This movie surpassed my expectations. If you know nothing of the Trek legacy, it won't matter; see it anyway. The updated and more action-packed Trek worked for me. Be sure to watch this either in a theater or on a large TV screen with This movie surpassed my expectations. If you know nothing of the Trek legacy, it won't matter; see it anyway. The updated and more action-packed Trek worked for me. Be sure to watch this either in a theater or on a large TV screen with good sound and it will deliver epic popcorn perfection. The powerful opening battle scenes drew me in immediately and emotionally, and later in the movie there's enough humor to provide levity, namely Dr. McCoy's arsenal of injections. Most importantly for me, the main characters were properly cast (Spock, twice!) and well-developed, the script tight (didn't matter to me about the parallel universe), and the effects solid (unlike most movies where effects are everything and characters one-dimensional). Abrams and co. brought the swagger back and injected a faster pace to Trek (which might be slightly over the top for some viewers, esp. with some of the cliffhangers). Giacchino's riveting, brassy soundtrack, stirred with occasional harp glissandos, works to add dramatic flair. It's my favorite orchestral soundtrack in years. The editing is tight throughout, with one exception--I do wish the police scene with young Kirk had been cut and torched. Besides that, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Let the epic popcorn sc-fi movie do what it's supposed to--entertain, stimulate, and provide catharsis.… Expand

I have been and always will be a huge fan of Star Trek. My Brother and I would hunker down on the floor three feet away from the TV when the original series was new. As sceptical as I was the idea, writing, story line and actors all made I have been and always will be a huge fan of Star Trek. My Brother and I would hunker down on the floor three feet away from the TV when the original series was new. As sceptical as I was the idea, writing, story line and actors all made this new lease on life for the Enterprise very enjoyable. I watch an average of three new movies a week on DVD and this is the first time I have watched the same movie over again. I watched it three times and each time I saw something I missed the first time. I was however a tad amiss with the relationship between Spock and Uhura but by the third time watching it was intrigued by the idea. A must see if you enjoy Sci Fi, action, drama and great directing. My second movie to watch over and over again will be the Harry Potter DVD coming out this month. Enjoy all.… Expand

This film does tot he Star Trek series what X-Men Origins: Wolverine did for the X-Men series, it gives us a starting point, something to work from, something for fans to see how these famous character's came to be. And for people who have never seen the series, it gives them something to start with. It gives them a chance to experience a movie that is literally out of this world. Star Trek is a space tripping, mind blowing Sci-Fi adventure that is something all long time Trekkie's and non-fan's alike can enjoy and love.

Unlike the crappy Dragonball thing this movie shows how an adaptation is done with style and lots of reference to the original.

I have to say that I originally thought that this movie wouldn't even remotely interest me. Being a fan of Star Trek TNG and DS9, and not too keen on Abrams stuff i thought we would get a movie, where the characters have the same names, I have to say that I originally thought that this movie wouldn't even remotely interest me. Being a fan of Star Trek TNG and DS9, and not too keen on Abrams stuff i thought we would get a movie, where the characters have the same names, a few things seem similar, but the rest would be just an action sci-fi movie. I wasn't that wrong, but the truth is that it is a very good sci-fi action movie, and the time-travel plot does explain the differences to a point that they don't iritate, but itself id not that overblown (particularly that it was used in the series). I don't think that people who wanted a total revamp will enjoy this as much as I did, and i think that my opinion might be overenthusiastic for hard-core TOS fans, but other than that - a top notch sci-fi action movie.… Expand

I can see it many times, and never get bored and this is for a number of reasons. Every scene is handled very well, and all is accompanied by a beautiful classic composition that really sets a perfect flow to everything it tries to portrayed. The characters, specially James T. Kirk and Spock are developed with tons of depth, and the rest of the crew are given unique personalities that are all very entertaining to watch. There´s action here, and very cool action, but this is a movie about characters, and their impact on the story. In fact this whole movie is an effort to accommodate an acceptable alternate universe to a series that has been running for way too much time. J.J Abrams did a fantastic job, it accommodated everything perfectly, and in the process it has created a very enjoyable film that has perfect pacing, and never gets boring.… Expand

