This was a Christmas gift for my nephew, however I did see at theater. Very entertaining. All characters did a good job follwing the lead of original actors from the old TV series. Spock, Bones, and the rest of the cast played their parts well. The actor that portayed Capt. Kirk kinda did a spin of his own, but was enjoyable. Leonard Nimoy makes an appearance & I guess, being a William Shatner fan, my only disappointment was that he did not make an appearance. Worth watching.
This is the first Star Trek movie that I have ever watched. I am a huge star wars fan and never really got into star trek until I watched this one. When i watched this I was instantly hooked. This is a very entertaining movie and will keep you interested throughout the whole movie. It has everything that a good movie needs (a good storyline, romance, humor, action, and surprises). I am now looking forward to watching the rest of the Star Trek Movies. Anyone, even if your not a fan of star trek, will like this movie. It's a story about a young crew's maiden voyage on board the most advanced starship ever created: the U.S.S. Enterprise. In the midst of an incredible journey full of optimism, intrigue, comedy and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals born worlds apart. One, James Tiberius Kirk (Chris Pine), a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy, a natural-born leader in search of a cause. The other, Spock (Zachary Quinto), grows up on the planet Vulcan, an outcast due to his half-human background, which makes him susceptible to the volatile emotions that Vulcans have long lived without, and yet an ingenious, determined student, who will become the first of his kind accepted into the Starfleet Academy. Kirk and Spock could not be more different. Yet, in their quest to figure out who they really are and what they have to give to the world, they soon become competitive cadets-in-training. With their drastically opposite styles, one driven by fiery passion, the other by rigorous logic, they also become defiant, contentious adversaries, each equally unimpressed with the other, each going all out to be among the special few chosen to join the crew of the most advanced starship ever created, the U.S.S. Enterprise. The Crew is headed by Captain Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood). Joining him are the ship's Medical Officer Leonard "Bones" McCoy (Karl Urban); the man who will become the ship's Chief Engineer, Montgomery "Scotty" Scott (Simon Pegg); Communications Officer Uhura (Zoe Saldana); experienced Helmsman Sulu (John Cho); and the 17-year-old whiz kid Chekov (Anton Yelchin). All will face a harrowing first test that will set in motion the loyalty, camaraderie, daring and good humor that will bind them forever. In the midst of it all, Kirk and Spock will come face-to-face with an undeniable destiny: a need to forge an unlikely but powerful partnership, enabling them to lead their crew to boldly go where no one has gone before.Read full review
I grew up watching the original tv series and didn’t think this movie would be as entertaining. I was wrong. This movie is fantastic. The acting, story line, special effects - pretty much everything - is literally out of this world. But don’t take my word for it. Go to rotten tomatoes, IMDb and Amazon and look at the ratings for this film. Across the board awesome.

It's a shame that this film is entitled simply "Star Trek" as it has little or nothing to do with the actual franchise. First of all, it takes place in an alternate reality, so that it cannot be placed in any Star Trek context. Yes, it borrows characters from the original Star Trek series, but it places them in unreal situations, in some cases so unreal that all you can do is laugh at it. The producers of the film appear to have deliberately set the goal of turning Star Trek into Star Wars on steroids. They have pumped the pace up to such an incredible level that at times you honestly don't care what is happening as you give in fully to the adrenaline rush of fast-paced editing, splashes of color and action moving at a frenzied pace. Star Trek is mostly known for the thought that goes into the creation of each episode or film. Trek raises questions that make audience members think and explores issues germaine to our time. There is apparently no thought at all in this movie. If you ask the question, "What is it about?" the answer can only be that it is about people moving at fantastic paces doing improbable things that mean nothing. Since it is set in an alternate time line, it certainly means nothing at all to Trek canon - and that may actually be the best thing about the film. If it says anything relevent to our time, perhaps it is that we live in a vacuous society that prefers image without substance, flash without meaning. I deeply hope that this fiasco will be the end of producer-director experimentation with a time-proven franchise.Read full review
I'm a trekker, okay? I've followed Star Trek since its debut in 1966, and I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this reboot. Gene Roddenberry would be proud. The Great Bird of the Galaxy (as Roddenbury was known) never opposed the idea of trying new things, and with this film, a whole new spin on the original series characters, there is new life given to the franchise as a whole and the original series in particular. Everyone cast seems to understand that while they're playing roles of characters familiar to just about everyone on earth, they're also making the dimensions of the characters far wider than ever before. Particularly pleasing was the inclusion of Leonard Nimoy as Spock, and as always, attention was paid to detailing how such an inclusion could be plausible within the framework of the overall plot. Space is fluid and everchanging, something that Roddenberry knew and used well; this new addition to a 45 year old idea is one that embraces that notion as well as enhancing the whole history of the Trek universe.Read full review
