Viewer Reviews of STAR TREK
 | space the final frontier - windThis is a great movie if you just want to sit down and enjoy yourself. This film shows you the life of James T Kirk (Chris Pine), from being a boy to becoming a star ship Captain. The film has all the original characters, such as Spoc (Zachary Quinto), Bones (Karl Urban), and Scotty (Simon Pegg). Although the story line might not be the same as the last one more ... |
| Boldly go where no fan has gone before - HanleyEpic. Action-packed and hilarious, this movie will bring even the most anti-Trekkie on the ride of their lives. Exhilarating action set-pieces and comedic gold in the shape of Chris Pine and others. Karl Urban and Simon Pegg stand head and shoulders above an exceptional cast. Written in a way that no Trek fan can dispute with, JJ Abrams took this new Star more ... |
| Trek-ific - PatrickEven if your not a trekkie this is a must see film. Although the impressive cgi and stunning effects are enough to impress it actually has a decent story, great dialogue and some suprisingly good performances especially by Pine, Quinto and the always likeable Pegg. Definitely one to see more ... |
 | Restored My Faith In Trekkieville! - HSPWell I never thought I would ever be gloating over a new Star Trek Movie. I am a huge fan of the original series which believe it or not only ran for three seasons between 1966-1969. I liked The Next Generation too but didn't lose sleep if I missed an episode.... but after that they lost my fanship as it got crappier & crappier. 10 movies were made more ... |
 | A triumph - andrewireI was never a fan of the original series but I have to say, this film is just amazing. After I saw it in the cinema I went and bought the season one of the original series and I think the producers of the new installment did justice to the original. The casting of Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Karl Urban in the three male leads was perfect: they nailed all more ... |
| Excellent Reboot - Mediocre Movie - pandabatWell, JJ Abrams' version of a Star Trek movie has finally arrived, just in time for the summer blockbuster season and how is it? Well, a little good and a little bad. While there's a marginal plot (which is effectively a sub-polt) involving Eric Bana's angry Romulan from the future, this is really an origins story for the Enterprise crew. As such, we are more ... |
| Rare-A good, clean action movie the whole family can see - EStar Trek's fame is earned for many reasons, one of which is pushing and challenging social issues. Interracial anything was taboo and to have so many nationalities doing so many things was like watching the United Nations in space ships. I appreciate what this movie has done. It maintains integrity to the spirit of Star Trek by respecting the old and more ... |
 | Great for trekkies and newbies - Aaron QuinnI myself am more of a star wars fan, but since that franchise has gone down the drains as of late I've become more interested in Star Trek. As the movie was highly anticipated and directed by Modern Day Spielberg , J.J. Abrams(Lost, Fringe,Heroes etc.) everyone knew this would go down well. And luckily for me being unfamiliar with Star Trek , all the t.v more ... |
| I feel young again - RachelMartaI have seen this move 12 times. This reinvention of Star Trek is genius. It allows for all new story lines going forward. In future Star Treks (in JJ Abrams Universe please) we can watch the crew get to know each other all over again with new experiences. I am 65 years old and have loved TOS from day one 1966 when I saw the actual first episode. I loved more ... |
| Definitely worth the trek, this movie will make stars of its brilliant young cast! - Jason O' MahonyStar Trek Director: J.J. Abrams Country: USA Year: 2009 Language: English Runtime: 126 Minutes Rating: 15A I remember the first time I saw automatic sliding doors, doors that opened when you walked towards them. It was in the new Quinnsworth in Tralee, in the mid 1980's, I was about 10 years old and I thought they were amazing! The only place I had ever more ... |
| Best SCI-FI film of 2009 - javonoUndoubtedly the best Sci-Fi film of 2009. This film has everything that a Sci-Fi film must have, Horror, Action, Larger than life Space scenes and great Science fiction. Right from the start of this film the viewer is taken aback by the stunning vistas the outer space scenes can offer. The film is also multi layered and offers side plots of the romantic more ... |
| brilliant - mart1nThis is probably the biggest and greatest challenge in sci-fi franchise history and it was down to director J.J. Abrams to come up with all the right answers and I must say he suceedes with flying colours. Star Trek is a pure out and out adventure, which doesnt to let up for a single second. It's a hell of a ride comdined with wonder and charm. It's the more ... |
