Star Trek consists of 11 TV shows and 13 movies totaling over 837 hours of programming. And more is still to come.

As someone born in the 60’s and surrounded by Star Trek all of my life I find it hard to believe someone hasn’t seen something in the series before 😂 This movie is actually my favorite out of the Trekkie universe but I hope you watch more 🤩 Not sure how far back you want to explore this universe but the original series had 79 episodes beginning in 1966. The central characters were Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura, Scott, Chekov and Sulu. There are a series of movies around this original series. Patrick Stewart was the captain in the Star Trek Next Generation series. Leonard Nimoy who played future Spock in this movie was the Spock actor from the original series. There is so much more to this universe…you’ll have decide where to go with it but since you started with this movie, you might as well finish this trilogy…it’s pretty entertaining 😊 Just a couple of things to know about Star Trek original series… (1) Kirk is a playboy through and through 😂 (2) if there is a character you don’t know on the “away team” (who are leaving the ship to go on a mission) they will probably die 😂 Have fun 🤩

Oh hey! This is a GOOD one. The cast for this was stellar. You didn't watch the original, but the cast in this personifies the original cast in such an accurate way. Bones is dead on, as is Spock.

So... Star Trek is huge. It originated as a TV series in the 1960s, with an original pilot episode that was rejected in 1964, which was then retooled, and a second pilot made. The show ran from 1966 to 1969, totalling 79 episodes. It basically kicked of modern fan culture as we know it. Fanfiction, fan publications, conventions, letter-writing campaigns to keep it on the air... Star Trek is where a lot of that began, and that kept it alive while it was off the air. Attempts were made in the 1970s to revive the show with a short-lived animated series, and later a sequel series, and after the success of Star Wars (which itself had capitalised on an audience hungry for more sci-fi after Star Trek's original run and syndicated reruns), those plans were reworked into a movie: 1979's _Star Trek: The Motion Picture_. It did well enough to justify further movies, with six in total depicting the further adventures of the original cast: Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and the other crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise. In 1987, while the movies were in full swing, a sequel series also came into existence: _Star Trek: The Next Generation_. Set a hundred years after the original, it featured a new crew, led by Jean-Luc Picard (played by Sir Patrick Stewart) aboard a new Enterprise. That show lasted seven seasons, with its own spin-offs and followed by its own movies: _Star Trek: Deep Space Nine_ and _Star Trek: Voyager_ told other stories with their own ships and crews in that same era. There were also four movies with the Next Generation cast. Then, a prequel series called _Star Trek: Enterprise_, set aboard an earlier ship long before Kirk and Spock. That lasted four seasons. Then, a bit of a drought. The 2009 movie-a sort-of reboot set in an alternate timeline-spawned two sequels, _Star Trek Into Darkness_ and _Star Trek Beyond_. Since then, the franchise has been revitalised. A new show, _Star Trek: Discovery_ arrived in 2017, to the same kind of controversy any new entry in an established franchise does. It succeeded enough to be followed by _Star Trek: Picard_, the animated comedy _Star Trek: Lower Decks_, the kid-targeted _Star Trek: Prodigy_, and the nostalgia-driven _Star Trek: Strange New Worlds_, with more in the works. There are more than 800 hours of Star Trek content, just counting TV and movies.

Karl Urban kinda altered his voice to sound like the character from the TV Series.

I'm sure others have already said, but the Star Trek "universe" is absolutely huge. It began as a TV show in the 60s, which is commonly known as Star Trek: The Original Series, which ran for three seasons. This is what this movie is based on, with the characters Kirk, Spock etc. (albeit in a different alternate timeline) aboard the starship USS Enterprise. Then in the 80s, it was "rebooted" with a new series called Star Trek: The Next Generation, which is set in the same universe as the Original Series, but roughly 100 years later. So a new crew with Patrick Stewart playing Captain Picard, and aboard a new version of the ship, the USS Enterprise-D (there was an A, B, and C between the Original Series and The Next Generation). This series ran for seven seasons. Then there's another series called Star Trek: Deep Space Nine which launched in the 90s while The Next Generation was still airing and ran parallel to it. Again, set in the same universe, but this time aboard a space station called Deep Space Nine, with a whole new crew. This also ran for seven seasons. Then there's another series called Star Trek: Voyager which launched in the 90s while Deep Space Nine was still airing, and again was on a new ship called the USS Voyager, a new crew, and ran for seven seasons. The final Star Trek series of this particular "universe" of Star Trek was called Star Trek: Enterprise, which launched in 2001 and ran for four seasons. This was a prequel to everything, set 100 years before the Original Series. There were also ten movies made during this whole period, most featuring the crew of the Original Series, and the last few were the crew of The Next Generation. This is the history of what is commonly known as "Classic Trek". In recent years, there has been a resurgence of new Star Trek stuff, beginning in 2009 with this movie you just watched. There are another two movies, and many new TV shows. Some are good and well received by fans, others not so good. Anyway, the Star Trek universe is unlike anything else, there are also books, video games and more. It's pretty damn cool!

