I am always curious about the outer space, galaxy, star, black hole
etc. since my childhood. I spent a lot of time thinking about these things and
reading about them. The more I read the more I find juggling with questions in
my mind.... The thirst was unquenchable. In spite of possessing a keen interest
in the world beyond Earth, I never watched a single movie of Star Trek series or
even a single episode of the TV series, which has been entertaining people decades
since my father's childhood!
My introduction to Star Trek happened through a funny... in its literal
meaning. I felt attracted towards Star Trek since I started watching “The big
Bang Theory”. The craziness and emotions of Leonard, Sheldon, Raj and Holwitz
about Star Trek actually increased by interest on it.
My first Star Trek movie was its 11th part :P. I was watching
the movie on Sat Pix, and thanks for the extra info the channel shares, I came
to know that it was shot with a completely new cast. As I haven’t seen the
other 10 parts, so I really don’t really have anything to compare with. After
watching the whole movie, I am assuming that the new cast filled the big shoes
really well.
At first I found the story a little complicated as the concept of
alternate reality always goes beyond my reach. But as the movie progresses I
have started getting a hold over it. It is a prequel of other Star Trek movies
which shows the origins of Kirk and Spock as well as how the Enterprise crew
met all within an alternate timeline caused by Nero.
In this movie the relationship between Kirk and Spock didn't start in a friendly manner in the alternate reality
but later on with the interference of the older Spock coming from a different
timeline helped them becoming friends. This is a small part but this is the
only one I guess acted by one of the original Star Trek cast Legendary Leonard
Nimoy. The cute little Russian crew member added some fun part in the movie
with his horrible English accent (in one scene the space ship did not even
recognize his voice command!).
All the actions and special effects are worth seeing the movie. The
space battles, the creation of black hole, destruction of planets all seems
pretty original to me. I wish I could see that in the theatre instead of TV. That
would be definitely more entertaining for a science fiction fan like me.
