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(Eric Bana) whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James T. Kirk (Chris Pine), is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy.

The other, Spock (Zachary Quinto), 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!

This new Star Trek is fast-moving, funny, exciting warp-speed entertainment and, heaven help me, even quite moving – the kind of film that shows that, like it or not, commercial cinema can still deliver a sledgehammer punch. – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

In the pop high it delivers, this is the greatest prequel ever made. – Ty Burr, Boston Globe
