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!
18	Luna6ix	87 _93rd
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!
7	Prophet92	100 _99th
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.
7	Hawkins	87 _84th
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.
6	KasperL	80 _86th
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.
6	KlausGlenski	60 _29th
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
6	Wiche	88 _92nd
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!
6	BillyShears	90 _92nd
Set phasers to FUN ending mind meld with Gene Shalit A great tribute to the original series, all the characters are spot on (I just got sad over Chekov) and just like a good chunk of the series the villain is stupid.
5	doctor7	78 _68th
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.
5	MJVmovieMan	90 _93rd
"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.
5	theficionado	50 _48th
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.
5	INDYATMN	95 _96th
The changes made 2 pull in skateboarders & Gossip girls r a little disheartening: the film strip-malls its iconic characters in2 something much less distinct: Kirk has gone from being a responsible officer w/ somewhat of a maverick streak 2 becoming Top Gun'sMaverick; & while Spock still mostly keeps his Vulcan cool, he's also prone to flying in2 Wolverine-like rages if you insult his mother. AND YET, action flicks this fun & well crafted are rare & u'd have 2 force urself not 2 enjoy this one.
5	Leonardis	95 _85th
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.
5	Paxton	70 _63rd
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.
5	BeeDub	92 _84th
Eschews any aspirations of high-minded social commentary in favor of delivering a rollicking good time, and succeeds admirably. Highly energetic and entertaining film that honors the franchise's past while firmly establishing its own identity. Bravo, JJ.
5	nobamba	75 _83rd
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.
4	cagedwisdom	100 _90th
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.
4	frederic_g54	6 _35th
Like a second hand gadget: fancy and arousing at the start but one that gradually breaks down. This was the first time I saw anything related to Star Trek, and I'm not convinced. 96 on rottentomatoes, jeeesh, next time I'm following my guts.
4	td888	90 _95th
I grew up with the original series and have seen all the spin-offs and previous movies. Some were good, some were (very) bad. Well, this one blew my mind. This is utterly fun and an enjoyment to watch. Finally a movie which I can place in my T10. Unlike the last Indiana Jones, I welcome this long lost friend.
4	andayb	50 _27th
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.
4	TonythePony	71 _57th
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.
4	Jeb	91 _82nd
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.
3	djross	60 _62nd
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.
3	lrampartl	29 _8th
You know, if this was a movie standing on its own two feet, and there had never been any Star Trek franchise before this, would anybody care?
3	Pickpocket	4 _35th
The only thing that really blew me away was the art direction and Simon Pegg. What's all the fuss about again? It's really poorly written and plus they utilized the annoying shaky handy cam like their lives depended on it. And goddamn Hollywood, let a scene develop!! All these edits are making me nauseous.
3	saucyjack	88 _83rd
Really impressive reboot that feels more entertaining than any other Star Trek film I've seen. Really feels like a modern version of Star Wars for adults with superb special effects and extremely entertaining set pieces. One of the most entertaining "blockbusters" in recent memory. Highly recommended.
3	hellsditch	84 _81st
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
3	SarahG1988	94 _81st
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.
3	TheRealJ-Ro	90 _93rd
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.
3	somnivore	85 _54th
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.
3	WWallce4prez	76 _62nd
Maybe Trekkies feel like the saga has made a dreadful turn, but the rest of us feel like a dying series just became watchable again. There are major flaws to this blockbuster, but it's hard to complain when I had this much fun. Abrams should have listed "lens flare" as a cast member...
3	Melvin Smif	80 _88th
Great Sci-Fi fun! Everyone slid smoothly into thier roles, better than I had hoped (the casting directors earned thier pay). This flick has a great mix of action, comedy, and a plot that twists things up so liberties can be taken in the future with this new Star Trek universe.
3	SirStuckey	90 _94th
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.
3	DavidBlast	95 _96th
Bringing back that oh-so-rare "Indiana Jones" feeling, Star Trek is a perfectly paced genesis-story, that doesn't just rejuvenate the franchise, but raises the bar to unprecedented heights. By far the best Star Trek movie out there and arguably the best movie of 2009.
3	SpikyCactus	85 _90th
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.
