From filmstalker, JJ Abrams‘ new Star Trek probably deserves that funny ‘reboot’ label more than any of the other films so far stamped with it, actually seeming to have been conceived from that very concept outwards. I truly wouldn’t be surprised to find out that the picture’s central plot device was born in discussions of how to restart and repeat the franchise once more, how to deliver a new series essentially the same as the old one but also crucially, and marketability, different. In essence, this film’s story is a marketing solution.
…But the mechanism they’ve cooked up is still certainly a fun one and I’m about to get stuck into discussing it in a bit more depth - which you might, personally, consider to be a journey into spoiler country. There are likely to be a number of small-ish spoilers throughout this review, so I know many of you will be happier not reading on - until, at least, you’ve caught up with the movie yourself.
For the rest of us, however, there’s certainly a lot to be talking about.