My dad was a hard core Trekkie & got me into the universe early. And I loved this movie, the alternate timeline gives them some flexibility in story and the cast was absolutely killer.

Star Trek came out before Star Wars as the original series was in the 60s

The time travel aspect of this movie is what made a reboot with the original character’s possible. Because of the altered timeline, they don’t have to avid by any of the original series timelines or stories. They can experience the same villain but in a different scenario or make a different decision than the original series.

I grew up on the original Star Trek and I love this movie. It’s so well done, it feels real. Especially the scene on the drill.

As someone raised on Trek in the 90’s, but thoroughly enjoy most versions of the modern stuff today, thank you for trying it. Star Trek has such rich lore and world building…there is history on almost every species, every war, every civilization. It is cherished by millions of people. Please react to more. Gene Roddenberry was the original creator of Star Trek

Fun trivia: The guy with the 'clip board' when Kirk/Scotty are trying to get on the Enterprise is Paul McGillion, who is Scottish by birth but of Canadian nationality. By co-incidence, James Doohan was also Canadian. McGillion played the Scottish doctor Carson Beckett in Stargate Atlantis and expressed an interest in being Scotty in the 2009 movie but lost to Simon Pegg. He does get a cameo though.

This is an AWESOME movie to invite you into the universe!!! Watch these 3 new ones to have continuity on these stories then you can go back. You will absolutely love it!!

"His voice changed A LOT in the past ten years..." Um, he....he's doing an American accent here. :)

I pronounced it that way for years, but I've since learned that Michael Giacchino is pronounced Juh-KEY-no.

"I would rather suffer the end of Romulus a thousand times." I need to start using this in everyday life

Love this Trilogy❤ RIP Anton Yelchin😢

Everytime an Away-Team departs, one unknown "Ensign" always bites the dust! This time on the Romulan drill, it was Olsen's turn!!

The original series has a SOLID fanbase. They even began doing Conventions for it. It was a tv series for 3 years, and fans were so into it that they began doing those for it. After the success of Star Wars in 1977, they went back in and began doing it only in movie form. in the 80's. J.J. Abrams did justice to the whole thing. You need to see the original to get to really get to know the characters.

Ohhh~ the Star Trek universe is great. So many great shows and movies. Heck, any Star - is pretty good. Star Trek, Stargate, Star Wars. And I loved these movies.

As many commenters have mentioned, the Star Trek universe is VERY deep. You should re-watch this after catching a few of the episodes of the original series (from the late 60s). As wonderful as this movie is, there is so much character interplay that is based off the original crew that you cant notice if you haven't seen the original series - for instance, you mentioned Karl Urban's voice. He patterned his voice after the character of McCoy in the original series, which is why it seems different. This movie is an AMAZING homage to the original series as well as being a good launch point for new trekkies to get into the series AS WELL AS a pretty interesting reboot/alternate reality from the original series. The original series and the first 6 movies all deal with this crew with the same actors playing the same role. Yes, Old Spock in this one is Leonard Nimoy, who played Spock in the original series. The Next Generation series (with Patrick Stewart) was made in the mid 80s, and has a completely different crew, but is set in the same universe several decades in the future from TOS. Both of these series and the movies have gong a long way into providing us the lore of this universe that is so deep. And they are still making content. Glad to see you are on board.

13 movies and nearly 60 years of TV shows, movies, and hundreds of novels. It's a unique franchise and the best of Star Trek is quite philosophical. There are several Star Trek series and they are extremely enjoyable and very much worth watching them all.

In case you're confused about Vulcans and Romulans. Centuries ago, Vulcans fought each uther in a brutal civil war that went nuclear. One Vuclan, Surak, then came up with the philosophy of logic uniting his people (like a Vulcan equivalent of Socrates) but one faction didn't follow this philosophy and abandoned the planet Vulcan to found their own empire thus becoming the Romulans.