2	eveelun	79 _72nd
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.
2	Actionberg	70 _49th
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. My blackened heart melted. Paramount has got me by the balls until the end of time. If the whole film was as brilliantly composed as that emotional opening scene, it would have been greater than it is.
2	terrymac	76 _75th
Rips along at a fair old pace, enjoyable stuff. I'd certainly be interested to see what direction this series takes from here.
2	x-human	73 _38th
Eh, wasn't too impressed. The plot's pretty dumb and character arches aren't any better. The execution of it was very solid, and I think there's great possibilities for the sequel, but I'm not going to go out of my way to ever see it again. It was better than Insurrection, that's about all I can say for it.
2	Kavu	83 _79th
I can forgive a couple of bad scenes and illogicalities when the rest is so entertaining. Who would've thought that even the comic bits are actually funny?
2	Ytadel	8 _93rd
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.
2	Nathan S	1 _6th
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.
2	CinematicESP	94 _94th
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.
2	PeaceAnarchy	79 _57th
Fun action film with a few plot holes but nothing big enough to keep me from enjoying it. I have no previous experience with Star Trek so I can't really say if it's faithful to its origins but it stands on its own pretty well.
2	evrana	76 _62nd
I'm not a big fan of space-opera genre; I hate that "ovedeveloped in some areas underdeveloped in other areas" feeling of their world (people that roam space which still need wheelchairs for example) but I must admit that this movie was better than I expected. It flows very smoothly and was able to evoke emotions in me that I didn't expect it to do. Decent.
2	Anomaly	83 _81st
An absolute blast, what most blockbusters aspire to but few reach. Enjoyable enough to ignore some flaws, and a satisfying experience. The sequel needs more Simon Pegg in it.
2	emtilt	61 _45th
I had some fun watching it. But why is that romance in there? It's underdeveloped and does absolutely nothing for the film.
2	JMBosch	79 _63rd
A very solid cast. Story typical of the genre, even including the end-of-2nd-act exposition from the wise character. Overuse of shakey-cam and especially their special star-trekky lens flares. Fun, engaging sci-fi action-adventure with some solid laughs. Good basis to launch a new series on, as i'm sure they will.
2	Jarmann	92 _95th
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.
2	muutanet	69 _63rd
I'm not a Star Trek fan, never been, but I wished from this new path I would find something more interestingness than I did. The idea (while they change the entire cast) to go back to past of USS Enterprise was nice. I also liked visuals and the enemy ship, but the comical extension was a bit too much for me.
2	Philip	60 _35th
SHIT HAPPENING ALL THE TIME BIG CAR CHASE EXPLOSIONS HOT ALIEN SEX ICE MONSTER MORE EXPLOSIONS TIME TRAVEL BIG FUCKING EXPLOSION THE END!!!!!111!!
2	KMcNeil	7 _70th
If they had cut out Chekov, the romance and some unnecessary short scenes at the beginning, this would have been a superb sci-fi blockbuster. As it stands it's merely very good. Great specials effects, a simple, coherent storyline was some solid performances from Pine, Quinto and Pegg. Uh. And Karl Urban! I couldn't name one single movie that couldn't use more Karl Urban!
2	miss jesus	38 _18th
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.
2	whatismyname	75 _88th
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.
2	chinster	90 _83rd
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.
2	Saintes	95 _84th
I'm not Trekkie, I'm big Star Wars fan, but this movie was... cool, really. I like it.
2	Cahadras1	92 _89th
bombastic science fiction ambiance
2	XakkMaster	74 _49th
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.
2	omgfridge	7 _65th
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. Mainly surrounding the script as at times it feels a little dumb. Some characters make better use of their screen time then others. Ultimately it is a good movie and you'll more than likely have fun watching it.
2	BlaineMC	100 _94th
every actor in this movie knew his lines plus the ships and explosions were freakin' cool
2	Okkervil	83 _88th
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
2	leekenn	91 _94th
This film is so well put together it's almost a joke. To put it in perspective, I've always hated Star Trek, but this is one of my favorite films of all time. They really managed to capture the sense of duty and pride of a young person joining the military, and combined with the brilliant action scenes, this film is just so damn good. Perhaps not the deepest film you'll ever see, but one of the most exciting and all out entertaining.
