An action movie all the way and this is perhaps the best and worst thing about the film. It is fast moving and engaging with a decent plot. The only thing I would say is that there are just too many James Bond style stunts for Captain Kirk. Nevertheless Chris Pine performs well and the other Enterprise characters are equally accomplished. The special effects are spectacular and I would watch the film again. Nice integration of humour to break up the tension every now and then.

This film is enthralling and will entertain (almost) everyone. The story is believable, some would say 'logical'. The characters are, on the whole, well rounded and relatable. The acting is outstanding and the sets are perfect, well relating to the broad history of the franchise in general.

The reboot continues with another solid film. But not up there with the first 2 of which the 1st still remains the best. Doesn't quite grab you like they do and the gradual loss of the clever links to the original stories is a real negative. But the excellent banter between Kirk, McCoy & Spock still delivers well and Pine, Urban & Quinto have to be commended for how they have grabbed the spirit of the originals. The feisty character of Jaylah (Sofia Boutella) was one of the films best assets. Sadly, the ending didn't seem to carry the tenseness of the earlier films. But I would still would recommend it as a good watch.

A predictable plot with no twists or surprises (even the true identity of the bad guy), but an enjoyable popcorn film. Nice little reference/link to the passing of Leonard Nimoy. Also, what I suspect was a subtle nod/homage to George Takei. My girlfriend is a bit of a trekkie and she loved it - all fans should be in familiar and comfortable surroundings (as would Star Wars fans in one particular sequence). I guess when watching a film directed by the same guy as (some of) the Fast and Furious franchise, you shouldn't expect anything that isn't tried and tested.

Another good Star Trek movie. This latest release has regrettably moved away from concentrating on the Star Trek characters and relationships for a shoot them up premise. Apart from this it is a good film.
