Star Trek

13 Nov 2010 - Last Sunday we had the comeback Star Trek movie on HBO, and it was great fun. Star Trek has a huge fan base, and I believe the fans were not disappointed by the re-make of the classic late 1960s TV series. The 2010 story about the crew of starship Enterprise was entertaining and full of good action. Director J.J. Abrams, known from hit series Lost and Alias, reinvented Star Trek and brought it into the 21st century. He chose a younger cast for his reboot, with sexy Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto taking on the roles of Captain Kirk and Spock respectively. He also added less known villains, the Romulans, into the picture. The result is a fast-paced reintroduction into the Star Trek universe, and it is much edgier than all previous incarnations. It is a big compliment that both die-hards and newcomers appreciated the movie. So did I.