2	mwgerb	63 _73rd
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.
2	FrederikA	90 _96th
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...
2	misterlizard	75 _79th
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.
2	myfavchords	77 _61st
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.
2	Minorsage	30 _15th
You can't make Spock a super emotional wuss. I don't care what else you do. If you get Spock wrong, you're doing it all wrong.
2	brandons	93 _96th
Star Trek reignites a classic franchise with action, humor, a strong story, and brilliant visuals, and will please traditional Trekkies and new fans alike.
2	Matija D	88 _92nd
TWOK & this are by far best ST movies made.
2	Dakota99	8 _88th
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. J.J brought something that the old heads that crave their lore and their fandom to, and the fun, upbeat fun that excited new comers and the younger generations. Quite impressive.
2	JackRyan2014	65 _65th
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
1	silencer	92 _90th
Outstanding!!!
1	MartinTeller	60 _17th
Abrams seems to want to have his cake and eat it too, throwing all kinds of bones to the fans while simultaneously rebooting the franchise with an alternate reality plotline. That's fine for fans, I suppose. To me, it was a very run of the mill action film, lots of "GO! GO! GO!" scenes and other clichés. I was engaged enough to keep watching, but not enough to really give a shit. Sleek and flashy with a few good character moments, popcorn entertainment that doesn't have much heart or soul in it.
1	amosmike95	82 _80th
An amazing suprise.
1	DavidKahane	89 _81st
They've managed to reboot the franchise without discarding the material that has come before, deftly utilizing a standard sci fi tactic that was used and abused by Trek scripters over the years. In the conception, in the casting, in the details of the script, the filmmakers walk the fine line between homage and reinvention, tapping into the familiar elements of characters and storylines, but rarely relying on pure nostalgia to carry a scene. And it's all pulled off with marvelous charm.
1	grimace98	30 _17th
This isn't Star Trek, it's Michael Bay treacle for the hivemind.
1	AgentSnipe	89 _96th
Faster, cooler, and more fun than almost any of the Star Trek movies I've seen. Movie technology has finally caught up Captain Kirk & his crew and they finally get a true, romping space adventure. It's also worth mentioning how well the actors of this movie were cast as younger versions of the Star Trek crew everyone grew up with. Real star-making turns for Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto.
1	max22	100 _91st
Works like gangbusters on pretty much every conceivable level -- I've got a laundry list of things I love about this movie. I'm not even that big of a Star Trek fan; like "Batman Begins" was for Batman, this year's "Star Trek" is the great Star Trek movie I never knew I really wanted.
1	TheDenizen	85 _91st
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.

GET HIGH AND ENJOY THIS TRIBUTE TO OLD-SCHOOL STAR TREK SERIES
1	Jherman89	85 _84th
It is beyond difficult to reinvent a franchise for the mainstream audience while not upsetting the hardcore fanbase. JJ Abrams has surpassed all expectations with his own adaption of the Star Trek universe. Its was a fun and memorable movie throughout. What really got me though, was the dead on casting of all the characters. I throughouly enjoyed seeing Simon Pegg in this movie more than anything. A great popcorn action flick.
1	Kojiless	78 _82nd
All the scenes featuring the 'older' Spock seem forced and tacked on, there are some ridiculous technological blunders, and I still don't see why no one thought to destroy the drill... But other than that, the movie was fairly entertaining (more entertaining than at least 75% of the other ST movies)
1	nataskaos	88 _87th
This is a genre defining film. Don't be fooled by any pretenders; this might be the best sci-fi film ever made.
1	PirateJason	86 _81st
Finally! What Star Trek should have been all along. Star Wars with better characters and writing.

"The sexy new Star Trek". I don't really know why it was necessary to advertise this installment (reboot?) in such a fashion. At it's core, it's not really breaking any new ground for the series. The effects are great, the comedic timing is nice, and the acting overall isn't too bad. But everything all seems to easy after the characters are established. This is also to say nothing of the lifeless Eric Bana villain. Overall it's a decent movie. But don't be fooled, because it's nothing new.

