Star Trek may wop the Wolf - It's a suck-your-face-back trip

WIRED: Together, they’ve crafted a 21st-century Star Trek every bit as sleek and shiny as the new Enterprise itself. Alternating thunderous battle scenes with quiet bits of equally consequential matters of the heart, Abrams serves moviegoers a wry, wise jolt of intergalactic adrenalin to go with that jumbo bucket of summertime popcorn thrills.

SHOOT: Wired gives Star Trek 9/10. This might be the kickass movie of the year. Wolverine was good - Trek may wop the Wolf.

clipped from www.wired.com The new Star Trek movie races through a suck-your-face-back wind tunnel of time travel, ego clashes, black holes, hot Orion girls and deep, dark villainy as director J.J. Abrams launches the next generation of Starfleet adventures. This expertly paced prequel hurls a crew of younger, faster Trek heroes against a stunning backdrop of spectacular outer-space shots. Framing the adventure as an origin tale predating Gene Roddenberry’s original Star Trek television series from the ’60s, screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (TV’s Fringe) trace the career trajectory of a cocky Iowa farmboy named James Tiberius Kirk who bests his hyper-rational rival, Spock, thereby earning the right to command the U.S.S. Enterprise. As Kirk, 28-year-old actor Chris Pine bursts with coltish energy, drinking deeply from the Han Solo well to inform his portrait of the captain as a young roustabout.