The tone from the start is exactly what Roddenberrry's vision was all about, the crusade of hegemony into space and how that construct behaved with alien contact. This movie has it all and then updates everything. You don't have to be a Star Trek freak to enjoy this rocket ship into the future.… Expand

Given that the sequel is now out, and I'm about to draft a review for that, it's probably time to get the review for this one up. I've always been a Star Trek fan. Not one of the rabid ones, one of the die-hard eats-lives-breathes Trek fansGiven that the sequel is now out, and I'm about to draft a review for that, it's probably time to get the review for this one up. I've always been a Star Trek fan. Not one of the rabid ones, one of the die-hard eats-lives-breathes Trek fans (the superstereotypical Trekkies), but a fan nevertheless. Given that reboots are now dominating Hollywood to the point that one begins to wonder how many original ideas are making it through the producer deflector screen. Thankfully, this reboot is one of the few that makes you glad that you spent the money to see it in the theater. Let's talk Star Trek. This is an out-and-out reboot, forget everything that came before except Star Trek: Enterprise (which was generally forgettable on its own for the most part). This gives the movie an amazing degree of latitude, freedom that it uses to exceptional benefit. Consider for a moment the fact that we're talking about established characters known to the entire world, and now we're plugging new actors into them. This is actor hell. Sure, you're being given a shot at a major screen role, probably bigger than anything that's ever come before, but you're going up against the yardstick of your predecessor. That said, the entire...ENTIRE...cast deserves congratulations on jobs very well done. Not a single actor failed in any way to render a believable, moving, and memorable performance. More on that in a few seconds. Scriptwriting is bang-on, featuring a coherent plot with enough twists to make it interesting, enough levity to keep it from being depressing, and outstanding character development and progression. They didn't fall into the trap of trying to redevelop characters along the lines they followed in the original storylines; they went in new directions, all of which were rewarding. Action is plentiful because, well, that's what audiences today demand (Star Trek: The Motion Picture would never fly in today's market...it barely flew in any case). Even so, the action is well choreographed and is a sensible part of the story rather than merely action for the sake of action. Set design was beautiful and well-designed; everything had a function. And to address something many people have made noise about, yes, this Enterprise looks a lot more advanced than the one in the original series. That's the POINT. This movie follows Star Trek: Enterprise. The original series, Next Generation, all of that never happened. Thus, this Enterprise is a logical progression from the one in ST:E. Even the overall story is, frankly, a brilliant fusion of old and new timelines to create an exceptional reboot. But, as promised, back to the cast. Chris Pine is a very good Kirk...at the risk of infuriating legions of Trek fans, actually better in many ways than Shatner was (his deliveries are better, blocking is smoother, and he is able to project an ego without being a walking one). Zachary Quinto may not be Leonard Nimoy, but who is? Quinto's Spock is a fantastic portrayal of a beloved character, and one that lives up to the lofty standards set by Nimoy. Zoe Saldana's Uhura is every bit the groundbreaker that Nichelle Nichols was. Everybody, from John Cho as Sulu to Anton Yelchin's Chekov, are believable parts of the crew and fit perfectly into the story's universe. Karl Urban in particular deserves commendation; at long last, he's found his calling and has developed a perfect interpretation of McCoy. And Simon Pegg as Scotty? Pegg's interpretation is easily believable as the younger Montgomery Scott, with the same genius and exuberance. I also must make mention of Leonard Nimoy (of course): it would be so easy for Nimoy to overpower the entire film, but (and here's the mark of a truly great actor) he doesn't. He's every bit a part of the narrative as every other character, which is why I'm so glad Shatner stayed out of this one. (He would've wrecked it. Shatner's Kirk is dead. Done, full stop. Forget the fact that he resurrected his own character in his novels. Sorry, Shatner-Kirk is cashed out; it's time for Pine-Kirk.) Oh! And the score? The anthem of this new incarnation of Trek is so worthy of the mantle of Trek...Michael Giacchino seems intent on vaulting into the neighborhood of John Williams, and he just might. In short, much as I tried to find fault with this reboot, I just can't. There are a few tiny plot holes, but every film has and can be forgiven for a couple minor ones. Star Trek is an excellent film and promises to sprout a crop of new Trek fans for a new generation of Trek. As long as they can keep this up, it's going to be a good one. A very rare 10 for the sci-fi gem of Star Trek. Boldly go.… Expand

