Mormon movie review--Star Trek PG13

The new Star Trek movie is out, and 'Trekkies' of all ages are aching to see the newest one. The newest 'Star Trek' is a pre-quel. It goes back to the very beginning before James Tiberius Kirk was even born, and establishes a foundation for a change in time line. The audience is entertained by the appearances of all of the old crew in their younger years; Uhura, Sulu, Scottie, Doctor McCoy (Bones), Chekov, Spock and, of course, Captain Kirk.
A Clingon Captain blames Spock for the destruction of his home planet, and travels through a time warp in order to confront Spock and get his revenge. Leonard Nemoy makes a cameo appearance as a much older Spock, who helps the younger version of himself. Because the time line has been altered, The older Spock also helps to make sure that James T. Kirk does indeed become captain of the Enterprise.
Is it a family film? Here are the facts to help you decide. There are no bad words. It is not scary, however, there is some violence. There is a sex scene with young Kirk and his lover in their underwear, where there is intent, but no follow through due to an interruption. This scene and the violence are undoubtedly why the 13 was added to the PG rating.
It is fun to see the young Bones act just like the older one, and Scottie is quite a character. Chekov is also quite enjoyable, and in this version of Star Trek, there is some sort of a romance between Spock and Uhura. It is actually funny, just because Kirk is jealous. For lovers of the original Star Trek series, it is quite an enjoyable film. For younger viewers less familiar with the original series, some allusions may be lost. One Albuquerque audience actually gave the movie a standing ovation.
