Despite some odd choices (new aliens, lens flares everywhere), Star Trek is a bold kick in the spacepants that will revive the franchise for sure. Slick, sexy, spectacular. Not super deep, but enough winks to the other series for hardcore fans and great entertainment value for new viewers. Keeps a nice pace so the audience won't find time to get bored, and the cast really nails their roles (with only Chekov as a weakish link). I'll be there for the 2nd movie for sure!

The "Star Trek" movie that alienates trekkies for the sake of mass appeal, and it definitely is appealing. This movie has a ton of action, and a generally exciting, and, at many times, a funny plot. While the average person may find this movie very entertaining, the "Star Trek" fan will find the deviation from reality in past movies unsettling. Regardless of the artistic license taken in this movie, I definitely look forward to see where they take the franchise next.

I had plenty of reservations going into this film, but Abrams seems to have navigated the core genres equally: comedy, action and adventure, to spin a fun tale that never lets up. This series (I'm going to safely assume a sequel or two) will never ever be the original series, but then again, it doesn't try to be, either. This is the same universe for a new generation. And while acknowledging the past with a wink and a nudge, this iteration rightly sets its sights on the future.

This was a hard franchise to reboot, as it had to satisfy purists as well as make it work for new audiences. But what Abrams did here was great: getting rid of the silly parts of Trek (technobabble) while infusing it with cooler things (younger actors). An honest complaint is that the script's Campbellian story structure gives it more of a Star Wars tone. But that's a minor distraction as the picture still includes the Trek heart of turning workplace diversity into friendship. Good fun!

The flagship space opera covered as an arena rock ballad. It's full of cliche and callbacks (even the Saturday morning cartoon gets a nod) and pulls the easiest heartstrings (parents get killed) but damn if it isn't entertaining to watch James T. Kirk being born again into a tentpole action blockbuster. I dig that his personality contrasts in a timeline where he never knows his father. Abrams' urgent pacing is apropo to the premise of having been too late to save the day.

Just when you thought this franchise was down and out it knocks one right out of the park. It might not be the smartest, but damn if it isn't the most fun Star Trek in years. Great cast, good story, superb directing, and a galaxy of fun. If this is the future of Star Trek, then consider me a trekkie.

There are a few things which make this movie that good: first of all the fact that one doesn't need any knowledge of previous star trek films, which makes it enjoyable for everyone. Second of all, it just looks awesome, everything from the make up and costumes to the CGI effects is quite perfect. Next to that the acting performances are great. Last but not least the story itself is quite amazing at times, but it's a good thing they didn't take it too serious(funny at times). Just a great film!

Without understanding all the references and all the trekkie humour nothing but a mediocre movie is left. The acting is nothing but average even though the cast fits pretty good concerning their looks. The art department gave the enterprise quite a flashy style update while the special effects aren't overly impressive compared to what could be seen in very recent film history. 07/05/09

I liked it better the second time around, perhaps because I've since caught up with the previous films. It's the best of the bunch. Nice-looking, with a sense of humour and a terrific cast, the only complaint is that it suffers from origin story establishing syndrome, though it balances introduction and fan-pleasing very well. Thanks in part to great pacing, it's over all too quickly and forgettable baddie Bana seems to hardly be in it at all. Nevertheless, a franchise is reborn and I want more.

This jumpstarted my Star Trek fandom since I could never get into the universe before and thought it was too campy/boring compared to Star Wars. JJ Abrams really did a great job with a self-contained story. Why shouldn't space military---yes, I know---be more actiony? I remember being annoyed at how quickly Kirk ascended. The sequels didn't capture as much of my attention. Fav scene: the beginning chase toward the ravine and the western setting was like Firefly.

"Star Trek" is one definite crowd-pleaser. It's smothered with action, humor, strong actors, and been gifted with a fun, if sometimes complicated, storyline. Somehow the filmmakers have managed to take what the franchise used to be, keep all the familiar elements and make them refreshing and ultimately pretty darn cool. This Enterprise trip works best when the actors really carry their weight, and they're usually spot-on in making "Trek" accessible, funny, crisp, and thrilling.

Better than the later Star Trek movies for sure. I really enjoyed the new direction all the sets and design took. It looked futuristic but still not as advanced as in The Next Generation. However there are a few gripes, there are a few action sequences that are utterly pointless and could've been removed, lens flare is the name of the game and some of the personal drama was just so over-the-top it was ridiculous. With all that said it's still damn fun, Jim.