The guy who said he had combat training in fencing (actor John Cho) was one of the main characters in Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle, a stoner comedy from 2004. I thought having Zachary Quinto play Spock was great casting.

My cat gallops like that snow monster.

the guy who played Spock also voices Rudy on Invincible

The original Star Trek TV series preceded Star Wars by at least a decade! They were already working on making a comeback series when SW dropped... then the studio decided on a film, instead. The cast were already cultural icons by the time the movie came out. If you see only the movies, you will miss out on the very best of what Trek has to offer, because the genius is in the details, and in movies, there's no time for that.

Oh man, thanks for doing this one. This series of Star Trek movies are my favorite of all versions. Hopefully you enjoy it and want to do the next two. I grew up watching Star Trek reruns in the 70’s with my dad. Huge fan.

This new movie series was designed to attract new people to find out about Star Trek. However, you miss about 15% of the story that was from the story line of the original shows and early movies. By not knowing the characters for who they are and their stories of being together.

One comment about chronology, this film (my personal introduction to Star Trek) starts the “Kelvin Timeline” films, and the majority of this film takes place in the year 2258. The Original Series on TV took place in the “Prime Timeline” from 2266-2269, and the Original Series Movies (1 through 6) take place from 2273 to 2293. Patrick Stewart’s ensemble cast inaugurated a new show, the Next Generation, and its associated movies (7 through 10) which take place from 2364 to 2379. Newer content (namely Picard Season 3) have pushed the show into the very early 2400s. TL:DR, lots of time covered in the future

I have loved Star Trek for so long. These movies were amazing when I saw them in theaters. I'd love to see them again in theaters. lol Hearing the "Space, the final fronteir" speech at the end gave me goosebumps. I just love Star Trek so much.

stark treks budget says about 150m and made 385m, star trek into darkness was a 190 budget and made 467m, great movies, great visual effects for 2009

Star Trek started as a TV series with the original series in 1966, but the original pilot was in 1964, which was rejected by the studio for being too cerebral, so they greenlit a second pilot which aired in 1966.

Originally a TV Series. Fun fact. Gene Roddenberry may be the father of Star Trek but the mother who actually made it possible was Lucille Ball, if you ever heard of or seen I Love Lucy you know who that is then. The original Star Trek Pilot was passed on but Lucille used her production company and her own money to help them make another Pilot and get brought to air.

Born '62, ST fan. I thought this movie was great. It did an exceptional job introducing the characters. I think I'm dreaming, you don't know what Vulcans are.

10:55 Not officially. Starfleet is all about exploration but in times of crisis it effectively functions as the military of the United Federation of Planets. And that duality is a topic of huge debate in the fandom and also addressed in the TV shows and movies (the phrase "Do you remember when we used to be explorers?" sometimes comes up in episodes or films dealing with such a crisis).

The extra who says, "Captain, we have visual" at the start of the film was professor and Star Trek fan Randy Pausch. He was a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon. In 2007, he gave a lecture titled "The Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams." The video went viral and he co-authored a book on it. The video is absolutely worth watching. Randy passed away in 2008, a few months after filming his cameo.

The best way to distinguish Star Trek from Star Wars is as follows: Star Trek is science-fiction, it's based on scientific concepts that have their basis in actual science. Star Wars is science-fantasy, it's based on fantastical impracticality (ship designs for instance) and mysticism/magic. Both are entertaining and should not actually be compared precisely because they are quite different in concept, canon and execution of stories. Simply put, both can be enjoyed without having to slam one or the other as many fanboys do.

I saw this movie too without watching any other previous Star Trek media and hot damn I love it so much, i watched this movie in the cinema twice!

The original series lasted for 79 episodes, then were followed up by the first 6 movies. After this, Star Trek: The Next Generation premiered in the early 80s, and is set 78 years after the original series. This film utilizes Leonard Nimoy's Spock to create an alternate reality / timeline for the 2009 movie, essentially an in-continuity reboot is the best way to explain it. There were other shows, Deep Space Nine and Voyager set in the 24th Century, essentially alongside The Next Generation then the 4 Next Generation movies. You end up with a pretty cohesive shared multiverse (before Marvel did it) with characters and lore built up over time. The best place to start would be the original series, then the first six movies. From there, you have 7 years worth of TNG to explore if you wish before the Next Gen movies with Patrick Stewart et al. Don't be intimidated by it all, just enjoy what you want to see.

