The newest incarnation of the Star Trek movie franchise, Star Trek, premiered May 8, 2009. It presented the classic characters from the original 1960s series but with new faces. Chris Pine as Capt. Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, and Karl Urban as Dr. McCoy. It was the film debut of Chris Hemsworth as George Kirk. Leonard Nimoy appears as Spock.
I thought it was a gutsy move, breaking away from the Star Trek universe most of us grew up with but it did introduce Star Trek to a new generation of fans.
It garnered many positive reviews (I even liked it!) and even won an Oscar for Best Makeup, the first Star Trek movie to receive an Academy Award.
