Advantages: Swift plot development; suitable for nearly all ages. Disadvantages: Terrible plot; unconvincing characters; indifferent acting.
I approached the release of the new StarTrek film.
StarTrek (2009)
The film has a dramatic beginning as we follow the USS Kelvin in an encounter with a Romulan mining vessel captained by the deranged Nero (Eric Bana). First Officer of the Kelvin, George Kirk (Chris Hemsworth), realises that the ship?s crew can only be saved at the expense of his own life. Meanwhile, in her evacuation pod, his wife Winona (Jennifer Morrison) gives birth to an infant, named James Tiberius Kirk.
So far, so cheesy, but this plotline allows us quickly to anchor the film at a particular point in the StarTrekuniverse, as we realise that James Kirk will become the legendary Captain who explored the universe in the original television series.

The Worst film if you dispised all actions and thrillers, but one of the BEST films of the decade if you love actions and thrillers like me!

Advantages: Okay if you don't think too hard about it Disadvantages: Plot holes and poor acting
I was a bit wary of watching this film, because I really enjoyed the later StarTrek films, and wasn?t sure a prequel was a good idea.
Synopsis
The story follows James Kirk from the events of his birth and his yearly years, but mainly concentrates on his first voyage on the Starship Enterprise. It also follows the life of Spock and how he was an outcast both on Vulcan and Earth due to his mixed parentage. Spock as we all know also ends up on the Enterprise.
Early in the film Kirk is accused of cheating on a test, and during the enquiry a distress call is received from Vulcan and Starfleet respond by sending off the fleet to investigate. Despite the fact Kirk is suspended he sneaks on the Enterprise as it heads off. The ship is being run by all new recruits apart from the captain, so it sets off later than the rest ...
