The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk, is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock, was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emoti...( read more

May 12, 2009Quite easily the best "Trek" movie that outdoes the previous nine film in the series. The most riveting & fun adventure that you'll see twice.

November 22, 2009No need to go into detail - you've all seen it. It's better than I'd anticipated. Fun filmgoing, to be sure.
A few nitpicks instead:
- Totally botched Scotty.
- The guy playing Chekov had a hard time with the accent. It sounded too deliberate.
- "Red matter" must be the most...( read more) -
November 22, 2009Wonderful reboot for the franchise with seamless special effects and a solid script. Not being a trekkie, I came at this with no preconceptions or loyalties and thoroughly enjoyed it. Quinto and Pine are excellent as the leads. The filmmakers sensibly borrow the pacing and specta...( read more)

November 20, 2009I am not a Trekkie, although I do have friends who are. These friends are always amazed and, I think, a little embarrassed for me when I tell them that I've never been able to watch a complete TV episode or any of the movies without falling asleep.
Interestingly, I did not fa

November 24, 2009Quite possibly one of the few PERFECT movies in existence. The movie has the perfect mix of stuff for the old TREK fans and people who know almost nothing about STAR TREK at all, so everyone is able to enjoy it.
Pine and Quinto were a perfect match to work side by side as Kirk a...( read more)

Quinto is the one person here who may leave teen-aged viewers more perplexed than puffed up; he somehow rebukes the movie's whole obsession with backstory and immaturity by seeming riper and wiser tha... full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
This is really the story of how the Enterprise crew meets, hammers out its differences and becomes a team, and the telling is pure bliss. full review

It's also a pleasure to report that, not only have Gene Roddenberry's ideas stood up pretty well over the decades, so have Spock's ears. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The Gene Roddenberry years, when stories might play with questions of science, ideals or philosophy, have been replaced by stories reduced to loud and colorful action. full review

Armond White, The New York Press
This Star Trek sells cuteness, sentimentality and explosive F/X as if Starship Troopers, Minority Report, Mission to Mars or even Blade Runner or The Matrix (all visionary standard-setters) never happ... full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Trading on affections sustained over 40 years of popular culture, Star Trek does what a franchise reboot rarely does. It reminds us why we loved these characters in the first place. full review

November 1, 2009Exciting story and good drama to excite you that the spirit of Star Trek will never die off.

June 24, 2009extremely poor film. the plot complety destroys all other trek as the planet vulcan no longer exists! they appear to have little sense of scale and there use of physics isn't just fantastic its a load of rubish.
the special effects are fast and slightly painful on the eyes not to mention a radical departure from all previous trek.
where is the engine in the enginering section of the ship all it seems to be is a couple of large yellow metal tubes? and the scene in the water treatment was one of the worst and cheesyest bits of cinema in the history of humanity.
there are a few good acting performances but everytime there on the bridge it looks like a bunch of actors standing on a set not a starship.
most of the film is extremly predictable you see the first 2-3 seconds of a scene and pratically know how its going to end, that said the film itself seems to not know where its going and randomly jumps to a conclusion that isn't half as clever as its ment to be. -

June 2, 2009Should have been rated "G" for the "GARBAGE" it is. JJ Abrams deserves the "Tar & Feather Award"--then needs to be tarred and feathered--for how he spit all over the official history established in all the movies and the series (to say nothing of all the gaps filled in by the novel series). Even making an "alternate timeline" HAS to conform to plausible conclusions based on what's established. JJ...do us all a favor and stick with non-sci fi stuff and especially don't get your filthy paws on Star Trek ever again. Shame Roddenberry couldn't come out of his grave and strangle you, you loser.

February 5, 2009I never was a fan of Star Trek, I don't know anything about it, but I am curious to see what J.J. Abrams would do with it. He did very well with "Lost" and "Cloverfield" wasn't so bad.
