Star Trek 2009: Coming to your local galaxy

Science - Space



According to MRQE, the synopsis of the movie states, “The greatest adventure of all time begins with "Star Trek," the incredible story of a young crew's maiden voyage onboard the most advanced starship ever created: the U.S.S. Enterprise."

"On a journey filled with action, comedy and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James T. Kirk, is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock, was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion."

"As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before!”


Wikipedia.com also has a very comprehensive summary of the film at “Star Trek (film).”

The film is dedicated to the creator of Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry, and his wife Majel Barrett (Star Trek nurse “Christine Chapel”).

Barrett is the voice of the Star Trek computer in the new movie, a role she completed only two weeks before her death on December 18, 2008.

I heard they are giving away free tribbles for the first one hundred thousand movie-goers to Star Trek 2009 ... but that could just be a rumor being spread by Cyrano Jones.
