Star Trek - 星際爭霸戰
Star Trek (星際爭霸戰) is a 2009 film. The film is a revamp of the original Starship Enterprise series.
The film itself in essence creates a new reality for the Star Trek franchise of James T. Kirk and Spock. Time travel is introduced and has thus created an alternate reality. Since I have watched a lot of the Kirk/Spock portions of Star Trek. I know the formula well.
As part of the crew, we have the lone Asian male in Sulu. And dude is a fencing maestro. Do not doubt.
I liked the film for the most part. Other than Sulu, there was a surprising lack of Asians in the cast and extras. I unofficially counted more aliens than Asians. Not surprised. JJ's not known for it. There wasn't a lot of other ethnic groups represented beyond the token few. Racist Hollywood, and the beat plays on.
It is one of the 2009 blockbusters and plays that roll well. High energy. High production value. Very nice FX.
