After a highly emotional beginning with a great expanded cameo from Chris Hemsworth (up and comer at the time), I don't think the film ever reaches those gut punching heights, so from that angle, the film doesn't necessarily succeed. Of course, there are quite a few gaps in the storytelling. In all, the characters still feel like the same old Enterprise characters from the old films and series, just with a fresh spin. But it does also provide us with a more unplugged version of Spock, though obviously still emotionally guarded. I particularly enjoyed the much more involved Uhura, though I'm not sure she needed to have a romantic relationship with Spock. Though Eric Bana is unrecognizable and quite good as Nero, he's sort of an antagonist doing antagonistic things just so that Kirk and Spock can have something to overcome.Īs it is a reimagining of sorts for the crew, we get to see Spock, Kirk, and even Uhura in places we've never seen them, both physically and emotionally. In this case those people are one, in Spock. Take the villain for example, Nero, he's a vengeful leader of a race who demands payback against those who wronged him.

Abrams took a relatively simple and safe approach to revamping the series with Star Trek. Luckily, they all fit right in with the actors who previously played the crew of the Starship Enterprise, while also bringing a fresh new face to the front of the franchise.

I tend to believe Abrams did right by the franchise's history and pathed the correct way to take the series. Abrams brought us in 2009 should not be considered canon or even a part of the franchise. Plenty Star Trek super fans stand by the notion that the rebooted/re-imagination that J.J.
