A bold new version of people "boldly going," "Star Trek" does for Gene Roddenberry's classic franchise what "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" failed to do for the mutants: give fans a respectful, entertaining look at the origins of iconic characters. As you no doubt know by now, the plot follows the original Enterprise crew (we're talking Kirk and Spock, not Captain Archer, though Scott Bakula's character is referenced in the film) at their genesis, kicking off with a magnificent prologue that sees the birth of James Kirk (Chris Pine) on board a starship under attack by a mysterious Romulan vessel, his father at the helm of the ship.
