Star Trek - Movie Trailer
Star Trek - Official Synopsis
The greatest adventure of all time begins with Star Trek, the incredible story of a young crew’s maiden voyage onboard the most advanced starship ever created: the U.S.S. Enterprise. On a journey filled with action, comedy and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind.
The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James T. Kirk (Chris Pine), is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock (Zachary Quinto), was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before!
Star Trek - Is Star Trek for Kids?
The answer to the question "Is Star Trek for kids?" depends on your family movie standards and the age of your kids. We have a parent review of Star Trek available, so that parents can decide based on a more specific understanding of what is in the movie. Star Trek is rated PG-13 and contains violence and some sexual content, so it is obviously not geared toward young children. The marketing, however, is be a different story.
There is already a line of toys based on the new Star Trek movie, and movie toys are available in Burger King kids' meals. It is interesting to note that, according to Wikipedia, the first Happy Meal themed to promote a "family-oriented" movie was the "Star Trek Meal," promoting Star Trek: The Motion Picture in December 1979.
