Summary:
On the day of James Kirk's birth, his father dies on his ship in a last stand against a mysterious alien time-traveling vessel looking for Ambassador Spock, who, in this time, is also a child on Vulcan disdained by his neighbors for his half-human heritage. Twenty-five years later, Kirk has grown into a young troublemaker. Challenged by Captain Christopher Pike to realize his potential in Starfleet, he comes to annoy instructors like young Commander Spock. Suddenly, there is an emergency at Vulcan and the newly commissioned USS Enterprise is crewed with promising cadets like Nyota Uhura, Hikaru Sulu, Pavel Chekov and even Kirk himself, thanks to Leonard McCoy's medical trickery. Together, this crew will have an adventure in the final frontier where the old legend is altered forever as a new version of it begins.

Personal Ratings: 3
I totally did not know what this movie was about when I went to watch it.
I really like the way they make each character unique, and yet crucial to the movie. Though I don't really like science fiction movies, I actually found that this movie was quite nice and more towards the realistic side. I really like how they create random creatures that are not humans and make them have a special intelligence for a certain aspect in the show. The story line itself is really nice and interesting. A lot of suspense build up since the beginning of the show. A combination of action, seriousness, and comedy.
What I was kind of disappointed about this show was the fact that they did not make full use of the fact that the show is sci-fi, and not really think out of the box. But I do like some of the unique ideas. Really thought that the front part of the show was way too long even though it was not that crucial to the show, but only for the emotions part. I also find that they totally did not tell us what planet were they actually on, because it does not seem like they were on earth. I actually did not expect the double twist in the show. (but was sort of sad that the super human dude, forgot his name, ended up being a bad guy.)
