Star Trek




WSJ article: Hollywood Starts Over

For you Trekkers out there, here's another article about the new movie.

I think the movie and acting looks very well done but the exerpt below from the article concerns me a little bit for continuity.

Through a plot device involving time travel, "Star Trek" wipes clean the history of the franchise to create an alternative universe which re-imagines the early life of Kirk (played by Chris Pine) and his time at Starfleet Academy, where he encounters Spock (Zachary Quinto of TV's "Heroes"), and later sets off on the Enterprise. By going back in time, the film effectively changes the course of "Trek" history, so anything can happen.

I thought one of the early critiques of the movie below was funny.

Fans didn't like how parts of the Enterprise looked in early screen shots, he adds, and many thought the bridge resembled the inside of an Apple store.
