Star Trek Reviewed... sort of.
Ok we went to see Star Trek for
Mothers Day. Yes, she wanted to go. The improved sets and young,
sexier versions of old characters may have played a small part in
that decision as well. This action packed, sci-fi extravaganza,
should entice a new fan base and possible skate through some
potential harm from the old fan boys( now about 40 years or so of
age). Spoiler alert!
The story touches on the origins of the beloved crew of the enterprise, at least a parrallel version of their characters. Do to an astronomical natural then unatural phenomenon, the course of time changes, which in turn changes the whole known history of our famous characters.
A sun of the Romulan solar system goes super nova, which will destroy the Romulan planet. Our beloved Spock devices a way to save the planet by creating a situation that will cause the sun to create a singularity. (black hole) in turn preventing the destruction of the planet. (but wouldn’t the planet get ripped apart from the black hole?). Don’t ask they don’t answer that. Spock ends up bring to late and a Romulan surviver ( thanks to some outer space blue collar work) blames Spock for everything. The former Hulk, Eric Bana plays our mad bad guy. And he swears revenge and during his hunt both Spock (now old and wise) runs into the black hole to avoid getting killed. He and the pursuing menace travel back in time to undue and take revenge on the Federation. This action changes the universe we know and loved and makes a new time line starting from the birth of Captian James T Kirk. This set up allows for a whole new series of Star Trek movies that won’t interfere with Gene Roddenberry’s work. Since he is not around, they can refer to his work but not have to follow the books, the shows, the comics, nor video games. And perhaps not even be so geeky.
You will enjoy this movie, it modernizes the Trekkie-verse. Go watch it and have fun. PS. Wynonna Ryder plays Spocks Mom and manages not to steal his ears.