I've never been a big fan of the Star Trek series, but I've never ignored it either. I would check it out, it was always alright. But with what JJ Abrams did with this franchise is something I can get behind. This was pretty much a straight forward thrill ride that had me on the edge of my seat at times. Of course, everyone got their little catch phrases in, which was kind of funny. Very good acting and awesome special effects with a decent story and Leonard Nimoy make this a must watch.
1	auritech	50 _39th
As a person who doesn't care the least bit about Star Trek and its universe, this movie, to me, was just great looking fan service. In fact, the fan service is what makes me score the movie the way I did, as it is simply for the fans, and not for me. There have been Star Trek films I've liked (Wrath of Khan and The Voyage Home), but they've both been for cheesy fun. This wasn't cheesy, it was just underwhelming. And the Nimoy scenes were hideously forced. Sorry.
1	timmo	80 _45th
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.
1	Herbert Eder (ItsVery.net)	80 _75th
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.
1	turin	45 _16th
Lot's of explosions and F/X. If that's what you're looking for, and you are also a S-T fan, you're guaranteed to enjoy it. For almost everyone else it's an MTV sequence of cliches.
1	gogokain	70 _73rd
The guys who wrote Transformers wrote THIS? Even if it has a few questionable, but forgivable, plot devices, it's a smart way to reboot the series without really rebooting it. Some of the dialogue is a bit hokey, but everyone makes it believable (save Nimoy, sadly) with really solid performances, the highlight being Urban, who makes you forget that he's not actually Kelley. Somehow Into Darkness makes me retroactively enjoy it less, though.
1	cowfrappe	82 _91st
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.
1	Derekstar	80 _68th
Let's be serious for a moment. Best Star Trek movie, easily. Yes, even better than Wrath of Khan. It's a fun roller-coaster ride, and never boring. It's well acted, well executed, and a joy to watch. Just fun. The lad who plays McCoy is probably the weakest link, since he was the only one doing an impression of his predecessor. What's up with that? Anyways, I'm looking forward to sequel, and I NEVER look forward to sequels.
1	Alex Watkins	3 _38th
Pretty sleek sci-fi actioner, though as time goes by I have less and less patience for the reboot story which is invariably packed with wink-wink nod-nod moments of "Hey! Recognize this?" that are annoying even for (perhaps especially for) somebody who doesn't have any familiarity with the property. Still, minor complaint, as this is quite entertaining. And fuck yeah, "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys!
1	weirdyoda	88 _79th
An incredible first half, and a really solid sci-fi actioner second half. The entire cast is unbelievably cool. Who knew Chekov was so awesome? Easily the most entertaining Trek film I've ever seen
1	Farzan	88 _87th
Up until seeing this, I have never seen anything Star Trek. I was the adamant Star Wars fan (what are Star Wars fans called if Trek fans are Trekkies?). After viewing the film, and seeing the characters interact; I immediately felt it necessary to purchase and view the original series. I think that is a testament to what Abrams created here. To create a film so entertaining and enthralling that he was able to turn me from a non-fan to an instant fan. Non-stop entertainment.
1	Bojangles	50 _38th
I don't know or care what happened in this movie and the soundtrack was by the numbers, but the visuals were amazing. Lens flares are given their reparations for past Hollywood oppression.
1	ephedrin	65 _66th
Somewhere over the black hole way up high... (Please study quantum mechanics before watching this movie.)
1	Alquimista	100 _95th
One of the best space operas around and an amazing reinvention of the original concept. Brilliant cast, excelent story and still retains the classic feel. An amazing comercial popcorn movie. If only all Hollywood popcorn movies were like this...
1	Stain	90 _86th
As we're all film geeks here, I'm sure I don't have to explain the limitations a movie like this will inevitably suffer. Within those limitations, however, this is really the best Trek reboot movie for which we could reasonably ask. The action sequences are fresh, well-staged, and fit the story, the humor is funny, and there's loads of clever touches (e.g.. how McCoy gets his nickname) that reveal a script that does a fine job of reinventing all these characters
1	martryn	84 _84th
Despite it's many flaws, plot holes, and general idiocy, the new Star Trek movie entertains and promises to bring the characters from the original series back into the present for the current generation. Being a closet Trekkie myself, I loved it.
