Well worth the watch. The movie makes you leave the theatre elated. Cast was awesome... loved the references from the old shows. Great character development - can't wait for the next one!
I found the movie really entertaining...a little cheesy but it actually worked for the film. Interested on what they will do with the franchise from here..JJ Abrams is da man!!!
The characters were both flavorful and convincing, the story was interesting and effectively illustrated, and the special effects are the best I've ever seen. I highly recommend this film to existing sci-fi fans and newcomers alike. 5 Stars
Some of the other reviews have stated that the movie doesn't follow the Star Trek universe that Gene Roddenberry created. They are partially correct. This movie represents a ‘reboot’ similar to what was done with ‘Batman Begins’. Does this have its negatives to the movie, for the diehard trek fans it will. For those that can except the change or are new to the Star Trek universe, this should be a great movie experience; for those that can’t accept the change, concentrate on the amazing special effects! If you have the opportunity to see this on IMAX, do so.
Anyone writing about how horrible this movie was are obviously die hard trekkies that cant except change. This movie blew the rest out of the water.
FANTASTIC. This is a must see movie. This is the only movie I have ever been to when the audience gave out a huge round of applause at the end. Everyone around me talked very positive about Star Trek. I cannot wait until the next movie comes out.
This is very entertaining, funny and engaging movie. Of course, the temptation to compare with the past series and movies is strong... Despite a few "canon irregularities", once you see what happens in the movie, you can't help but realize that you do have to press the reset button and accept that it is a reboot after all! Forget about ship proportions, the color of this or that, the temporal directive, etc. Just open up your mind and enjoy the ride... because there are many more to come and the Trek family can only get bigger that way!
Great movie! 5 stars. The old "Star Trek" canon has effectively closed with this movie, branching to a new direction (much like hollywood did with Batman's origin). People who spent decades as trekkies may not like the change, but on its own which is based on the original characters, this is a REALLY good movie! I'm personally looking forward to seeing how the NEW canon/storyline and crew relationships develops.
One word - SPECTACULAR! Been a Trek fan for 40 years, but this resets the franchise the same way Batman Begins did a few years back. GET READY FOR A GREAT RIDE!
Love it! Awesome Movie. Very powerful and emotional, will definitely see a few more times. Everything came together, story, directing, acting, music, cinemetography, special effects and emotion. The scene with elder Spock and Jim, gave me chills, it was like he was really talking to the original kirk (Will Shatner). Loved the accents, very well done, Gene R. is smiling. Female friend non trekker loved it, said it was exciting and a great film, other friend who is a mild trekker loved it also. I consider myself a TNG/TOS fan and I LOVED IT. Thank you JJ Abrams and Team for showing us what Star Trek can be, this film combines all the wonderful moments of star trek, star trek 2, 4, 6, first con
