Star Trek [XI] -The Reboot

cdn — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 10:58:38 +0000

J. J. Abrams’ Star Trek sees Chris Pine take on the role of William Shatner’s younger self, with Heroes‘ Sylar Zachary Quinto as his Mr Spock. Nimoy reprises his Ambassador Spock.

The crew of the newly launched NCC-1701 USS Enterprise tackle the bereaved Nero, a Romulan miner from the future, out on a mission of revenge; it’s a good film, and addition to Star Trek. Spacetime is somewhat flexible, as is adherence to the Star Trek mythos.

Star Trek on DVD at Play.com.

Was also available on a Limited Edition USB Memory Drive ~~Stick~~.

Pine is very different from his psycho assassin in the disappointing Smokin’ Aces – don’t take my word for it – on DVD at CD-Wow.
