Star Trek (2009)
The future begins.
The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk, is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock, a Vulcan, 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. The human adventure has begun again.

What kind of watch this is
J.J. Abrams directs a 127-minute film. Chris Pine plays Cadet James T. Kirk, while Zachary Quinto plays Commander Spock. The film hinges on the friction between those two temperaments, with Leonard Nimoy appearing as Ambassador Spock. It is less a philosophical meditation on duty than a high-octane adventure that respects its source material just enough to feel familiar, yet bold enough to stand on its own two feet.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes reports a 94% Tomatometer score as of November 2022, based on 351 reviews. Metacritic assigns a Metascore of 82 out of 100, a number that signals universal acclaim. Ty Burr of the Boston Globe called the film "ridiculously satisfying," a verdict that seems to ignore the physical laws of warp drive. Dana Stevens of Slate described it as a gift to fans of the original series, which is a generous way to say it leans heavily on nostalgia. The consensus holds that the film reignites the franchise with action and humor. It works well enough to satisfy traditional Trekkies and new fans alike, a rare dual achievement for a reboot.
How it did with audiences
A $150 million budget yielded a worldwide gross of $386 million, with the United States accounting for $258 million of that total. Audiences on TMDB rate it 7.4 out of 10. IMDb users gave it a 7.9 out of 10 as of July 2021.
Awards
The film collected 6 awards from 28 nominations. It took home the Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, a win that made it the first Star Trek film to receive an Oscar. Barney Burman accepted the honor, which feels like a small, precise victory in a sea of nominations.
What came next for the cast
Chris Pine traded rom-coms for superhero blockbusters. Eric Bana moved from war epics to more war epics, just with different swords. Zachary Quinto stayed in the sci-fi lane, hopping from a TV mystery to a horror anthology. The credits do not say the film caused the shift. They only show where the paths diverged.
