It is the first movie in a long long time where I left the theater being fully satisfied, no complaints at all. The perfect Hollywood If you're not stuck in the past and you're not a Star Trek die-hard, you will love this movie. It is the first movie in a long long time where I left the theater being fully satisfied, no complaints at all. The perfect Hollywood action blockbuster. Don't understand why it's getting so much ire from the Star Trek faithful. If they woulda made this movie exactly how Trekkies want it to be, they would be the only ones who would watch it or like it. Star Trek needed a makeover and a fresh take on a tired franchise. They got it, and I'm thrilled. Terrific cast, interesting story, great action, just enough of a homage to the past = the perfect summer movie. Expand

Looks great, nice casting... totally retarded and insulting plot holes and illogical science. In other words, more like the original Star Trek, less like anything since Next Generation.

This film is AMAZING!!! At first I did not expect such a good film. It occurs between the events of the first of the two pilots, "The Cage" (1964) which introduced the most of the main cast including Spock and the first series (1966-1968). This film is AMAZING!!!

I agree with several people [***SPOILERS***] First off, I will say that I am a huge fan! Not the kind that dresses up and makes a fool of himself, but the kind that loves the in depth stories and Characters that only Star Trek can bring in. I agree with several people that they made this into a movie that Young A.D.D people would love. Or that non Star trek fans would like. What Hollywood doesn't realize is that there are plenty of real Star Trek fans that would make them plenty of money if they just knew how to write a good story!! My God, what the hell was this?!! Yes, the acting and the special effects were good but the story was inexcusable!! They just took Star Treks 40 year history and pissed it away in one movie! And what in the hell is up with the camera movement?! Can Hollywood please stop this already!!! And as for all the plot holes? Blowing up Romulus and Vulcan was just idiotic! Killing Spocks mom was just stupid also! There were a 1000 different ways they could have written this without involving time travel. And one drop of red matter can create a planet destroying black hole but a whole crap load of it at the end couldn't suck in a ship?! lol! I think I will leave the rest of the plot holes to Andrew C who said it best. I am just going to pretend this movie is just a stand alone and has nothing to do with the rich history of Star Trek. sigh! Expand

Many of the carping A bold, daring and fresh reboot that grabs hold of you from the first minutes into the film -- and I saw it dubbed in Italian. Like many, I'm a lifelong Trek fan and I was dubious at the outset of this project. Many of the carping comments here remind me of the criticism of the prior major reboot, The Next Generation. All isn't how I would've done it but it's not my vision. It's J.J. Abrams' vision and he's done a terrific job, particularly in casting. The cast is just about pitch-perfect and I had no trouble accepting them in their roles. Hard-core fans, like me, will have some pangs over some of the developments, especially surrounding Spock. Zachary Quinto merits special mention for an uncanny performance that never once veers into imitation. I particularly love how Abrams took hints from ST:TOS about the characters and explored them. Like others before me, I would remind some of the fan critics of a few cogent points: This is an *alternate* reality and some events from ST:TOS have changed. Vulcans -- and Romulans -- have 250 year life expectancies. We are not told at what point Spock Prime (and Nero) exited the main ST timeline but it clearly was much later than the ST:TNG period and tech undoutedly had advanced. Wesley Crusher was a prodigy and it was implied in TOS that Chekhov was also. TOS episode "Mirror, Mirror" was one of the best. So relax, don't let the best be the enemy of the good, and enjoy a great new Trek adventure. The Trek universe is more than big enough to hold an alternate storyline or two. Expand

Firstly the most positive thing - thae actors. They all faced a difficult task in picking up established characters. They all did a good job, being instantly recognizable as who they were supposed to be. Secondly the pacing was good for an action movie, and to bring in non-trekkies. Having said that there were some bits that were pointless - the car going off the cliff, the monster chase (one of the monsters looked quite badly evolved for an ice planet BTW) served no purpose than to get Kirk to bump into old Spock. From there on in though the problems really start. The set design is way off the mark. The new bridge is sterile and engineering looks more like an oil refinery than the bowels of a starship. The biggest problem though is the script. OK, I completely understand that there was a difficult task here in trying to reinvent the franchise, but too many liberties have been taken. The moving of the Enterprise's construction to Iowa I can just about cope with. Romantic involvement for Spock? Destroying Vulcan? These are just steps too far. Then we get into the scientific holes. Like they wouldn't have spotted that a star was about to go supernova, like that wouldn't have affected Vulcan (which is just around the corner from Romulus) too. Why do none of the black holes formed have any time dilation effects? Why would the black hole have to be at the centre of a planet, when it would be just as effective anywhere near? Then there's the plot holes. What was Nero doing for 25 years, and why didn't he age? Once he realises when his is, wouldn't he just warn the Romulans what would happen in the future? Taking revenge for something that hasn't happened yet makes no sense. Why throw kirk off the ship in an escape pod? What's wrong with the brig? Isn't it a bit too much of a coincidence that he lands on the planet where Spock is hiding (and wanders into his cave) and where Scotty has been working? Then there's the interplanetary beaming - something that wasn't even possible in the ST:TNG era. Ooh, the transporters, Why can a 17 year old cadet get a transporter lock when experienced techies and the computer can't? Why is Vulcan, one of the founder members of the federation, defenceless when Earth has a defence system that Nero needs information on? So, all in all? It's a long long way from the best Trek ever. Treks 2,3,4,6 and 8 are all light years ahead of this. Before the next film they need to employ some script writers who actually know something about Star Trek and who can write a plot that makes sense. Expand

