The future begins with director J.J. Abrams' reimagining of Star Trek that has taken audiences by storm. When the Romulan Nero comes from the future to take revenge on the Federation, the new recruits of the U.S.S. Enterprise will voyage through unimaginable danger to stop him from destroying everything they know. This is not your father's Star Trek!

As far as this product, I just returned to work from the Best Buy near my job where I picked it up on my lunch break, so I haven't viewed it yet. I'm sure, outside of some manufacturer defect, it's going to be fine.
"Someone" said that with this movie Hollywood has ruined the Star Trek franchise. I could not disagree more. Hollywood DID NOT ruin the Star Trek franchise. They resurrected it. I agree certain movie makers have messed up some great TV Series; but don't write off all of Hollywood. Unfortunately great things sometimes fall into the hands of the wrong producers, directors, etc. Besides, Star Trek is more than a franchise. It is a way of life. I am a first generation trekker. I'm a 45 year old professional and have been a trekker since the age of 4. I can tell you that the message of Star Trek runs deeper and means more than that of Star Wars or any other TV series or movie series in any genre. It is a message of true diversity and hope for a wonderful future for every living creature. And the hope of many trekkers/trekkies everywhere when we were anticipating the release of this movie was that Star Trek would have its last great moment and go out with not only a bang but with the dignity that it and Gene Roddenberry and Majel Barrett-Roddenberry (God rest their souls) deserve. But now, to the unexpected joy of Trek fans the world over the future is wide open to a multi-dimensional universe of possibilities. It does me so proud to know that Star Trek is in such capable and worthy hands. I could go on a raging tangent drawing so many similarities between incidents that happened in the original series, the many novels and of course the movies where Kirk, Spock and the Enterprise have been brought back from the dead; and now in like manner Star Trek itself is given a new breath of life. My hat is off to Abrams, Orci, Kurtzman, all the actors and everyone else involved in the creation of this feat of movie-making genius. We who really are Star Trek fans and who really do understand its message owe these people a debt of gratitude that can never be paid. They have snatched the greatest film "franchise" in the history of motion photography from the brink of the abyss and proven once and for all that no other TV and/or movie series in any genre can match the brightness and impact that is STAR TREK!!!
What's great about it: Find Something That's Not.. I dare ya!
What's not so great: Yeah, uh huh, sure..
I would recommend this to a friend!
