in. But it was evidently a very happy set, so it's nice to see.

The extras arent the longest in the world, but they make this edition worth the extra outlay. And of course, there's a great movie to go with them

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Blu Ray Transfer., 12 Nov 2009
By J. Pike "J.Pike" (Guernsey, Channel Islands) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Star Trek XI (3-Disc Edition) with Bonus Digital Copy [Blu-ray] [2009] (Blu-ray)
Amazing blu ray transfer and thanks to the boys in blue (Royal Mail Blue that is) causing much mayhem, many online retailers are shipping early I have just received my copy and I'm 100% happy with it.

Many people are not happy with the new film but I really don't understand why? It is a fantastic way to refresh everything and while it rewrites history it is done in a completely explainable way and I look forward to many more films with hopefully the same actors who play their respective characters to perfection.

CGI has come a long way over the years and this is just about the first time I didn't think "you can tell that's done with a computer".

The Blu ray comes with a second disc jam packed with extras and the extra scenes are fantastic to watch. We all know a directors cut that will include them will be released in the next 12 months though.

All in all this is one of the best modern films I've watched and unlike most modern films I will be watching this on more then one occasion.

Looking forward to Star Trek 12.