Also, the character doing 'Bones' seemed constantly on the verge of blowing his accent. And I thought the plot was thin. I felt the story gratuitously celebrated its more aggressive impulses in the form of constant (often unnecessary) fist-fights etc. The thing that made the first Star Trek so legendary was its message of hope, which it addressed while asking more serious questions about human nature. Although well executed, this picture seemed to be more spectacle than substance. Expand

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

It manages to update a 40 year old franchise that is central to American culture and the international sci-fi genre while remaining thoroughly contemporary in its sensitivities. Zachary Quinto's younger (and therefore more human) Spock is a lot less alien yet still brings an otherworldly flavor to the plot. The exploration of the relationship between Kirk and McCoy is an aspect that is almost completely new to Star Trek productions (it was a given before). Leonard Nimoy provides much needed gravitas and the new Scotty brings a fresh take to a character not easy to re imagine. I'm a big fan of sci-fi in general and Star Trek in particular. I have seen all the movies and the episodes of all the series at least twice. However, none of the films ever came close to being considered among my favorite movies. (And no, I don't speak Klingon or go to conventions.) This movie is something else entirely. I went to a pre-screening with government and industry execs and the press where I did not expect to find the best reception for the film and was surprised to hear everyone say they liked it (even people who normally wouldn't be caught dead watching sci-fi). To answer those that state that you need to have ADHD to enjoy it well you need to get with the times, that is the modern film aesthetic and must be appreciated just as abstract art is appreciated even though it doesn't have the detail of the great masters. Anyway this is much more than a popcorn flick, it is a piece of Americana resurrected. In short, go see it. Expand

It's a bunch of 'awesome' scenes pasted together from JJ Abrams and the dullards who wrote Transformers. There's definitely nothing re-watchable about it. The Metascore of 84 has to be a case-in-point against the quality of modern movie criticism. Sweet CGI and a franchise reboot should not give you 40 bonus points.

I really enjoyed this one. It may be in large part due to my disappointment regarding the X-men movie but I thought the cast nailed their parts. Quinto hit all the little Spock-ish looks with just the right timing and the right application I really enjoyed this one. It may be in large part due to my disappointment regarding the X-men movie but I thought the cast nailed their parts. Quinto hit all the little Spock-ish looks with just the right timing and the right application of his eyebrows. Pine was a bit obvious in his constantly checking out every woman who passed him by but that is exactly what Kirk would do seemingly. The plot was the only aspect of the film I thought needed real help. It lacked a certain oomph provided by a sci-fi-esque conceptual nightmare like a giant single celled creature about to eat the ship. In any case the film was fun, in the spirit of the original at the very least and filled with what I thought were some fine performances. Expand

Awful. Just awful. Let's start from the beginning. . . what's with the Beastie Boy's "Sabotage" doing in a Star Trek film? I knew this movie was bogus from about that point on. The character development was poor. The villain Awful. Just awful. Let's start from the beginning. . . what's with the Beastie Boy's "Sabotage" doing in a Star Trek film? I knew this movie was bogus from about that point on. The character development was poor. The villain was not menacing. Poor acting all around. Each fight scene is predictable. Horrible score. At certain points I felt like I was watching a college drama in space. . .complete with sex scenes and plenty of make outs. Wtf was Winona Ryder doing in this?!? Were we supposed to care about ANY of these characters? I sure didn't! The only thing I cared about was checking my watch in hopes that this flop was almost done with. And how about the final battle that was practically lifted from Star Wars?? I kept waiting for Han Solo to yell "You're all clear kid, now let's blow this thing and go home!" However, the film does deserve a couple points for great visual effects. Unfortunately even the effects were sometimes cheesy. I wasn't sure if I was watching a movie or playing a game of Halo. This one is a stinker! Expand

The characters were done perfectly, and the modern-redoing of the look worked, because it blended modern and nostalgic styles successfully. It was far more action-packed than Star Trek ever is, and it did not venture into any true sci-fi territory. But to those who fault the film for that, I'd like to remind you that only the best Star Trek episodes were real Sci-Fi. If you didn't like the movie because it wasn't sci-fi enough, then there's a whole lot of Star Trek that you must have hated. Either that, or you have a very strong aversion to fun. Expand

Suffice to say, this wasn't your traditional Star Trek movie. It was good. They kept the sci-fi lingo, over the top dialog, and boring conversations, to a minimum. What they lacked in a traditional boring trek movie, they made up for with drama, comedy, even romance. You don't need to watch a Star Trek film to understand whats going on, as its a prequel, but it makes wonderful reference work of the greater films in the series (of which Ive only seen one). I'm not going to tell you to see this, but if you decide to see it, i can more then guarantee you wont be disappointed. Expand