Gotta love the gleeful destruction of canon -- this movie goes so far as to nullify the original adventures of Roddenberry's Kirk and co. Understands the only way to do a space opera is with a touch of tongue-in-cheek swashbuckling and everyone in the cast is game. An admirable attempt to update a property that had become so ingrained in the popular culture that it had lost the ability to impart meaning; this Star Trek, at the very least, feels like a product of today.

Chris Pine is this generation's Mark Hamill. Cast into an iconic role as a beautiful young man only to age very poorly and look like holy hell by the time the third movie is released. There's a reason he wears a beard now. A bold prediction, but I've been right before. After Patrick Swayze died in 2009 (the year we lost Michael Jackson) my wife asked me who would be a celebrity to die that would make me shrug, and I prophetically answered Brittany Murphy. I wish that was made up. It isn't.

Sue me. I think it’s the best Star Trek movie. This whole franchise had its ups and downs, but this one kicked off my interest in the whole franchise. Abrams handled this amazingly well. It feels in line with an already established universe, but it feels so fresh and it’s extremely well paced and acted. A funny, heartfelt, visually amazing game changer. Watch it, even if you’re not a Trekkie.

a trek movie which feels more like star wars than star trek. fast paced action, unyielding tempo and some light-hearted scenes makes this the pop corn movie of the year. it's good that all the cast members got their deserved spotlights, although spock (rightfully) steals much of the show. but the bottomline is, it has nothing innovative or groundbreaking that could be expected from a franchise that pretty much owns the sci fi world.

As my first introduction (beyond the mainstream knowledge) to the Star Trek franchise.. This was largely impressive and entirely engulfing. I felt instantly at home and instantly connected to all the characters. Abrams has done some serious good here, the cast is near perfect and yes, there are flaws, but.. This is looking to be maybe even the best summer blockbuster of the year. I can't wait to see more of this and I finally feel inclined to get into the Trek-world. Thank you, Abrams, for this.

After reading multiple sources of positie reception for this unexpectedly good revival for the series, I made the decision to see it. Although it didn't fully satisfy my expectations, Star Trek is a spectacular comeback and impact on all of the Trekkies fans that gradually hyped it up. Everybody is perfect as the old USS Enterprise crew of the past, especially Spock. Sure it has a deal of inconsistencies and genuinely annoying flaws, but Abrams's vision will be remembered for quite some time.

This is not Star Trek, this is Alterna Trek. From that point of view its quite entertaining. The fun and adventure of TOS is present, with a boost of energy. Some of the characterisations are cringe inducing (Wuck you, Weckov!), including a cardboard villain, but the Kirk-Spock-McCoy triumvirate is solid with a touch of the original magic. Pegg is fun as Scottie, even with limited time. The romance: WTF?! The story could be better, hopefully the sequels are more inspired and a little deeper.

Unafraid to admit that J.J. has made me a Trekkie again. Marked out for this big time; any imperfections were glossed over at the prospect of seeing a fresh take on the material & the rejuvenation of a series which has meant a lot to television and, to a lesser extent, film. The appearance of Nimoy, while seen as some I'm sure as a cheap pop to appease hardcore Trek fans, really worked for me. The film employs a strong mix of established stars and young talent. Very complete film; Abrams' best.

This is an enjoyable and cleverly-concocted adventure, thereby forming an immediate contrast with any previous TREK incarnation that I have encountered. The casting seems right and the relations between the central characters well-handled. The overarching feeling of knowing amusement indicates this is blockbuster filmmaking at its canniest (with everything that implies, though perhaps not quite as canny as AVATAR), even if it perhaps does not quite sustain the energy until the conclusion.

Arguably the best Star Trek movie, JJ Abrams really honored the franchise with *gasp* a legit reboot (maybe the first in the history of film). The actors were from good to great in both honoring and adding to the roles that are already well established. It was nice to see special effects make the battles between ships what we only wished they could have been in the past shows/movies. After the movie ended I wanted the sequel to start up because it pumped me up so much. Exceeded my expectations.

