With the teaser released this month, the new movie installment to the rich and long heritage of the Starship Enterprise comes this May 2009. The cast and some of the details of the movie have been known for a while and the timing couldn’t have better for the widow of infamous Gene Roddenberry passed away just this December 18, 2008. With Gene having been partially buried in space already (his wife gave a couple of grams of his ashes for space burial a few years back) they are to be buried together in space and will join other space pioneers like James Doohan(Scottie) who have opted for burial into space to travel the stars forever.
The new installment shows the initial meeting of the crew and their melding into a solid unit that has inspired many a space explorers with simple yet convincing primitive special effects. It also tackles the fact that Capt. Kirk wasn’t the first captain of the USS Enterprise which in the film had just completed construction.