So cool seeing someone watch star trek with no prior experience of it. I've seen all trek TV and movies and love the 3 Kelvin timeline movies. Hope you watch the other 2 would be cool to see your reaction to them too.

Abrams' Star Wars movies are so fun imo. I love The Force Awakens and The Rise of Skywalker.

I watched this in theaters four times and it was a gift from my mom for Christmas. Loved this movie, enjoyed the sequel, and thought the third was interesting.

The first _Trek_ movie was on the slow side. The others are worth watching (some are ok, some are VERY good). This was great, and such a clever way to reboot the story with a younger cast. _First_ _Contact_ is probably my personal favorite, followed closely by this one.

I had been a deeply loving Star Trek fan since early 1987. When this was released, I enjoyed the fact they kept the characters and the spirit of the original franchise. However, I speak for a lot of original fans by saying that this movie was not as philosophically and emotionally complex as the originals.

In 1987 they did a follow up series Called Star Trek: The Next Generation which took place many years after the original show and they had a new ship and an entirely a different cast. Patrick Stewart was the Captain of that ship.

Thank you SO much for doing this. First time watching one of your reactions. You have a new subscriber solely on THIS reaction. TOS (The Original Series) was my 1 live-action fandom. I became a fan from a literal 5-second look at Spock while passing by a room with a kid watching one of the reruns on after school when I was 7 years old. My very 1st movie going to alone was Star Trek 2 The Wrath Of Kahn. As I'm sure you can guess I grew up a rabid fan 🤣.I SOOO love seeing new people discover Star Trek. I hope you fall completely down the Trek rabbit hole. Leonard Nimoy (original Spock) appearing in this one just solidified my love for it in 2009 playing Spock Prime in this one. Some fans were against this "reboot" we call the Kelvian universe to easily tell TOS from these ones. If you do go through the Kelvian universe then head through TOS you are in for one GREAT ride. I hope you enjoy it.

15:15 When Bones says that he likes Spock, it was absolutely hilarious to old fans as Bones NEVER liked Spock. There was just not a lot of understanding between the two.

This Star Trek isn't at all what Star Trek is supposed to be. But it is a phenomenal movie to bring new fans into the universe. I sincerely hope you'll watch Star Trek from the 90's on your own time. Or maybe you could launch into the newer Star Trek Strange New Worlds and even react to it here on your channel. (I don't think old trek ever does anything for reaction channels. And Paramount is ridiculous overbearing for creators reacting to the star Trek shows...)

Welcome to the Star Trek community, glad you've enjoyed the movie! The reception by the general public was very positive, that by Star Trek fans, shall we say, less so. Some learned to still enjoy it, some to this day say that "this is not real Star Trek". The movie was nominated for an Oscar for special effects; unfortunately, it came out the same year as Avatar, so duh. It did get the Oscar for best make-up though. As for the older movies, the usual recommendation which I share is to start with 2, 3 and 4 in a row.

I generally agree with all the comments about how big and culturally significant Star Trek is. It's been around for nearly 60 years. However, I want to point out something that no one else has mentioned, and that is about the impact Star Trek has had on people's beliefs and values. A few years ago I decided to read some "vintage" science fiction stories from the early 20th century (e.g., John Carter of Mars, Buck Rogers, E. E. "Doc" Smith's "Lensman" series) which were hugely influential on Star Trek and Star Wars. Although these old stories are interesting and have various merits, I was shocked and appalled at how BRUTAL they were. The "good guys" (who were often sexist and racist) were completely unforgiving, and perceived the bad guys as irredeemable, and would just slaughter them without hesitation or mercy. War was glorified. There were hardly ever any efforts at diplomacy, no attempts at negotiation or trying to understand "the other." The "good guys" had no desire to find a peaceful resolution--the bad guys were just an enemy to be wiped out. I think most contemporary audiences would be similarly shocked and surprised by the casual and excessive violence of the "good guys" and how it didn't even seem to occur to them to try to find a peaceful resolution. But why do we expect anything different? Why do we expect the good guys to be able and willing to fight, but only after an attempt at diplomacy? If a fight does break out, why do we expect them to be willing to call it off and open negotiations? Why do we expect them to be merciful whenever possible? Why do we expect them to offer aid to a defeated opponent, to rescue the crew of an enemy ship that's about to be destroyed? Why do we expect them to grieve whenever they are forced to take a life? Why do we expect them to try to find a better way than violence and war to deal with conflict? That's the legacy of Star Trek.