1	Tripwyre	84 _83rd
It couldn't live up to my unreasonable expectations, but this is still great entertainment. The casting is impeccable, especially Pine and Urban, who were my two biggest question marks going in and both came through in spades. They don't actively crib the original performances so much as find the essence of the characters, to varying degrees of success. It just doesn't feel as epic as I hoped it would, but they've left themselves in prime position for sequels. This is a franchise revitalization.
1	Spunkie	55 _52nd
For a non-trekkie and none lost fan this is a neat action movie for me with an uninteresting plot that is only able to knit the thing together. This is something hard to get in the recent years so I didn't bother to crash it open further.
1	prowler	37 _32nd
People seem to fail to realise this film is first and foremost a comedy. There's just so much ridiculous humour, often unintended. It was a highly entertaining watch. Enjoyed the parallel reality plot, and Leonard Nimoy kicks ass :D Gotta deduct some points for the absurdy implausible action scenes, many of them ripped off from Star Wars anyway. Also, why the fuck is McCoy always on deck??
1	Jls900	70 _81st
This was a good sequel to Star Trek Nemesis, but I wish that Picard had been in it more.
1	nandorizzi	80 _80th
Words of whom had never seen Star Trek. I always wanted but never attended. An agile and intelligent script, good visual effects, charismatic actors and efficient direction of Abrams. Let the feeling of wanting more. I liked it.
1	sensei	65 _26th
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.
1	mr rigard	91 _93rd
You DO NOT have to be a trekkie to have a great time watching Star Trek on the Big Screen. It's loaded with good action sequences, fantastic special effects, and a cast that simply put IS THE NEW FACE OF THE CREW OF THE STARSHIP ENTERPRISE. The person in charge of casting deserves an academy award. This Star Trek's first adventure's plot could have been better, BUT the character development is so spot-on the plot really doesn't matter. Star Trek no longer has one-dimensional characters!
1	bellamyr	97 _99th
Now firstly I have to admit to being a great Star Trek fan, but the thing about this film is you don't need to be. The plot is well crafted and there are plenty of hidden references to keep deep trekkies satisfied without spoiling the film. The casting is superb capturing the underlying character of the original cast. Special effects are good, and there is a real sense of humour to the film too. A great prequel well worth watching.
1	torontodog	90 _94th
Fantastic! If only the Star Wars prequels were handled with the type of care and respect as this franchise was. The dullish "origin story" is presented at a thrilling pace and with that element of fun and humor that bypasses all the too-serious spin-offs and heads right back to the original series - thank god.
1	unne	84 _84th
Star Trek is a culture of its own, those who follow it follow it to heart. I thought the point of the whole movie was to see how Kirk and his crew member came to be and i thought that was very well done and the casting made it happen. My main beef with this film is that it builds plot holes for the other movies and t.v series but i guess thats what makes this movie a unique "prequil"
1	Astfgl	75 _71st
Entertaining movie with decent acting and fun setpieces, but somewhat hamstrung by the ludicrous plot contrivances. Even for a Trek movie, there were some truly preposterous events the detracted from the overall quality of the film. Also, Simon Pegg played Simon Pegg with a Scottish accent, and that's worth 10 points on its own.
1	micah	70 _64th
A Star Wars film in a Star Trek chassis, this reboot is a fun summer action film with a likeable cast, a nearly-incomprehensible plot, and a short enough running time to keep me from getting bored. Check it out if you have an HDTV.
1	Esmerodo	90 _90th
I was nervous about the so-called 'reboot' of Star Trek, but was pleasantly surprised by the imaginative depiction of the TOS characters. Quinto's young Spock is dead on, Yelchin's Chekov is a delight and Pegg's entertaining Scotty would put a smile on any true Trekkie's face. Wasn't sure how to take a potential romance between Uhura and Spock's characters (whatever happened to Pon Far??) but seeing as it's mostly her showing nuturing concern, it doesn't seem quite as unbelievable as I'd feared.
