Star Trek

(USA/Germany, 2009, 126 minutes)

Notorious Starfleet cadet James Kirk stows away on the maiden voyage of the starship USS Enterprise in chase of a mysterious Romulan ship with unimaginable capabilities. Extraordinary reboot of a sci-fi franchise long thought dead, reimagined without breaking the series' tradition of smart scripting and attention to character as a no-holds-barred, rollercoaster thrill ride space opera.
