Star Trek film is an explosion of euphoria and an irresistible invitation to fun.

During their incredible journey of galactic exploration and discovery, will find the villain Nero (Eric Bana), whose mission of vengeance threatens all humanity.
Comment:
Yet another Hollywood reboot a conspicuously short of ideas that this time it touches one of the mythical landscape of the entire sci-fi: Star Trek. Star Trek is not just a TV series, novels or films, but a true religion for lovers of science fiction. This saga, perhaps even more than Star Wars, is literally the bible of infinite space, narrative paradise universally recognized by an amazing fandom.
Star Trek stands for orgasm of galaxies and interstellar travel and free-range lives of many and varied alien races and all incredibly well characterized. Each ethnic group has its own culture, their customs and places. Over time and with the advance of the episodes (about 705, adding up the various series) has gone well to form a veritable encyclopedia extraterrestrial in all its rich historical pieces.
This blockbuster directed by King Midas of recent times (or JJ Abrams) aims to rejuvenate a franchise, perhaps a bit 'too austere set because of her, now, old age. The formula for achieving this goal has been to start this new series as a prequel to the original series (as has already happened with Star Wars), putting at the forefront of the small screen stars and starlets who, alas, is so much audience per day today. It has now almost lost the culture of a movie serial, preferring to put up with yet another American.
You will then see a scene relating to the infancy of the rebel Kirk, which steals a Corvette Stingray and rambles with the Iowa Sabotage by the Beastie Boys as background music, and that of Spock and his years in 'academy in the past to fight with his dual nature of human-Vulcan. The two will meet then, almost casually, the Kobayashi Maru test where Kirk, a cheat, structured crumble all the traps from Vulcan surprisingly passing the exam. Abrams gives great importance, as indeed it was a must fare, al rapporto quasi dualistico tra i due personaggi simbolo della saga, sottolineando oltremodo la loro complementarità.
Utilizzando l’escamotage del salto temporale (che permette anche a sua maestà Leonard Nimoy di ritornare a vestire i panni dell’autentico Spock) sono state fatte scelte, a mio avviso, parecchio discutibili che vanno a mutare profondamente lo spirito e la caratterizzazione dei soggetti-bandiera. Quindi – e quì mi riferisco sostanzialmente ai fan della saga – preparatevi a vedere un Kirk versione ubriacone ribelle de provincia sempre in cerca di figa, sfrontato e, per molti versi, presuntuosamente irritante e ad accettare il fatto che Spock si incazza, fa a pugni, è dubbioso ec'ha well as the chick (Uhura) to return to after you complete the mission. Elements, then, going to totally distort a very complex character, worthy of extensive psychological reflections, indeed very commonplace here.
But Spock is not only to be regressed, but in some ways even the whole spirit of Star Trek through the forcing of some elements, such as good-bad contrast child who has never played a role found in the series, breaking the typical static replaced by so much hyper-kinetic and the introduction of a distinctly comic vein which would mobilize the masses of non-specialists, as that Star Trek has not properly targeted to the medium of film, going so but in an almost blasphemous to upset the hard core consisting of the aficionados.
Forget even the dear old Enterprise, totally different from the original, here resembling so flush with the plagiarism of Commander Shepard of the Normandy Mass Effect.
The director is not exactly smiling (Abrams split the long balls with his insistence to the hand-held camera, a technique used on this occasion in a truly disproportionate) but compensate with special effects and a script to scream that sketched a brisk pace aimed at the growing thanks to a classic concatenanti series of events. I myself, disappointed and saddened by the criticism above, towards the end I found a little 'involved in what, however, is the most classic of science fiction towels. In fact the enemy is to fight an alien race that gets rid of the planets through the use of so-called red matter, with which they can generate some real holes blacks (those who know the saga will surely understand that I am speaking of the Romulans).
As for the cast anything to say about the skill of the actors but do not have quite the charisma to hold a candle to the glories of the past. This is evident in one of the final sequences where there is a face face between the new (Zachary Quinto) and old (Leonard Nimoy) Spock. Despite years of gap between the two players the difference is abysmal. Overtime, however, Karl Urban (The Chronicles of Riddick) as a credibilissimo McCoy and just passable the almost cameo by Simon Pegg (Dawn of the Dead, Hot Fuzz), an actor who deserves more roles well and quite another matter. Other appearances to signal that spread like Winona Ryder in the role of Spock's mother and Jennifer Morrison (Dr. Cameron House) who plays one of Kirk.
In conclusion this free personal vision of the universe trekkie Abrams (need arises almost made him die of Star Wars, of which J.J. è dichiaratamente nerd) non è malvagia. Il film in tutta la sua durata (due ore belle piene) si lascia guardare, merito soprattutto della realizzazione patinata, ma che lascerà certamente con l’amaro in bocca colui che si aspettava una riproposizione basata sugli standard dettati 40 anni orsono.
Certo è che se fosse uscito con un altro titolo sarebbe stato meglio. Crisi d’identità.
Scena Memorabile: sicuramente la maggior parte delle scene d’azione, in primis quella sulla piattaforma. Spettacolare.
