''Star Trek'' is a 2009 American science fiction adventure film directed by J. J. Abrams, written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman and distributed by Paramount Pictures. It is the 11th film of the ''Star Trek'' film franchise and is also a reboot that features the main characters of the original ''Star Trek'' television series, portrayed by a new cast and the first in the reboot series. The film follows James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto) aboard the USS ''Enterprise'' as they combat Nero (Eric Bana), a Romulan from their future who threatens the United Federation of Planets. The story takes place in an alternate reality〔〔 because of time travel by both Nero and the original Spock (Leonard Nimoy). The alternate timeline was created in an attempt to free the film and the franchise from established continuity constraints while simultaneously preserving original story elements. Development for ''Star Trek'' originated in 1968, when creator Gene Roddenberry announced plans to produce a prequel modeled after the television series. The concept resurfaced temporarily in the late 1980s, when it was postulated by Harve Bennett as a possible plotline for the movie that would become ''Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country'', but was rejected in lieu of other projects by Roddenberry. Following the critical and commercial failure of ''Star Trek: Nemesis'' and the cancellation of the television series ''Star Trek: Enterprise'', franchise executive producer Rick Berman and screenwriter Erik Jendresen wrote an unproduced film, titled ''Star Trek: The Beginning'', which would take place after ''Enterprise''. After the separation between Viacom and CBS Corporation, former Paramount president Gail Berman convinced CBS to produce a feature film. Orci and Kurtzman, both fans of the ''Star Trek'' series, were approached to write the film and Abrams was approached to direct it. Kurtzman and Orci used inspiration from novels and graduate school dissertations as well as the series itself. Principal photography commenced on November 7, 2007 and ended on March 27, 2008. The film was shot in various locations around California and Utah. Abrams wanted to avoid using bluescreen and greenscreen, opting to use sets and locations instead. Heavy secrecy surrounded the film's production and was under the fake working title ''Corporate Headquarters''. Industrial Light & Magic used digital ships for the film, as opposed to the previous films in the franchise. Production for the film concluded by the end of 2008. ''Star Trek'' was heavily promoted the months preceding its release; pre-release screenings for the film premiered in select cities around the world including Austin, Texas; Sydney, Australia; and Calgary, Alberta. It was released in the United States and Canada on May 8, 2009, to positive reviews. Critics praised the character development as well as the storyline in the film. ''Star Trek'' became a box office success, grossing over $385.7 million worldwide. It was nominated for several awards, including four Academy Awards at the 82nd Academy Awards, ultimately winning in the category for Best Makeup, making it the first ''Star Trek'' film to win an Academy Award. The DVD and Blu-ray for the film were released on November 17, 2009. Following the success of the film, its cast members signed on for two sequels, making ''Star Trek'' the first of a planned trilogy. A sequel, ''Star Trek Into Darkness'', was released on May 16, 2013 with Abrams returning as director and Orci and Kurtzman returning as screenwriters (with the addition of ''Star Trek'' producer Damon Lindelof as screenwriter). A second sequel, ''Star Trek Beyond'', is scheduled to be released on July 22, 2016.