Star Trek (Collector's Edition Steelbook) Review
I really enjoyed this "reboot" of the Star Trek story. Even though I don't consider myself a hard-core Star Trek fan, I was excited by the idea of seeing the early years of the Enterprise crew. Overall, I'd give the film an A- for it's solid story, great acting and special effects. I wasn't too impressed with the interior shots and set of the engine room/lower levels of the Enterprise, as it's painfully obvious they were shot in a present-day industrial facility of some sort. That was the low point for me, and it stood out like a sore thumb in an otherwise well-made flick.
Also, this movie really shines when experienced on a quality big screen HDTV with (at least) a good 5.1 surround sound audio system.
Lastly, thumbs-up to Amazon for fast shipping and a great price for the three disk edition. Collector's edition features steelbook packaging!
The greatest adventure of all time begins with Star Trek, the incredible story of a young crew's maiden voyage onboard the most advanced starship ever created: the U.S.S. Enterprise. On a journey filled with action, comedy and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk (Chris Pine), is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock (Zachary Quinto), was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before.

By now in the Star Trek world everything's been re-imagined and time-warped and saved and destroyed just so many times that anything can happen. It's interesting how the new director manages to keep on having the brash Kirk pretty much unable to outshine the creepy Spock, but who would have ever thought that Vulcans could be sexy!!! Eric Bana as a Romulan general bent on revenge has a good blend of corn, and we enjoy the entrance of each familiar player as they come (although maybe Uhuru is just a bit too sassy?). I like the idea of "red matter", and the mindless violence was really good fun. Zen and I laughed our heads off at Montgomery Scott's alien sidekick, especially in his last appearance at the end of the movie ("You - get down from there!!!).
