Star Trek works both as a nostalgia trip for those that remember, and a fun, on-the-run sci-fi flick for those that are Trekkie virgins.

Aside from the cool effects and surprise cameos from notable actor/director Tyler Perry and one of the U.S.S. Enterprise's original passengers Leonard Nimoy, there really wasn't much there.

Whether watching Kirk and Sulu skydive from space, a rural Mid-West dotted with vast interstellar towers, or Kirk do battle with a very ill-tempered beastie on a frozen moon, it's hard not to gape in wonder.

I didn't go to this with much enthusiasm but, of course, it's been completely reinvented by J.J. Abrams and he's done a terrific job.

I'm no Trekkie, I don't speak Klingon, I've never boldly been anywhere in the least bit exciting -- my fear of motorways has always hampered me horribly in this respect -- and I don't like action epics but [Star Trek] is quite fun.

Did somebody just reach through the space-time continuum and pull out a white rabbit?

Just when you thought that the Star Trek phenomenon had truly run its course, along comes J. J. Abrams's stunning prequel to resuscitate the most enduring franchise in sci-fi history.

One of the most accessible and entertaining films of the year.

| Original Score: A | May 6, 2011

For most people, this is a popcorn flick and, as such, everything just sings. Sings a new variation of a highly recognizable and pleasant melody.

Well, at least they got it half right.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 15, 2009

This Star Trek essentially turns out to be a war film, with the occasional philosophical timeout to discuss love, friendship, and duty until the next bone-crunching fistfight or multi-weapon rumble with the Romulans.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 9, 2009

The young cast is mostly callow and 온라인카지노추천-bland and the special effects don't quite seem worth that hefty price tag, but overall this is a presentable addition to the franchise.

| Original Score: B | May 8, 2009

What I do have a problem with is sacrificing plot for speed, for thinking that grand spectacle and a great sense of pop culture are all that you need to make a new journey with the crew of the Enterprise work.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 8, 2009

With Star Trek Abrams honors the show's legacy without fossilizing its best qualities. Instead, he's whisked it off to a planet where numbing nostalgia can't kill it, and where the future is still something to look forward to.

| May 8, 2009

The wit and youthful energy that's been infused into the new Star Trek should enable this venerable franchise to live longer and prosper more handsomely.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 8, 2009

In going back to tell the Enterprise story from the beginning, Star Trek presses collective emotional buttons people didn't even know they had. At its best, the effect is like seeing life panoramically, past and future, simultaneous and magnificent.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 8, 2009

Star Trek goes back to the legend's roots with a boldness that brings a fatigued franchise back to life.

Full Review | May 8, 2009

You needn't know the secret handshakes or utter the Vulcan blessing "live long and prosper" to gain admission to, and enjoy, summer's first thrill ride.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 8, 2009

In his daft, dizzy reinvention of a moribund franchise, Abrams has found a way to be referential without being reverential, to conjure nostalgia without being constrained by it.

| May 8, 2009

The overall impression is one of unbridled enthusiasm on the part of the film's makers, both for its predecessors and for the brave new universe Abrams and his crew are exploring.