I am like most of people around here a huge Start Trek fan. I watch the trailers and even though the graphics look very good it looked more like an action film than a real Star Trek. It looked good but it did not look Star Trek. Cause behind I am like most of people around here a huge Start Trek fan. I watch the trailers and even though the graphics look very good it looked more like an action film than a real Star Trek. It looked good but it did not look Star Trek. Cause behind Star Trek is whole philosophy , it is not a Star Wars fairy tale , because it tries to predict the Future , even though some exaggeration is added for the sake of drama. It is however one of the very few if not the Only , serious SCI FI. So as many Trekkie out there feared that this film will disappoint me greatly. Another reason is that unlike many people out there I am not a JJ ABRAMS fan. LOST does not excite me , even though I must admit is well made. And his last film COVERFIELD even though I am a big fan of moster movies , I found it TERRIBLE. But when I went to see this movie I was blown away. Ok Let say I understand the fact that his movie has the most AMAZING Effects I have ever seen in any MOVIE in my LIFE TIME. IT blows away any other movie in its path. OK let us say that I felt comfortable that the movie respects the Star Trek Philosophy , and vaporates all my fears. But HOW, HOW ON EARTH did he take a cast of inexperienced actors and turn them to EXACT replicates of the original crew??? I was blow away , not because JJ Abrams clones the unclonable but also expands the characters in ways unthinkable. For example is the FIRST time that all the crew plays an important role. In most other movies only Bones, Kirk and Spok take the biggest part of the movie , in this one , every character is polished and ready to perform its best. Second , how on earth did manage to tell us so much about SPOK? Why the previous movies did not do it and this one does? Ok now let say What I did not like. First , the central theme of the movie is Boring. I am tried of the time machine stories that have been polluting Star Trek for so long. It is old , tried many many times and for all trek fan nothing original. Of course the Scenario is very well done, it is probably one of the best Start Trek scenarios out there, and makes you forget the boring theme and concentrate on what really happens which is so carefully crafted as a story and character interaction that you cannot escape its enchantment. My second objection is the BAD GUY, Nero. Dont get me wrong he is a fine actor, but surprisingly he never gets enough time to develop his character. There is mostly the original star trek crew. The movie makes us understand his motives , but we never have time to understand who he really is. The previous start trek movie was not like this one but he had a bad guy the alter ego of picard that really sends us deep into the dark side of picard and made probably the best Villain (or almost the best if you count the Khan, In Warth OF Kahn or the evil Klingon general in Undiscovered country ). But in this one , the bad guys play only a tiny role in the movie. However the movie is awesome, it rates as high as the last Batman, with wonderful performance, excellent art, amazing directing and a very solid yet complex Story line that fully respects and dare expand the Star Trek ethos. Even women did like it !!! and this hard to do in my country. (Greece). It pains me that the Theater was only half full, but here we are no big Sci fi or Star Trek fans. Well, they missed something amazing. So After the movie the only question remains --->I am sure there is going to be a sequel to this , but When are we going to see the new series on TV with this new cast mr Abrams ? Expand

The prologue is rousing stuff, but it's not until we hear the Beastie Boys blaring over the soundtrack that this shrewd reboot irreparably distances itself from [***SELF-POLICING SPOILER ALERT***] "Star Trek" was never cool, until now. The prologue is rousing stuff, but it's not until we hear the Beastie Boys blaring over the soundtrack that this shrewd reboot irreparably distances itself from the campy original, as Kirk(Chris Pine), a rebel without a cause, sends his vehicle careening over a cliff(perhaps, a subtle nod to the 1955 film directed by Nicholas Ray). Painting Kirk as a lost child with suicidal tendencies repositions William Shatner's lecherous take on the captain as being symptomatic of overcompensation. Finally, Kirk becomes relatable to the masses, and breaks the filmic text wide open. Enlistment with the Star Fleet makes all the sense in the world; he has nowhere else to go. In the original series, the viewer never gets a sense that the Enterprise crew members had lives outside of the ship. Never has an origin story been this crucial, or game for self-invention. The film's masterstroke, no doubt, is its reimagining of Kirk and Spock(Zachary Quinto) as rivals. You always took their friendship for granted. The way Leonard Nimoy played the half-breed alien, Spock was always so cool and collected, like he was on a perpetual Quaalude high. The fiery temper that the Vulcan displays here is a revelation. So many unknown scenarios, death-causing scenarios, could have arisen once Spock jettisons Kirk off the ship. His dislike for the future captain nearly makes a murderer out of him. This Spock is no celibate. This Spock kicks ass. As does the film. For a refreshing change, it presents military service in a positive light, completely free of the nihilism found in Paul Verhoeven's "Starship Troopers". Nero(Eric Bana) is given a choice; the violence that comes down on the Romulans isn't senseless. Expand