Top badass moment? Realising that like fake news, you can have fake Star Trek too. The fake old Spock was very convincing though, I must say. Like a MTV nightmare, the lens flares, earthquake cam and runningaroundalotforthesakeofit made me pine for the good old days of Next Generation human interest stories, where nothing actually happens. This film is wrong on so many (technobabble) levels, but somehow it’s still jolly entertaining. How annoying is that? No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

I'm not sure how to score this. This is not Star Trek. This is a blockbuster action fanfic, much of which seems inspired by Star Wars. Gene Roddenberry must be turning in his grave. Nevertheless, it probably is the most widely appealing Star Trek title produced, which I suppose is worth something. It succeeded where Nemesis and Enterprise failed - rebooting the series into something that appealed to a wider audience. Also, the film seemed to shamelessly trade logic for imagery and adrenaline.

There's something quite extrodinary about this film that I can't quite put my finger on. As a Trek fan, it ticks all the boxes; cast is spot on, plot is pretty good, special effects are outstanding. Chris Pine is spot on as Kirk and oozes the sex appeal that Shatner had in the original series...hasn't been given credit for his brilliant perfoemance. I didn't expect that this film would be just brilliant. The best Trek film by far. I just loved it.

Well I'll be damned; this thing was pretty great! I can't believe it. It should be known that I have no interest in or attachment to any of the previous incarnations of this franchise, so I came in completely fresh and expecting zilch. I thought Abrams and his crew did a great job at contemporizing the characters in a way that engaged non-fans like me. The movie's pacing was surprisingly quick, but it did not sacrifice any of the character development in the process. Classic summer popcorn movie

Skeptical to the moment I walked into the theater, I was prepared for disaster. Suddenly, the film opened with some vintage Trek porn, the camera swooping gracefully around a Federation starship.

J.J. Abrams does what should be done to any iconic piece of pop culture and spins it in a new direction, and I love that they explain this away with an alternate reality. It ventures into Star Wars territory at times in terms of action, but that's not necessarily bad. The cast is all-around fantastic, perfectly capturing the spirit of the old crew. It is the characters that truly make this movie. Each person shines as bright as all those lens flares.

This first film in the new rebooted Star Trek universe was an enjoyable watch that had every science cliche squashed into a single movie. Black holes, doomsday weapon, enormous enemy warship, time travel, alternate history and seeing young versions of memorable characters interact with an older version of themselves. Good cast of characters who are engaging to watch but the main villain was poor. A diversion to visit Spock for an info dump, although necessary, negatively affects the films pacing

Mediocre cinematography (see: lens flares and camera shaking), acting, and writing ought to rightfully bring this score down. However, as it stands, I found it quite enjoyable in spite of its flaws. The literal alternate universe allows Abrams to play off and homage the original with impunity. The sci-fi art design is wonderful. The action, story, and character dynamics intrigue and entertain. It's not deep or intelligent, but it is loads of fun.

Abrams has done Star Trek justice and while this movie has some beautiful special effects which only help it soar in the entertainment department, it does have some flaws.

Typical Abrams, to its detriment. Uninteresting, abrasive characters in the midst of a bad story that has a cult following. The Star Trek universe still comes across as treacherous and claustrophobic, with nothing pleasant to offer viewers, and it's not thrilling either thanks to the weak characters. The "humor" is painful and the callbacks to the old series are tiring. Bana makes a good, substantial villain and Pegg adds some life to the film too, but it's not enough. Nice effects though.

The reboot that this franchise seemingly needed, Star Trek (2009) is very good. Wether it's the Pine/Quinto duo and their excellent performances of the iconic Kirk/Spok characters, the solid screenwriting, or the amazing effects and direction that Abrams brought. There isn't a whole lot not to like here.

Damn fun movie! No one will mistake it for intellectually ambitious science fiction, but what it is is action-adventure spit-shined to Hollywood summer movie perfection. As a lifelong Star Wars hardcore I'm embarrassed at how much more muscular, witty, energetic, and fun this movie is than the whole prequel trilogy put together. A generic villain and haphazardly bombastic score are the only blemishes. This, Batman Begins, and Casino Royale together form the 00s Trilogy of Reboot Greatness.

My first experience with this franchise. As such I have no frame of reference - nostalgic loyalty, cynical reservation, or otherwise. You can imagine then, how annoying it is to face a constant barrage of knowing self-reference, of smarmy winks-and-nods. It's insufferable schlock full of bad humor, set pieces which test patience, and a blatantly unlikable protagonist. It seems the only legs this movie can stand on are half a century of rabid fandom. Forget about any scripting or filmic aptitude.

