Star Trek @

J.J. Abrams’s reboot of the Star Trek franchise centers around the early days of the crew of the Enterprise. When Earth is threatened by an irate Romulan, Kirk and Spock find they are the only ones who can save all of mankind (and some other species too). This latest Trek film is a lens-flare-filled–action-packed–thrill-ride.
