Star Trek (DVD)

Star Trek (2009) starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Eric Bana, Leonard Nimoy. In this reboot of the Star Trek franchise, Pine stars as a young James T. Kirk, and Quinto plays the young Spock. Urban is especially pleasing as the young "Bones" McCoy. The whole crew is united for the first time as Star Fleet cadets who are called into duty to defend against an attack on Vulcan, Spock's home planet. There's time travel involved, an alternate reality, and something called "red matter," which is never explained but is pivotal to the plot. Despite all the nonsense, as an avid fan of the original "Star Trek," I enjoyed the movie. It will be interesting to see the next installment in the series, if there is one. The DVD has excellent subtitles. Grade: B+