| This is a must see for all Star Trek fans and non Star Trek fans.... - b_plant01This is the best Sci-Fi movie of the year and by far the best Star Trek movie… EVER! I have seen all the previous Star Trek movies and really enjoyed them, but this was the first one when I came out of the cinema and went WOW! The film was so good that my girlfriend who I convinced to go see the film actually really enjoyed it and said she would see more ... |
| It's Star Trek Jim, but not as we know it. - BrianI have been a Trekkie (er) since the first series and Star Trek fans are very touchy about keeping the timeline intact and Paramount usually sets out not to upset them. However, this is not the Star Trek that does this and I'm thankful for this as it has become too constricting as time went on. Suffice to say that "It's a prequel Jim, but NOT as we more ... |
| Excellant film - carrolliGreat film from the very first scene. Great choice of actors who played each part really well. Only loses a star in my appinion because the story was quiet weak near the end and the bad guy did not have a lot of story. other than that a great watch and a must see for sci-fi fans more ... |
 | Star Trek = Super Terrific Awesome Result Topclass Respect Excellent Triumph - kellierThis movie was just pure class. I've read some reviews that say fans and those new to the Star Trek will both like it, but as a fan of the original Star Trek (I even own a Tribble), Star Trek TNG, Voyager, Enterprise (never liked DS9), this is the best of all of the series and movies put together. The casting, script, story, special effects all culminate more ... |
| excellent. maybe a bit safe a little unneccessary.. - PaulaI'm a mildly enthusiastic Trek fan and my only hopes for this film were that the legendary friendship between Kirk and Spok would be explored properly. The back stories of their respective childhoods were excellently written, and thankfully, brief. The plot of the film was not demanding or complicated in any way, which was useful as it allowed screen time more ... |
 | Fascinating - PlantWhen I first saw the TV series Star Trek I wondered how this crew and Spock go together...as many must have done...well wonder no more. This movie answers that question with an interesting back story quickly pacing itself up into this fast past movie that will enthral fans and new comers alike. This is to Star Trek what Casino Royal was to the Jame's Bond more ... |
| Pure Entertainment - Keith CThis is the most entertaining thing I've seen in ages, I've had a passing appreciation for Star Trek but I've always been a Star Wars man and this movie is probably more Star Wars than Star Trek. Still I reckon there should be enough to keep fanboys intrested witha nice few nods to the old series (my own fave was the redshirts and what used to happen to more ... |
| This Film Will Live Long And Prosper - Feargal DalyAfter several films based in the Star Trek universe failed to live up to expectations throughout the last few decades many people thought the franchise had lived long enough and beyond being prosper, that it had truly died out. 7 years after the previous bomb that was "Nemesis" a modern film mastermind known as J.J. Abrams (Lost, Cloverfield) more ... |
| Film of the year.clever with great action.very few will dislike this,Even those who dislike sci-fi - Tom Healyi liked a few other star treks, but this was the best by miles.but brilliant acting.really clever story which likes with old star trek.action is amazing.best film since the Dark Knight more ... |
| Star Trek...Cool? - DaveyTUnfortunatley going into the cinema to see this I went with a heavy heart. Visions of costume wearing nerds and cling-on speaking geeks have and always will haunt the Star Trek brand. As a teenager I hated anything to do with Star Trek. The first note of the credits was enough for me to turn off the TV. However when I heard the theme in J.J. Abrams more ... |
 | A New Generation - cogemelowhat a great movie. this is form someone who has diipped in and out of the Star Trek craze from timeto time. like many others i have my favourites fromthe oler seriesand wasn't expecting anything great from this"new" adventure, but i am delighted to say that I truly enjoyed this movie, loved the used of the old one liners(are you out of your more ... |
| a great blockbuster - Ashthis was the best blockbuster I have seen so far this year. jj abrams has managed to make sure this movie will appeal to trekkie and non-trekkie fans . the visuals are astounding and the acting is top notch , escpecially from the actors who play kirk and spock. more ... |
| Disappointing - Jim Buckley BarrettWell what can you see, it just seems to be a movie for the sake of one. The story is weak beyond belief. I couldn't warm to any of the actors characters other then Bones. None of the story ties into the original series nor any of the spin off since then. We have come to expect a dark side the Star Trek movies, Picard almost going mad when the Borg were more ... |
