I just walked in the house from seeing the movie and I am going to have trouble sleeping, because of the excitement. Everyone did an fantastic job of pulling off the characters. There was no need for a super mind-twisting plot (for some reason, the few naysayers must have a "Memento" type plot twist). Lots of action, funny moments, and a bit of "that sucks for him" moments. If you don't know about Star Trek, you don't need to. A great job of introducing the characters and what Starfeet is about. The only downfall of the movie: is that it had to end!!! You are either going to love it or like it. ;) Treat yourself and go watch this movie!… 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

I'm not a Trekkie, and there once was a time when i said i would never become one, but this movie was so good, im on the verge of eating my own words. 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 was skeptical but went in with an open mind. I do not go to the movies but once a year or less and do not have television anymore, but I have seen this movie four times and will see it once more before it leaves the theaters. I loved it that much! Although there were things that definitely bothered me, especially the first time seeing it, it was well done, consistently fast paced, with a great selection of actors to carry on the tradition, especially Jacob Kogan as the child Spock, and Karl Urban as "Bones (fantastic performance), and Zachary Quinto as Spock (very impressive and a great Spock, except for his nose). Things that did bother me that I wish they had paid more attention to, were Kirk's eyes being blue instead of brown (especially with all the close ups couldn't they have use colored contacts?), the age of Pike at this time should have been younger (even though i liked the actor and his performance), the age of Spock's mother (which at this time of his life should have been a little younger looking, though Winona Rider did an excellent job) and the casting of Chekov (Anton Yelchin) and Scotty (Simon Pegg) were very disappointing. They were too different in character than the originals. Too bad James Doohan isn't still with us to assist. His Scotty was more serious, intelligent about it all and endearing. Uhura was ok, but the original was beautiful but didn't "know" it; the new one (Zoe Saldana) was too aware of her looks, but the scenes with Spock were touching and well done. Sulu was a good cast. Great family film. If there are sequels, I hope they don't go overboard as the producers of Pirates of the Carribean did, but keep it pure, clean, fast action-paced keeping respect for the original intact and as Spock would say "logical".… Expand

Well, this film has done something to dispel the long held belief about the Star Trek film franchise. It turns out that not every odd numbered Trek film sucks. We know that even numbered Treks were generally good (excepting the last film - Well, this film has done something to dispel the long held belief about the Star Trek film franchise. It turns out that not every odd numbered Trek film sucks. We know that even numbered Treks were generally good (excepting the last film - Nemesis) but the odd ones particularly "The Final Frontier" (directed by Shatner - coincidence?) were typically bad. With this new Star Trek, J.J. Abrahms has recreated the mold into something uniquely original, yet curiously satisfying for older fans like myself. I watched TOS in reruns whilst growing up in the '70's, and although I've never considered myself much of a "trekkie" I can pretty much give you the title of every single episode from memory, along with a great deal of the trivia. Essentially, I've seen every episode so many times that they've become impressed onto my brain like one of Dr. Daystrom's memory engrams. Much of the backstory has been procured from snippets of dialogue extracted from TOS, many of which may not even standout in the die-hard fans mind. Other bits have come from books, and the newer series'. Certain necessary liberties have been taken for the sake of efficiency. For example, the character of Nurse Christine Chapel was glaringly omitted by Abrahms, but he made sure to a least graft aspects of her character onto another crew member. Certain rules in TOS universe have been broken, or more accurately "side-stepped" via the alternate universe plot device. This has MANY original series fans up in arms, to which I say, "so what." This film is so enjoyable, and stands so well on its own, that I really did not care about the changes Abrahm's made. It did more than enough to satisfy the old Trek fan in me, while recreating the excitement and optimism I felt when I walked out of The Wrath of Khan nearly 27 years ago (god has it been THAT LONG!) Let's face it... the old film franchise had being beaten like dead horta - I mean horse - when they resorted to putting both Kirk and Picard on the screen at the same time to woo fans from both Treks. They even dropped the biggest emotional bomb imaginable in this film, and it still tanked. War weary fans were thrown a bone with First Contact, but it's hard to screw up a film with Borg in it (though they came close with the Data-Traitor plot device.) Insurrection finally nailed the lid on the coffin, and Nemesis buried it. We all breathed a sigh of relief. At last, no more Trek travesties for the sake of money. I was cautiously optimistic about this new Trek, and though critics gave it rave reviews, die-hard fans were panning it. Well, over the years I've learned to ignore critics AND fans, and just go to the movies with no expectations. This film fulfilled every expectation I had, and breathed in the NECESSARY life required to jump start a new Star Trek mythos. When TNG first debuted, it had armies of detractors. The initial character development was shaky, the scripts were weak, and many fans of TOS simply refused to watch it. Eventually, though, the series stood firmly on its own. The characters grew, the stories improved, and TNG created a new Trek universe while never disrespecting the TOS. Many of the detractors (myself included) were forced to admit we were wrong, and I eventually grew to enjoy TNG with nearly the same level of appreciation that I had for TOS. Today, I am proud... very proud to have been witness to the birth of the infant son of Star Trek, and I suspect anyone who "dares it to do better" than TOS will eventually be forced to appreciate the magnitude by which it WILL do better. I, like Captain Pike, haven't a doubt in my mind.… Expand

I enjoy the idea of a time/alternate reality scenario, the idea that there is a chance with bright future in a bright world [light], and the fact that someone understands that there is no sound in space.

Sure, there were some shocking alterations (big understatement) to the continuum, but this movie was both "true Trek" and yet just as enjoyable for non-fans (my wife, as anti-SciFi as they come, wants to go see it again, and we go to the theaters like twice/year). Anybody calling it 'implausible' must be in the non-Trek crowd, as they have never witnessed "Spock's Brain" or "We've come to find our whale-friends by destroying all in our path" ST IV or Transwarp Paris and his lizard girlfriend or ... well, you get the picture. Implausible and "breaks canon" is rote for Trek and the genre in general. This is about as clean a reboot as you could hope for, giving Trek a fresh start with lots of potential (character's and stories both), and was a pleasure to experience. Thanks J.J.… Expand

I'm still exhilarated at the pure awesomeness of it. Some nitpick here and there (manic editing, contrived coincidences, rushed expositions), but it's all forgiven. Great adventure flick, and totally and utterly Star Trek. The cast nailed the character in a way I couldn't think possible, and the production values are superb. Excellent musical score. A fast-paced trip into the wonderful unknown, gut-wrenching but at the same time incredibly satisfying. JJ Abrams is my new hero. Wow.… Expand

My only experience with Star Trek was watching the original series on NBC when I was a teenager, it was ok but not exactly must see tv and not being a trekkie i've never seen a Star Trek movie, until I learned J.J. Abrams was directing a pre-quel to them all. I caved and saw the new Star Trek in IMAX today and it is a brand new perfect summer blockbuster that will restart a franchise for many years to come. The casting of all the characters is absolutely brilliant. Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin and Zoe Saldana are all assured lucrative careers if they only work in the next 6 or 7 sequels this movie will generate, and I'll be waiting for them, now that I'm a trekkie!! Bravo Mr. Abrams!… Expand