I hate all martial arts movies, and gun battle movies, movies like The Expendables 2, Jason Statham movies, The Dark Knight Rises, but I loved hand to hand combat and stunt scenes from Star Trek.
I also don't like people with too much muscles. I want Star Wars to be like this Start Trek, I want Star Wars to have many hand to hand combat, street fight like how Kirk did. and many stunt scenes.
I specially liked Spock, Spock prime, Kirk, warp drive, story, music, heartwarming scenes. But there were things I felt missing, I wanted to see more starfighters battle scenes, not ships battle scenes. I wanted to see some small Aliens like from Cloverfield and Metro 2033.… Expand

Enterprise and its crew is back. It’s an entertaining ride with many ups and downs in this space-opera. Kirk, Spock and all the other main characters are exemplary visualized. The chemistry is natural, antagonist as protagonist's motivations are all logical, as what they should be. A well established plot with ton of action & adventure is something that most of the time will please the eye. But more character development and inside to the main individuals could have made the film even more flawless – and it might focus a bit too much on plot and action -- rather than on the characters themselves. Still, it’s a stunning ride into the vastness of space, and it’s one of my favorite films of all time!

J. J. Abrams has a talent for reboots. At the time the tenth Star Trek film Nemesis was not well acclaimed and financially also not a success. The TV show Enterprise also failed to get more viewers. So new ideas were proposed and discardedJ. J. Abrams has a talent for reboots. At the time the tenth Star Trek film Nemesis was not well acclaimed and financially also not a success. The TV show Enterprise also failed to get more viewers. So new ideas were proposed and discarded until J. J Abrams was picked to make a new movie. When we heard about a remake with the original series characters we were skeptic and had many doubts. These old character were pop culture legends and fan nostalgia was to high to be satisfied. Then we watched the movie and were positively surprised. It does justice to the old characters while still giving us something new and fresh. It is a new continuity or better phrased an alternative reality (There is the misconception that it erased the old continuity). The story starts a few years before the original series. The Federation ship Kelvin is investigating strange energy signatures when a giant Romulan ship appears out of a turbulence. This sets things in motion that changes the events of this timeline. Years later a rebellious teenager named James T. Kirk meets Captain Christopher Pike who sees more in him than a troublemaker and convince him to go to the starfleet academy. With this the actual story begins. It is an interesting mix of old and new. Like I already said the new actors work brilliantly in the iconic roles and the story is engaging. It sets up a new realm of possibilities and stories. You can take the best from the past while still being able to use new twists, stories and situations. My deepest respect here. I want to praise the whole cast too. Lets start with the trinity;-). Chris Pine is an amazing James T. Kirk. He nails the rebellious teenager and uncut gem. I never doubt him being or becoming Captain Kirk. Same goes for Zachary Quinto as Mr. Spock. I don't know how he could pull of such a great genuine performance. He nailed Spock while being not just a copy. Karl Urban as Dr. Leonard McCoy is also excellent. Maybe a bit to less cynical compared to the original but I think this is a good decision. I had never imagined Simon Pegg as Scotty. I was wrong and he convinced me. Zoe Saldana as Uhura is even an improvement. They used her better than in the original series. Lets continue with John Cho as Sulu and Anton Yelchin as Chekov. I think they improved them too compared to the series (A bit to much stereotypes there). An excellent recreation of an iconic cast and I am still impressed by this performance. The antagonist Nero however is a bit one dimensional. While I understand his motives he is dumb as he could solved the issue that caused his pain easily. Lets continue my praise for director J. J. Abrams and writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. Together they created this awesome movie. The special effects look good and will age well. I heard yet not heard complains. Overall while this is not the best Star Trek movie and has some small weaknesses it is still a remarkable one. A reboot that does justice to its franchise while feeling fresh or refreshing. Could have reignited the Star Trek franchise but later TV shows and movies were not as good.… Expand
