While, I may be disappointed on how this Universe has be rewritten so to speak, it's something I can overlook to inject more life in the series. The one really glaring problem I have( Pun intended) is the use of the good awful Lens Flare being used every 5 freaking seconds.. I though the hack director Michael Bay was a master. Abrams just takes it to and all new painful level that got really annoying rather quick. Other than that is was a solid flick with a strong cast, and effects.… Expand

If star trek had never existed before this (i know, Trekkies: GASP!), it would've been an even better movie! the Pros: Great effects, acting, scenery, and direction. The whole feel of the movie blew me away so much. Some parts of the writing were mediocre, but when they said their catchphrases, it was less an "eh, they went there? can you say, CLICHE?" moment and more a throwback " AHA! I remember when they said that in the show!" moment. The Cons: the plot was a little strange and hole-y (no pun intended... or not). The make-out scenes where occasionally unnecessary, and the camera was shaky at times. But don't let the Hardcore Trekkies that still probably live in basements say that this film should be avoided. WATCH THIS FILM! If you do so without bias, i believe it'll be a fun film, even if your like me and don't like Sci-Fi films too much.… Expand

This was definitely more of spectacle--especially at the pace Abrams moves it, but strangely I think the character drama of Spock came off quite well.

Attempting to jump start what appeared to be a dead-in-the-water series is no easy task especially trying to match the iconic original actors of Nimoy, Shatner, etc, but the director in my opinion pulled it off with a surprisingly plausible Attempting to jump start what appeared to be a dead-in-the-water series is no easy task especially trying to match the iconic original actors of Nimoy, Shatner, etc, but the director in my opinion pulled it off with a surprisingly plausible alternate universe plot that allows for the main characters to have different childhoods/paths and thus different traits and relationships then the original series. Sure the Russian actor felt forced and the character development wasn't all there for the crew, but at 2 HRs running time there wasn't enough time to address it all for the Trekkers while still retaining the attention of the mainstream audience. Plenty of time to further delve into the relationships in the next film now that the hard part is out of the way [i.e. Setting the foundation and recapturing the audiences' interest in Star Trek]. P.S. Nimoy's cameo was great.… Expand

But, I think it has potential to be great, come a sequel....so i'll bump it up. Star Trek proved to be an often fun, if not predictable and boring, Origin story to a take on Star Trek. The Effects were amazing, as well as the sound. The characters were all there, nostalgic as they are (for better or worse), and they are charming. The plot... was a tad "been there, done that." It didn't break away from the classic Hollywood 'Rise of the Hero' story that the orginial "Star Wars" attained decades ago. I found myself slightly bored during the last 30 minutes of the film because nothing held me on the edge of my seat. Very by the numbers. Should Star Trek be tarnished for giving the audience what they want?... Yes and a bit no. Abrams had the hard task of giving a fantastic original space opera, but cator to the nostalgia of previous fans. This made the film fall into the category of "safe." Not meant to step across boundaries to new comers and loyal fans... Horrible? No... Revolutionary? Not even close.… Expand

Manic movie with plot execution that borders on cornball ludicrousness to brash derring-do, pulsating in a manner never seen before in the beloved franchise's previous instalments. Be sure to set your phasers on suspended disbelief over this one. Special effects are top-rate, and so is the chemistry between all the lead actors, which by the way is one of the assets of the film. Star Trek sows the seed of brotherhood and camaraderie between Kirk and Spock, a human and an alien; a unique friendship that plays a very integral part in Gene Roddenberry's universe. Because of this, and other small factors such as Spock's resolve to be himself despite what other people think, I therefore cannot say that Gene's vision of Star Trek has totally faded away. If the film can live Gene's philosophies rather than ponder on it, then so much the better.… Expand

Celebrates the elements that made Star Trek work while freshening the whole thing up--Chris Pine is utterly fantastic. I thought this movie was just superb.

This movie was amazing. It was funny, it was action packed, and I didn't even have to be a trekkie to enjoy it. Honestly don't understand people that have given this a grade below 7.

I hated the old star trek movies and tv shows. This one actually kept my attention the whole time and didn't make me want to walk out. Star Trek is now something that everyone can enjoy.

As much as we fell in love with those lovable Has it really been 45 years? I have seen every episode and every movie. Watching these new actors in a prequel made me feel my age. But basically this is the rebirth of a dying franchise. As much as we fell in love with those lovable characters this movie was needed to re-engerize the franchise. We already accept the premise that we can go backward and forward in time so the storyline made sense to us Trekkies. However, as a stand alone movie it was very formulaic. No shocking revelations, no mind altering thinking, just a few chuckles when trademark punch lines were made by the characters. Now this reborn franchise must take us boldly where no man has gone before in the next movie. Number One Make It So!… Expand

From a person who knows a fair amount of Star Trek storyline, there was a good amount of references. The movie wasn't filled with references, but just enough to make you chuckle. The younger alternate shipmates were done in a way that flatters the older counterparts, but still hold personality differences to be acceptable as an alternate reality. Now that I've mentioned it, this movie involves time travel and the alternate reality that is caused by it. Do not expect this to be a historically correct movie in regards to the known storyline. Now for gripes, of which I only have minor. The camera angles were amazingly showy. Always tilted, shaky, and downright annoying. The camera always caught some glare of light from somewhere, or they added it in editing for some reason. And though they correctly captured space battles in some scenes, I wish they'd done more with it. What I mean is the fact that there is no sound in space. In some scenes, they captured that point, but quickly changed back to normal. I truly wish they could have kept with that for a little longer. Overall, worth the money.… Expand

The best star trek movie since ''the wrath of kahn". Good acting by an almost unknown cast. Great script. And the best special effects I have since "the lord of the rings: the return of the king" Well done J.J Abrams.

It's the most impressive thing someone's done with a major hollywood budget in recent years. The casting was impeccable, the performances well above average. The humor was masterly executed in the script. The action brings Star Trek to a whole new level of sci-fi, solidly installing it in the sci-fi action category. It was already there, but now it's been placed at the very top. J.J. Abrams has my undivided attention. After MI:3 and this, I'll be first in line for whatever he does.… Expand

Simply put, this movie blew me away. Without any Star Trek background whatsoever, I left the theatre knowing the characters, their roles, the ships, and a lot about Star Trek. This film took the nerdy Star Trek and, while retaining it's roots and great characters, turned it into a modern day pop culture action film that ANYBODY could enjoy. Star Trek was stellar, and I recommend it to anyone who likes good action.… Expand
