The greatest movie ever!

Lack of good storyline.

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

An original "Trekkie" I loved it. Perfect casting great adventure AND Gene Roddenberry is NOT rolling in his grave.

I was hoping that Star Trek, a science fiction adventure film, would be just as amazing as its predecessors. I wanted a feeling of nostalgia, but did not want a copy and paste of the old movies. To my surprise, it not only met my expectations, but went so far beyond them. It gave us the characters we loved but set them in a parallel world letting them set their own new journey. They gave us a younger and fresher feeling while keeping it funny and suspenseful. Everything about this new Star Trek, from the amazing directing from JJ Abrams, to the outstanding cinematography and visual effects, makes me give this movie a 10 out of 10. A rating only fit for a minuscule amount of movies. Just like all the original Star trek movies began, the new Star Trek ended the same way, with the most famous quote said by the original Spock, "Space the Final Frontier: These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before."(Star Trek 2009)

Kirk (Chris Pine) is the deliciously evil villain. That role is solidified early on when he steals and destroys his father's classic red Stingray. Nothing is bad enough to happen to this obnoxious character. Never before have I stood up and cheered when a villain got the daylights beat out of him, over and over again. Other than that, there's nothing redeemable about the movie. It's full of confusion and chaos. It's constant sensory overload quickly leads boredom. The deus ex machina conclusion confirms this film as a boom.

I really enjoy the Star Trek TV series (original, TNG and DS9) and admit that I am late to this review. As much as I enjoy Star Trek and its ideals I had watched Star Wars The Force Awakens by JJ Abrams and I hated that. Star Wars rebooted with completely non-plot for pre-teens and one-liners, wise-cracks and plot holes so big that even Donald Trump's ego could drive through them was not for me.So, anyway with a certain amount of hesitation I finally watched the reboot of Star Trek.... and it was as bad as I feared. Since it was expected I was not disappointed, but by gosh what is with the people who hire the director JJ Abrams? He makes every character a cartoon character. Never mind that the utopian and progressive society of the Federation is completely glossed over and ignored, but these characters with the formulaic backgrounds and corny lines and false tensions is just terrible. The Vulcans and Romulans' feud has never been as cliché-ridden I would say.Look, I get it. People pay for reboots and remakes and sequels and so Hollywood serves them up (or is it the other way around?), but use some imagination, have one novel or original idea at least. I am too old for cartoons... which explains why I won't be watching the next Star Trek or fifteen Star Wars coming out. Obviously the director JJ Abrams is specialized in reboots and remakes and sequels and not original ideas.