As a massive Trek fan I certainly had my reservations going into this. Abrams quickly dispels them however. From the monumental opening scene Abrams Trek is a visual and Trekkie treat! Rightly encompassing a plot that has its feet firmly grounded in old Trek lore, Abrams & Co breathe life into a franchise I care deeply about. There are a few minor plot niggles, & certain things that I noticed as a Trekkie that irritated me, but certainly won't bother a normal person! All in all, supurb

Fun blockbuster that pays homage to the original series. For fans the origin of the characters is well-told, but beyond that it's not much more than an effects-heavy action flick. If I wasn't a fan who could appreciate the superb realization of the original team by new actors and the injokes, there wouldn't have been much substance here to enjoy. The inevitable sequel should be interesting, as there isn't much story left to tell between the end of this movie and the start of the original series.

I have never been a Star Trek fan before. I have never liked any of the TV shows or the movies. But I enjoyed this movie. It was a fresh new perspective and entertaining. I enjoyed the cast.

They've managed to modernize it while still keeping that precious nerdish vibe the whole way through and also paying homage to the old series.

Haven't watched the movies or tv shows, so my knowledge of Star Trek trivia is quite small, but lucky for me it isn't required info. The type of action you'd expect from a franchise as big as this, with the story that doesn't disappoint. Some characters were a lil too much, but the fast pace and engaging story more than makes up for them.

Though its been called a film that can appeal to both fans and those with no prior experience with the Star Trek universe, most of the fun comes from in-jokes and homage to the original series. The first half of the film excels, but the villain really lets us down. Once the characters are set, the story is fairly straight forward, predictable and unexceptional in the intellectual department. Based off a series featuring such smart storytelling; one can't help but be a little disappointed.

The visual effects are stunning (especially on IMax). JJ Abrams created a 'glossy' feel to the film that works in its favour. Special kudos goes to Karl Eomer Urban who pulls off a stunningly accurate Bones. I felt let down by Nero, the charactor played by Eric Bana. He came across as a completely two dimensional charactor in a movie so rich with dimensions. I wanted to see a nemesis that you could get your teeth into, not one that you felt that was in the way of a good story as Nero did.

A heck of a lot of fun. Pine, Urban, and Pegg shine in their roles, the rest of the cast is decent. But above all the script manages to capture the idealism, humor, and reckless adventure that made the original series so enjoyable.

The greatest Lens Flare movie of all!... I owe J.J. Abrams an apology because with this movie he has made a better Spielberg-movie, than Spielberg has since Indy 3. I've never liked Star Trek (or given it a chance before) but this movie is just too charming and well made for me to hate it... Even though the whole "aliens look like humans except from funny ears"-thing IS a dumb reminiscence from the old series...

J.J. Abrams knows how to put together a good movie, especially one with this weak of a script. Gaping, gaping plot holes aside (Why didn't they shoot down the planet-mining things from the planet?) it's a ton of fun. It's probably more enjoyable for a Star Trek fan, which I am not.

I felt the universe reset was tedious an unnecessary, but the notorious Trekkies wouldn't have settled for anything less. The casting was perfect and the film in general was brilliant, with plety of throw-backs to the old show for fans. This is how film remakes of old shows should be done.

Typical hollywood plot pitfalls and deus ex machinas the movie descends into after one-third time mark aside, you have to admire the true geek love for the material that is seeping from every corner. There's very good characterization, not too shabby visual effects serving a purpose and a tight directing. Only the plot can't quite carry it all on the same level.

The only soft point of Star Trek is the weak plot and the absence of a philosophical background, but thats outweighed by the pacing and action superior to any other of the Star Trek movies and the successful re-introduction of the original Enterprise crew - with the clever ploy that Star Trek is now taking place in an alternate timeline, allowing further modernisations and deviances from the original series - and a continuation of the franchise into directions where no man has gone before.

I am the only person alive who does not love this movie. Hollywood action flicks have grown a bit long in the tooth for me, and the usual things you expect from them like amazing special effects aren't present here (they're merely average). The set designs, however, were great, especially in the Enterprise. Go see it - you'll love it. I have no particular good reasons for not loving it; I just don't.

