A most excellent Star Trek Chronicle.

Starfleet is made aware of a strange electrical storm, which turns out to be more than a storm. Oops, it's a trap, and George Kirk (Chris Hemsworth), acting captain for 12 minutes, must sacrifice himself to save his crew. On this day was born James Tiberius Kirk. Kirk, who leads a rambunctious childhood, must find and fulfill his destiny. He will unite with other characters with whom Trekkies can relate. For people new to the genre, the story itself is sustainable and does not require any previous knowledge of the story or the characters. This is a great addition to the Star Trek tradition. They left no stone unturned; all the major characters and the Gene Roddenberry feel are included. The CGI did not overwhelm the basic story. Parts may look like a power plant in Long Beach. Moreover, do we get Budweiser's name recognition? There will always be people who will either not watch this presentation or dismiss the story as growing up with the original TV or movies, and have no intention of rewriting the story in their minds. That is too bad, as they will miss out. I understand, as I cannot stand to watch anything past the first three Star Wars presentations. However, I suggest you give this presentation a chance, as you may find that it has all the same energy, philosophy, and dialogue that made the original. I've only seen the Blu-Ray version, so I cannot compare versions; however, the DVD was proud of itself being Blu-Ray, and we had to sit through several minutes of coming attractions. The extras include the obligatory commentary by J. J. Abrams, Brian Burke, Alex Kurtzman, Damon Lindelof, and Roberto Orci. There is also a BD-Live option. All the other extras can fill a review in themselves. Most of the added material is duplicated in other presentations, but it is interesting to look at the shooting locations.