Great reaction😊❤ Every Star Trek movies has its magic in the franchise. This trilogy set is a great reboot.😊

This is not a remake it is chronologically the 11th movie, especially for into darkness you should watch the previous ones. If you wanna make Star Trek fans happy, check out Popcorn in Bed and how she reacts to the franchise. She's doing it the most perfect way

Greetings all! Viewed this film at the theatre, 2nd evening opening, straight from work. Enjoyable indeed.

28:58 Nope, you're right. that's Leonard Nimoy who played Spock during the original TV series in the 60s.

I was working as a projectionist at a cinema when this came out. We had an early surprise release of one of the summer blockbuster’s (either Terminator 4, Star Trek and I don’t remember the other). I was on shift when it arrived and I had to rehearse (watch) whatever movie it was to check all okay. I SOO wanted it to be T4 (I’m a huge Terminator fan). When it turned out to be Star Trek I was SO disappointed as I wasn’t a fan of Trek at all. I cranked up the volume and sat in the cinema on my own (was a great job) and watched this movie. When it finished, all the other workers were asking me which movie it was. I couldn’t tell them, but said how friggin AWESOME it was. It completely took me by surprise, I absolutely loved it! I’m now a big fan of these new Trek movies (loved the 2nd and 3rd too). Can’t wait for part 4 (if it ever happens). Glad you also enjoyed it!

A lot of people have said it in the comment, I just want to say it again, Star Trek predates Star Wars and George Lucas had said himself Star Trek was one of the things that influence Star Wars. I have nothing against Star wars, I watch everything Star Wars too but Star Trek fits me better. Trek leans towards exploration and philosophy and I enjoy those things more than "space opera"

I always find it interesting that people always start with these movies...

I knew young Spock from Heroes. I also.grew up with Star Trek, saw all the movies when they came out. Star Trek Next Generation was my favorite of the TV series, and the movies from that were awesome. I LOVED when Abrams took these on, definitely do the other 2. ✌

I've been a fan of Trek ever since the 60's show....I frikkin love this movie! 😎

I really like this and into darkness. Graphics great. I always cry at the opening. Music is bangin. And they stick with the Easter eggs like Kobayashi Maru and the red shirt running gag. (When an extra goes on an away mission, if they where red, they die)

Fun movie! There are a lot of Easter eggs from the classic TV show. Very fun and campy in its time.

As someone who grew up watching the OG I was initially worried but even though it’s a bit different from the show I still loved the first and second movies. And it brought more fans into the series my friends was one who started watching the show because of this movies. And having Prime Spock in the movie just made so much better

Other than JJ Abrams having zero idea about how space works, this was a great movie for *Star Trek* fans. It started as a series, but I'm not sure if there are more movies or series now. Plus book franchises for each series. And comics. It's a super deep rabbit hole with a devoted fanbase of the core mythology. When the original series was cancelled, it did so well in syndication and the fans were so loyal that *The Next Generation* series was eventually brought back from a letter campaign. That was a dream come true for many, and the franchise has expanded ever since, with mixed results, especially with the most recent series(es). But these movies, and the clever way to reintroduce the characters from the original series, seemed a great expansion to me. I love this series of movies, and I believe there was another one planned, before the writers' strike. Idk now.

The reason why so many aliens in Star Trek look human-lke (less so in these films because of a large budget) was the limited possibilities in the 60s plus a limited budget and the spinn-off shows like Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space 9 and so on stuck with that. This is why the Vulcans and the Romulans look humans aside from their eyebrows and ears (and their blood color).

I am happy to see a new prospective Trekker join the fam. It's good that you started with the modern version which clearly got you interested. By starting with this trilogy you'll be able to better appreciate the roughness (but greatness) of the original cast, and how Star Trek evolved over the decades. I do hope you'll consider a full movie run for Star Trek.....too few reactors go there. Primate, Popcorn in Bed...maybe a couple others but not alot. If I see you going that direction later you'll have a new long term Patron. 🙃

Great patreon request. This was fun! I hope you do the 2nd movie from 2013 - Star Trek Into Darkness. Same cast, but now with Benedict Cumberbatch. It's also really good.

JJ Abrams resurrected the Star Trek, Star Wars, and Mission Impossible franchises.

Great reaction!

Ferris Bueller is the first movie I can rememberhaving an after crest scene. And 1979 was the year of the first movie. The TV show predates Star Wars having started in 1966.

As a lifelong Trekkie, i enjoyed the new movies. I thought the casting was perfect. Just know that this is a different timeline then the original series. I don't know about now, but historically, there was a huge rivalry between Star Trek fans and Star Wars fans. I like them both, including the last trilogy.

