 STAR TREK
 (Running time: 126 minutes)
 Rated PG- 13 t
 Starring: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto,
 Leonard Nimoy, Eric Bana

 What can I say about this excellent
prequel? I loved it!
 The movie opens with James T. Kirk's
father sacrificing his life to save his crew,
including his wife and just-born son from
the wrath of the Romuluns.
 Jim Kirk is wild and reckless, even
as a young boy. .Discovered brawling
in a bar over a girl, he is recruited for
Starfleet by the Commander of the Star
Ship Enterprise. Kirk (Pine) is a brilliant
bad-boy who gets into trouble but still
manages to outshine all the other cadets.
 Things go wrong on the ship, Spock
and Jim clash and the adventure takes
off at light speed. I loved seeing all the
old favorite characters there as young


men and women. There are laughs, tears,
disgusting things and big monsters.
 Star Trek recaptures the humor that
made the TV show a stand-out among
adventure programs. There is plenty of
violence, some sexual situations but no
bad language. Star Trek is a "don't miss"
for parents and kids age 10 or 11 and over
who can "get" the complicated plot and sit
for two hours.

 BATTLE FOR TERRA
 (Running time: 85 minutes)
 Rated PG
 Animated with the voices of: Evan
 Rachel Wood,
 Justin Long, Luke Wilson, Dennis
 Quaid

 The story begins with two rebellious
teens, Senn (Long) and Mala (Wood) who
live on the peaceful planet, Terra. Terrians
look like a cross between extraterrestrials


and seahorses.
 A huge spaceship manned by Earthlings
cruises over the planet, making Terrians
curious. The Earthlings wrecked Earth
then went to Mars. The two planets had
a war and both were destroyed. The
remaining Earthlings created a home
on a space station that is running out of
oxygen. Now the Earthlings have to find
a new place to live.
 The atmosphere on Terra doesn't have
enough oxygen for Earth people. But if you
surround yourself with certain plants that
give off oxygen, you can live. However,
too much oxygen suffocates the Terrians.
Earthlings like Terra and so military decide
to take it over.
 During reconnaissance, a pilot gets
shot down and Mala's father gets taken.
Mala brings the pilot into her home to
save him. Each is afraid of the other,
but they do come to terms. The pilot has
gotten to know the Terrians a little and


Kids


now is opposed to a forcible takeover. But
his leaders press on.
 The movie has a strong environmental
and anti-war theme. One scene of the
Earthlings trying to take over has them
suffocating the Terrians by flooding the
planet's atmosphere with oxygen. This
scene may be frightening for young
children.
 Battle for Terra is a good movie with
strong, positive messages. But it is a
serious movie for children with many
unarmed Terrians getting killed. Just before
the destruction of all the Terrians, the pilot
sacrifices his life to save them. This sad
event brings about peaceful co-existence.
 I enjoyed Battle for Terra as the anti-war
theme was put across in an engaging way.
While this is a short movie, it is not suitable
for children uitder age 9. Battle for Terra is
a good movie to see with your children as
it raises some interesting questions about
military aggression and peace.
