Star Trek embarks on the maiden voyage of the newly commissioned USS Enterprise, the most sophisticated starship ever built crewed with promising Starfleet Academy cadets like Nyota Uhura (Zoe Saldana), Kiharu Sulu (John Cho), Pavel Checkov (Anton Yelchin) and even James T. Kirk (Chris Pine), thanks to Leonard McCoy’s (Karl Urban) medical trickery. Their path takes them on a collision course with Nero (Eric Bana), a Romulan commander from the future whose mission of vengeance threatens all mankind as he moves through the galaxy creating black holes to destroy the Federation one planet at a time. If humanity would survive, a rebellious young officer named James T. Kirk and a coolly logical Vulcan named Spock (Zachary Quinto) must move beyond their rivalry and find a way to defeat Nero before it is too late.
Movie Quotes
“James T. Kirk was considered to be a great man. He went on to captain the USS Enterprise… but that was another life. A life I will deprive you of just like I did your father!” – Captain Nero
“I’m giving it all she’s got Captain!” – Scotty
“Permission to speak freely, sir?” – Leonard ‘Bones’ McCoy
“I welcome it.” – Spock
“Do yo? OK, then. Are you out of your Vulcan mind? Are you making a logical choice, sending Kirk away? Probably. But, the right one? You know, back home we have a saying: If you’re gonna ride in the Kentucky Derby, you don’t leave your prize stallion in the stable.” – Leonard ‘Bones’ McCoy
“Your father was captain of the starship for twelve minutes… he saved eight hundred lives. Including yours. I dare you to do better.” – Captain Christopher Pike