Fun fact: the original Kirk and Uhura had the first interracial kiss on TV in the 60's.

I watched everything Star Trek related since the 70s. I love the Kelvin timeline (the new ones). Great cast, great action, great cinematography. I hope you will watch the other ones too. And TOS, and TNG, and DS9 and...ah forget it. Watch 'em all. :)

Kirk’s mother is who I really wanted to play captain marvel. She does strong female without being overbearing in once upon a time the series.

Its a show from the 1960s originally.

I started watching with Star Trek The Next Generation. Instant love ❤ but the Original was always on TV so I knew about the cast. I just couldn't get into the show cuz the technology was so outdated and campy. I've seen all the shows and movies and this one is my favorite out of the movies, followed by First Contact. 😂

Totally awesome movie! I loved the original series. We watched week to week back then. 😂

Definitely watch the 10 older movies dude once you finish this new trilogy - on the surface you might look and think they might be a bit dated but honestly most of them hold up and are still extremely entertaining. You can watch them without having seen the TV shows aswell, although obviously your experience will be enhanced a bit if you have seen them and are familiar with the characters. There are a few duds but that’s the same for all franchises. The Wrath of Khan is one of my favourite movies of all time so would be most excited to see a reaction to that.

You gotta check out the next instalments. Star Trek - Into Darkness 2013 Star Trek - Beyond 2016

I don't think Karl Urban sounds much different tho, he just happens to play a lot of roles with varied accents, so you rarely hear him speak his original one. Here he's doing some kind of neutral american vibe, but his usual is australian, and in boys he does some british dialect.

This film landed well with thr original trekies. Great film

Loved your reaction as always💗 You should check out society of the snow, i would love to hear what you have to say about that one

The original show was 1965 and the movie is true to the original characters. For fans like me recreating Kirk and all the other characters are based on the original.

Reading the subtitles say "gun firing" elicited the worst nerd rage in me.

This may be an unusual suggestion but I think you should watch in this order because they’re connected. The episode titled “Space Seed” from the original 1960’s series. Then the 1982 movie “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” which is actually a sequel to that episode. Then the second film in this trilogy “Star Trek: Into Darkness”.

I'm a star trek fan and i loved this movie

If you do want to watch the original Star Trek movies, feel free to start with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - the first is good, but not for everyone, and you don't need to see it to understand the 2nd movie.

Re-boot was amazing!! Back in the day (and still) there is a rift between Star Trek and Star Wars. I was always a Star trek fan. I like earth based sci fi, not fantasy sci fi.

You should watch one episode of the original Star Trek TV show, at least some clips. Just to appreciate the job casting did as well as the actors In portraying the originals. The two that stand out as being closest to the original characters are Bones and Spock. It’s truly uncanny. Urban even got the accent down. And Simon as Scottie was beautiful.

GREAT MOVIES, WELL DONE ON CASTING

The story of the "Live Long & Prosper" hand sign the Vulcan's use is interesting. Leonard Nimoy was of the Jewish faith. As a kid growing up he had been beat up a lot for being so. But when he was hired to play the part of Spock in the original television show, he went to the creator Gene Rodenberry and asked if he could integrate the hand sign into his character. With Rodenberry's blessing it went on to be apart of pop culture. According to the documentary that Nimoy's son did of his father it's actually comes from the Jewish faith. So in a sense that little kid who got beat up by the neighborhood bullies for being a Jew got back at them. Making apart of his faith apart of American culture. 🖖

STAR TREK 2009!!!!!! NEXT MONTH ON MAY 8, 2009, will be CELEBRATING 15 YEARS OLD!!!!!!

The score was done by Michael Giacchino

"It's gotta be a high budget" no it's only Star Trek lol. Can you imagine how great or not great an indie Star Trek would be?

Thank you!!! ❤, an Iowa Trekker

I don't know if the Utopia Plantitia shipyards existed in the 23rd century but building a full sized starship on Earth, in Iowa, is as dumb as building an aircraft carrier in Iowa.

70s kid here. Anybody else have a tribble?

I actually enjoyed all 3 of the new Star Trek movies. Some super fans of the show prob have their criticisms but this is fun ride.

Yes. There is so much of the Star Trek universe to watch from the original series in 1966 to the present TVs Star Trek Discovery 2024. So many movies so many TV spin offs.

Keep going with the Abrams series. His has done the best job of all of them, ok!?