1	TangVampire	98 _86th
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
1	bharath	70 _57th
Star trek has its own fan base, to whom the movie would appeal to. Not being part of that fan base, I feel the movie was made as starting for many other movies to come. The resemblance of the people with the old Star trek was really good. Acting was pathetic, special effects werent something new. I felt the movie would set a new standard for special effects. Probably went with a lot of expectations. Simon Pegg really makes you laugh. Not a real entertainer. Every one has their own opinion.
1	Zealot185	78 _70th
Prior to this film, I had never watched a complete episode of Star Trek nor had any interest in doing so. I'm now convinced that this is a franchise worth investing my time in. It's mainly the charisma of the Enterprise's ensemble cast that really hooked me. I'll be looking forward to the sequel(s).
1	Va3H	79 _27th
Star Trek, a once dead franchise, is a breath of fresh air, invigorating and remarkably entertaining. It succeeds at capturing both the devoted fan-base and newcomers alike, while maintaining the integrity and greatness it was founded upon. The mildly philosophical undertones of alternate reality, age-old rift between passion/reason and time space continuum do not overshadow the simplicity and flow sustaining the overall enjoyment. However, poor character development ultimately hampers the film.
1	county_hell	80 _78th
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.
1	Fleasfan	80 _74th
An enjoyable movie. J.J. Abrahams definately puts something new into the franchise. I'm glad that those "one long episode of TNG" kind of ST movies were abandoned. This also means there will be no Voyager movie (?), which won't actually bother me as long as the quality level of these new era movies stays this high.
1	NathanDarko	95 _93rd
I saw first contact and nemesis, but this one is the first one I really like. I often hear that this new one has got nothing to do with the original spirit of the series. I don't know if it's right or wrong because I hate the series. But this movie is full of sci-fi kick-ass action from the first minute till the end. Abrams did a great job and I hope to see more of the franchise in common years. awesome
1	Garlonuss	95 _96th
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.
1	SNAKEFOOD89	87 _85th
A beautiful revamp of a killer series.. Star Trek is back!! I also liked the overuse of the lens flair..
1	Nearphotison	88 _85th
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.
1	clayj41	86 _92nd
Star Trek desperately needed to be revitalized, and JJ Abrams was the perfect man to spearhead such a lofty venture. For anyone that wants to dwell on this movie's minor inconsistencies with the original television series, I would urge you to grow up and embrace the fact that Abram's vision will make countless young people take an interest in some of the greatest fictional characters of our time, which is about the greatest thing a director can do when dealing with such a storied franchise.
1	begoniabol	69 _57th
I actually quite liked it, and I'm not a Trek fan. But I did think it was very Hollywoodized and the lens light flashies were over-used and they were annoying. The effects were beautiful, the explosions were pretty cool and Spock's a hawtie. I'm glad I had a Trek-fan sitting next to me, sometimes explaining stuff, so I understood more things that weren't explained in the movie
1	the e	100 _90th
Good things: Acting, Special effects, Action sequences, Story, Similarities (nods) to original Bad things: Somewhat of a retread of Khan, New McCoy did too much impersonation of old Bones
1	empiremag	4 _71st
"Odd-number curse be gone. The most exhilarating Trek to date marks a new future for Kirk and co. If this can boldly go on to seek out ideas to match its speed and style, a franchise is reborn."
1	lovejoy	46 _12th
My first mistake was to have high hopes for this film. This rates slightly above Star Trek V but not much better. The attempts at slapstick humour are cringeworthy - Chekov's 'comedy' accent, people banging their heads on bulkheads in a 'funny' way, Simon Pegg as Scotty - dire. The plot is pretty much the same as the previous film. Annoying camera work - shakycam, lens flares everywhere. As a sci-fi film it's mediocre at best. As a Star Trek film, it's sacrilege.
1	CosmicMonkey	75 _49th
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.
1	JacoIII	40 _54th
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.
1	spleen	88 _91st
Probably the best ST film so far. This one predates the original series and portrays everyone in the original crew as a either a moron or a pompous ass, except for Kirk who was both. BTW I still say the new Enterprise bridge looks like a point-of-sale display for Target.
1	Giuseppe	73 _51st
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.
