<h1>Initially appearing in 1966, the original "Star Trek" is a utopian fantasy of the first order, a vision

of the enlightened future in which whites, blacks, Asians and one poker-faced Vulcan are united

by their exploratory mission ("to boldly go"), a prime directive (no intervention) and the

occasional dust-up.</h1>

<h3>An original story directed with a sure touch and perfect tone by J. J. Abrams, the fully loaded

film - a showcase for big-studio hardware, software, muscled boys who can act and leggy girls

who aren't required to - turns back the narrative clock to the moment before the main characters

first assembled on the deck of the U.S.S. Enterprise, a sleek spacecraft that invariably sails

into intergalactic storms.

Zachary Quinto as Spock and Chris Pine as James T. Kirk in "Star Trek." </h3>

<p>Kirk and Spock don't meet in person until they're adults - now played by Chris Pine and Zachary

Quinto - at Starfleet Academy, which, in keeping with the show's liberal leanings, is in San

Francisco.

Mr. Quinto (bold and italic) lets you see and hear the struggle between the human and the

Vulcan in Spock through the emotions that ripple across his face and periodically throw off his

unmodulated phrasing.

<b><itl>Mr. Pine has the harder job (bold and italic) - he has to invoke Mr. Shatner's sui generis

performance while transcending its excesses - which makes his nuanced interpretation all the

more potent.</itl></b>

A bright, shiny blast from a newly imagined past, "Star Trek," the latest spinoff from the

influential television show, isn't just a pleasurable rethink of your geek uncle's favorite science-

fiction series. It's also a testament to television's power as mythmaker, as a source for some of

the fundamental stories we tell about ourselves, who we are and where we came from. The

famous captain (William Shatner, bless his loony lights) and creator (Gene Roddenberry, rest in

peace) may no longer be on board, but the spirit of adventure and embrace of rationality that

define the show are in full swing, as are the chicks in minis and kicky boots.

"Star Trek" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Some intense but bloodless action.