A fast-paced, often hilarious, but always invigorating action/sci-fi mashup film with some of the most accurate, excellent casting in a movie I've seen in years. Each actor embodies the character he or she is playing perfectly, mixing attributes of the originals with new, interesting details.

Awesome. I'm familiar with the original series but don't consider myself a "fan", so I was pretty happy to see the way this new Trek flick totally pitches the entire pre-existing Star Trek canon out the window in the opening minutes. The writing (both story and dialog) is clever and the action is fast paced and exciting. Looking forward to more adventures with this fun Enterprise crew.

Absolutely stunning! Whether you are a Trek fan or not, this is a great and exciting thrill ride for all. The effects are top notch, making you actually feel like they filmed these scenes in space, and the action is very engaging, but more importantly, the character moments give us wonderful glimpses into the people who will eventually form one of the most beloved crews of all time. Top notch performances from all and plenty of humor.

Brilliant. So brilliant. I wasn't a Trekkie before seeing this film; I knew next to nothing, and I've actually heard that's one of the best ways to go into this film. I loved every moment of this movie-- the acting was amazing, the casting was perfect, and it was surprisingly very funny. I will definitely be checking out all the series now. I'm addicted. :'D

Take some basic Star Trek elements, mix'em up together with summer blockbuster elements and you've got the new Star Trek. If I judge it on its own, it's an okay movie and a very enjoyable one too. If I judge it compared to the best of Star Trek, it's a big step backwards in quality. Sure, it's action heavy and full of eye candy, but there's also very little substance. Star Trek is (was) a lot more than Kirk, Spock a bit of McCoy and a ship called Enterprise, but Abrams seems to think otherwise.

i disliked the tv show bc i was a star wars kid growing up, and waiting for a random phaser or photon missile was simply not enough. i went into this movie not expecting much, excepting a solid bunch of reviews from people with whom i tend to agree in terms of films. the ultra-cool kirk character had me thinking i was in for the standard hollywood action film, but once kirk and spock began interacting, things took off. the interactions bw the two single-handedly carried the film.

I had never been exposed to Star Trek in any form but I truly enjoyed this film. Strong cast (Zachary Quinto & Chris Pine especially impressive), exciting action sequences and tight pacing throughout. JJ Abrams seems to rehash this time travel/alternate universe concept quite often (Fringe, Lost, Felicity) but it enables artistic liberties that ensures the franchise is fresh and relevant for a generation of new fans. Solid popcorn movie that leaves you wanting more.

I understand the very hard task of introducing this infamous franchise with all its nerd labeled baggage to the new audience without alienating the old faithful one. But this is no excuse for plot holes, scientific wtfs, unnecessary sexiness and all other crap akin to Transformers. I love Trek, I understand and appreciate the need to move on and revive the franchise, and I am ready for anything served with Trek label. But I am not blind. 15 for the effort, 50 for Nimoy and love of Trek.

As a self-proclaimed Trekkie, I was worried about watching this film with a large of all my non-Trekkie friends. While I was able to understand certain references that slipped past my normie friends, I can say with certainty that everyone in the group, including me, enjoyed this film equally. -2 points for product placement.

I actively dislike Star Trek in general (I think in all its incarnations it epitomises the failings of TV sci-fi), and I think that heightened my enjoyment of this. It's fantastically paced, exciting, tense, and confident in its own ability to tell a story. Sure the plot makes no sense, the science is complete shit (Spock's exposition dump was particularly baffling), and much of the action is contrived, but it's an action movie, and those aren't the things you judge an action movie on.

The plot is silly as shit in many ways and insanely contrived in many others, but as a sci-fi action thriller it does its job well and is supported by a good cast and likable characters. It's definitely no high quality space drama, but for what it is it's quite enjoyable so long as you don't set your expectations for it too high.

Star Trek is reborn in a lens-flared explosion of bad plots. Kurtzman and Orci continue to knock out poor scripts, but Abrams and the cast work valiantly to bring it to life. The film skips along at a fast enough pace that you will only question the plot holes after it's over and the cast all perform admirably in their roles. It's a dumbed-down action movie in Star Trek clothing with very little substance to it, but there's enough there to enjoy if you want a sci-fi adventure movie.

Very fun action movie. Forgoes interesting moral and philosophical dilemmas for more explosions. A winning choice for a film clearly trying to appeal to a much wider audience than the original Star Trek television shows.