1	Cloudynow	65 _28th
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.
1	oldgoat	72 _57th
While it's pretty and wraps up well, it's pacing is off almost the entire time. Too many terrible hollywood cliches find their way in here too, I suppose to pander to the stupider watchers who need to guffaw at jokes we've seen a million times.
1	CaptTesticle	70 _55th
Kirk is a total whore, that's why we love him. Yet Kirk is about exploration, not conquest. He's out there getting burns nailing an orifice you've never even heard of because he's adventurous. There are no wrong holes and gender is a post coital quibble. He's a hero and Bones is there to make sure he can keep firing. And Checkov is Russian. Scottie is a Scottie. Sulu is from planet Asia. And Spock is nailing Uhura because its logical, obviously.
1	ray985	93 _80th
An excellent restart to the Star Trek franchise. I never really watched the original series or movies, but I still really got into the movie. It was a perfect mix of trek-iness and regular action.
1	Undermind_M	77 _66th
Ridiculously hammy in places, yet it always feels like it knows what it's doing. I laughed with it far more often than at it. Several ridiculously vast plot holes ("oh, fancy meeting you here") mar it a little... but not too much.
1	chemtrails	75 _82nd
Watch Sprock raise an eyebrow
1	kgbelliveau	80 _52nd
Quinto and Pine gave us the rough beginnings of a blossoming friendship. And JJ Abrams went where many men havent dared go before. Awesome film
1	kortox	85 _87th
Lots of fun, really not much to complain about
1	simplicio	58 _25th
Fantastic sound, nice glowing light, and that's about it. There's no meat to any of it, just fanservice and introductions to a ship full of people.
1	Talyn Golic	80 _56th
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.
1	jamesdepaolo	94 _91st
I was never a Trekkie or fan..but I saw this movie with a open mind..and it blew me away....great actors, script and this movie was fun
1	Velvet Crowe	63 _67th
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.
1	xmulderx	80 _90th
Pedantry aside, this didn't suck and was cool. Seriously.
1	sev	96 _91st
Fantastic Movie. From the just past star wars generation of nerdfucks, i have a tough time watching old star wars, and star trek. I'll admit to loving thi smovie 1000x more than any other star trek, period.
1	Dizzley	81 _96th
This movie has chemistry in the casting, acting, filming. It's excellent.
1	dunbar	75 _61st
Oh look it's a Star Trek thingy film with those thingies with the foreheads, the beams and the big saucepan in space. My eyebrows are very logical thank you. Stop trying to sound Scottish Simon Pegg ya wee clatty bastard. I don't care much for the franchise, but J.J. Abrams does. Enough to cash in on your nostalgia at every reference he digs out from beneath his piles of money.
1	loimprevisto	96 _84th
Bad physics (even by star trek standards) hurt some scenes, over all a good re-telling of the story.
1	waddayanuts	18 _0th
It sure takes some balls to make your protagonist a giant douchebag but it's also incredibly stupid. I hated him passionately, and the rest of the characters were either annoying or simply too anonymous to care about. That made it a very long film in which I just wanted them all to die so the film could end.
1	hellboy76	74 _90th
Good relaunch of a cheeseball series. Good casting helps out.
1	laking8920	83 _46th
Breaks the mold from the previous Star Treks and may alienate many die-hard fans. Fun and "hip" for a new generation of Trekkies.
1	3nd3xx	100 _97th
My favorite movie since The Matrix. I loved everything about it. I can't think of anyone else besides JJ Abrams who could have done a better job with Star Trek.
1	closedmouth	80 _67th
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.
1	anchovies	80 _93rd
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.
1	OfTheAllies	55 _30th
I never realized how much I actually enjoyed the original series until I watched this movie and found myself getting furious over how little of the show's spirit made it to the big screen. Star Trek's sense of scope and depth have been removed; highlighting a weak, cliched script that fails to deliver any emotional impact. The choice to destroy an entire planet just to give one character some additional pathos is particularly unforgivable. And, for the love of God, what did they do to you Bones?
1	guy piranha	65 _53rd
abrams obviously has a hard time not confusing the words "wars" and "trek".
