Rated R Directed by Jonathan Mostow Starring Bruce Willis, Radha Mitchell, Rosamund Pike, Boris Kodjoe, James Francis Ginty Heidi’s Illustrious Rating: 3.5/5 Word of Warning: Don’t over think it, just enjoy.

Star Trek ““ boldly going or a timid try?
My father was a fan of the original “Star Trek” series, and introduced my brother and me to Captain Kirk and Spock when we were still wee children.