〔http://www.slashfilm.com/star-trek-3-title-star-trek-beyond/〕 ==Plot== In the 23rd century, the Federation starship USS ''Kelvin'' is investigating a "lightning storm" in space. A Romulan ship, the ''Narada'', emerges from the storm and attacks the ''Kelvin''. ''Narada''s first officer, Ayel, demands that the ''Kelvin''s Captain Robau come aboard to negotiate a truce. Once aboard, Robau is questioned about the current stardate and an "Ambassador Spock", whom he professes not to know. ''Narada''s commander, Nero, kills him, and continues his attack on the ''Kelvin''. George Kirk, the ''Kelvin''s first officer, orders the ship's personnel, including his pregnant wife Winona, to evacuate the ship while he pilots the ''Kelvin'' on a collision course with the ''Narada'', as the auto-pilot function has been damaged. At the cost of his life, Kirk ensures Winona's survival as she gives birth to James T. Kirk. Seventeen years later, on the planet Vulcan, a young Spock is accepted to join the Vulcan Science Academy. Realizing that the Academy views his human mother Amanda Grayson as a "disadvantage", he decides to join Starfleet instead. On Earth, Kirk becomes a reckless but intelligent young adult. By 2255, after a bar fight with Starfleet cadets accompanying Nyota Uhura, Kirk meets Captain Christopher Pike who encourages him to enlist in Starfleet Academy where Kirk meets and befriends the cynical doctor Leonard McCoy. Three years later, Commander Spock accuses Kirk of cheating during his ''Kobayashi Maru'' simulation. Kirk argues that cheating was acceptable in this context because the simulation had been designed to be unbeatable. The disciplinary hearing is interrupted by a distress signal from Vulcan. With the primary fleet out of range, the cadets are mobilized. McCoy and Kirk board Pike's ship, the ''Enterprise''. Realizing that the "lightning storm" being observed on Vulcan is similar to the one that occurred at the time of his birth, Kirk breaks protocol to convince Pike that the distress signal is a trap. ''Enterprise'' arrives at Vulcan to find the fleet destroyed and the ''Narada'' drilling into Vulcan's core. The ''Narada'' attacks the ''Enterprise'' and Pike surrenders, delegating command of the ship to Spock and promoting Kirk to first officer. Kirk, Hikaru Sulu and Chief Engineer Olson perform a space jump onto the drilling platform. Olson is killed but Kirk and Sulu disable the drill. Despite their efforts, Nero launches "red matter" into the core, forming an artificial black hole that destroys the planet. Spock rescues the Vulcan high council and his father Sarek, though his mother dies. As the ''Narada'' moves toward Earth, Nero tortures Pike to gain access to Earth's defense codes. Spock maroons Kirk on Delta Vega after attempting mutiny. Kirk encounters an older Spock, who explains that he and Nero are from 129 years in the future. In that future, Romulus was threatened by a supernova. Spock's attempt to use "red matter" to create an artificial black hole and consume the supernova was too late, and Nero's family perished along with the planet. ''Narada'' and Spock's vessel were caught in the black hole, sending them back in time. Nero stranded Spock on Delta Vega to watch Vulcan's destruction as revenge for failing to save Romulus. Reaching a Starfleet outpost, Kirk and the elder Spock meet Montgomery Scott. With the elder Spock's help, Kirk and Scott beam onto the ''Enterprise''. Following the elder Spock's advice, Kirk provokes younger Spock into attacking him, forcing Spock to recognize that he is emotionally compromised and relinquish command to Kirk. After talking with Sarek, Spock decides to help Kirk. While the ''Enterprise'' hides itself within the gas clouds of Titan, Kirk and Spock beam aboard the ''Narada''. Kirk fights with Nero and Ayel, killing the latter and rescuing Pike while Spock uses the elder Spock's ship to destroy the drill. Spock leads the ''Narada'' away from Earth and sets his ship to collide with Nero's ship. ''Enterprise'' arrives and beams Kirk, Pike, and Spock aboard. The older Spock's ship and the ''Narada'' collide, igniting the "red matter". Kirk offers Nero help to escape, but Nero refuses, prompting Kirk to give the order to fire, dooming Nero and the ''Narada'' to be consumed in a black hole. On Earth, Kirk is promoted to the rank of Captain and given command of the ''Enterprise'' while Pike is promoted to Rear Admiral. Spock encounters his older self. Having selected a planet for the surviving Vulcans to colonize, the older Spock persuades his younger self to continue serving in Starfleet, encouraging him to do what feels right instead of what is logical. Spock remains in Starfleet and becomes first officer under Kirk's command. The ''Enterprise'' goes to warp as the elder Spock speaks the "where no one has gone before" monologue in voice-over. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Star Trek (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