1	Antares	42 _7th
I've been watching Star Trek since 1966 and I was hoping that this new version would be worth my time, but sadly, it was not. A whole lot of wink-wink jokes to honor TOS, but when all is said and done, the plot holes and scientific anomalies make it more pitiful than powerful. Hell, I'd even take the odd number Star Trek films over this!
1	Scorpus	91 _93rd
An enthralling rendition of Star Trek that not only pleases with substance but also with visuals
1	ilumos	90 _87th
Best Star Trek movie, no contest. Wall to wall action, no filler. Everything is plot integral. Great special FX.
1	ribcage	90 _92nd
fast and loud like going 20 over the speed limit blasting Dragula (or Sabotage I GUESS) with the windows down. which is to say sometimes theres totally a mood for exactly that. its fun, it ties the universes together well and while lacking true character moments gives us their essence through constant, relentless, intense emotive action moments. a rollercoaster ride of a movie if there ever was one, it doesnt slow down but its awesome!
1	epedos	95 _83rd
Epic Sci Fi at it's best!
1	Merv_Taylor	95 _88th
The writing is a mess, but it works
1	o_rety	75 _56th
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.
1	magdabag	94 _92nd
My favorite Star Wars movie.
1	Skitchima	95 _91st

1	Moviefan1997	97 _82nd
The best Star Trek film made to date, imo. This is the perfect reboot, paying complete homage to the previous films and TV shows but also creating something more action packed, more exciting, more dazzling to newer audiences. Pine and Quinto are just incredible in this film. The rest of the cast are truly fantastic, especially Urban. However, my only issue with this film is that Nero (Aaron Eckhart) wasn't a great villain. Overlooked due to such a powerful story.
1	DyanneThorne	75 _75th
This movie is far too charming and entertaining to actually dislike, but Abrams draws on the strengths and depths of the ST universe without actually adding to them. And I have to deduct points because the scene in the beginning with kid-Kirk driving a vintage car and blasting Beastie Boys is just toecurlingly awful in all its "the things I liked, when I was young, are so great that the kids will find them cool hundreds of years from now!"
1	Ric	90 _93rd
Rated it "not interested" just because it's called Star Trek. Turned out to be much better than I expected. Cool special effects and doesn't take itself too seriously.
1	Armilio	70 _63rd
Pure fun. And spectacular. Star Trek is always been cheesy and naif, but with this movie it become cheesy and naif with a lot of self-irony, and that's a good thing. You cannot take Star Trek seriously, as if it was hard sci-fi. It wasn't. All the variations from the canon are good modernization, so stop crying trekkies. I loved the old series but please move on.
1	Corbad	70 _54th
Kirk is never particularly likeable, but the film itself rather is; featuring some decent humour and action. Not fantastic, by any means, but definitely enjoyable.
1	anilscn	40 _29th

W4E2P2S2V2M2A1R2. The only dings on acting and story were the presence of Leonard Nimoy, which clearly disrupts an otherwise seamless immersion experience. The premise is pretty fantastic and engagingly complex, though it relies on too many coincidences. But the execution is almost flawless.

Displaying marvelous special effects and an excellent cast, it features a high stakes plot and an engaging villain that entertains like no tomorrow.
1	mwestcott	95 _82nd
J.J. Abrams seems to live for the impossible task of pleasing fans of a well known Sci-Fi franchise. Thankfully he is a true force to be reckoned with. Same goes for the amazing cast. Each of them finds both the old and the new qualities in their respective characters. All in a film that both honors the Star Trek tradition while bringing it into a world used to the big budget blockbuster.
1	keggles88	79 _58th
I thought this was a promising start to the rebooted film series, especially the gay subtext between Spock and Kirk, but it was a promise that went largely unfulfilled in subsequent films.
1	vv238	61 _64th
This is a sleek, fast-moving sci-fi action movie that probably doesn't deserve the title Star Trek. Not that the film-making isn't good, which is mostly great, it's that the film seems to be in service of nothing more than name recognition. Even the more action-oriented Star Trek films managed to ask some fairly interesting questions, this is more akin to Star Wars than Star Trek, which many may like just fine.