 | Never watched ST before but... - ShelI loved this movie, it took an emotional grip on me in the first ten minutes then kept my eyes glued to the screen. The acting was excellent and the characters likeable, the effects were incredible and the action was peppered with funny one-liners and gigglers. If you're a fan of reeeeally good movies, this is for you :) more ... |
| An excellent film, and not just for trekkies - JACKAs someone who really doesn't like the star trek tv shows or the other films, this was surprisingly good! It's got a lot of heart and there's something here for everyone. Definitely worth checking out. more ... |
| Possibly the best of the Trek movies, its one of the best films of the year - paulSo far its the best American movie I've seen from this year. It's amazing. The film is a restart of the original series within continuity-yes the film connects to all of the other series and movies- and then heads off in its own way. The characters can now be what they were and potentially grow in new directions. The plot has a time tripping Romulan named more ... |
| kit box CGI melodrama - Aodh macGIts a big movie, big special effects, big explosions, carries the story of Kirk,spock, and bones into the psyche of a new generation but its been tailored to appeal to the lovely people,candy coated pseudo-reality tv generation. The script is the bastard offspring of an unholy union between the Hills and James T's Star Trek, sci-fi in soft focus. Rant aside more ... |
| Just OK. - Sirocco1. Is it realistic to recruit the son of a starship commander to be recruited for such a position, given the depth of his sociopathic immaturity and lack of interest? NASA doesn't go around recruiting disaffected sons of dead astronauts, do they? 2. All this traveling through black holes is just too confusing, and fantastical. 3. Why is the crew of the more ... |
| Live Long and Prosper Star Trek - Forever - Marion (aka Irish Mist)The movie took us to a new chapter, how the Original Cast of Star Trek paths crossed and the making of a man. The movie did not dissappoint at all, the connections to the Original Star Trek Series along with references to Enterprise Series tied this Movie nicely to the the Epic Cult that is STAR TREK. I am and always will be a Trekkie and was so glad to see more ... |
| Not Terrible - Siobhan LThis is the movie where all the original characters meet - Uhura, Bones, Scotty, Sulu, Chekov, Spock and of course Kirk. The story focused on the relationship between Spock and Kirk and how they would save the Galaxy. Special effects were not bad and the Kirk back story was not very in-depth. Still it was very much 'the lads' out to stop a very bad guy. The more ... |
| Engaging - Steven SeagullBeing a fan of the TV series and previous Star Trek movies I had my reservations when I saw that a remake was on the way. My two fears where was this Hollywood just cashing in on the name and making a quick buck and that the franchise would be dumbed down to suit a wider audience. Thankfully they have produced a Star Trek film that is good fun and doesn't more ... |
| Believe the Hype! - ytarehWell I can only concur with all the above .This is a GREAT movie for trekkie and non trekkie (myself included ) alike .In the fairly small cinema screen I was at the sound of the Entreprise engaging warp drive and going to light speeding was earpoppingly unreal ....cant imagine what it would be like in an IMAX really!Just great... more ... |
| A long awaited regeneration... - JamjaqI've been a Trekkie for a long time, starting with the Next Generation. I love the films, and have a nostalgia for the original that I would have said could not have been re-worked. Thankfully, this film has come along, and is capturing new Star Trek fans, and re-igniting old ones. It deals with the beginnings of the Original characters, and gives them a more ... |
 | JJ does it again. - NiaI thoroughly loved this movie. Although it is relatively short at only 2 hours it fits a lot into that space. My dad is a huge fan of the original series and I have always been intrigued by the fandom as a whole. However my main reason for seeing the movie was JJ Abrahms. He brought me my favourite TV show, Alias, and continues to delight me with the antics more ... |
| Back in space and back on track - KenDespite all the rumours, opinions and spoilers posted everywhere, I decided to ignore all of them and go to the movie with an open mind. I did of course expect to see major changes and plot sacrifices and I wasn't disappointed. There are indeed serious developments regarding the cannon. But when I saw the opening scene, I have to say I was immediately at more ... |
| Star Trek - for this generation - S8rahOk it has to be said that this is one of the best films to be released in a long time! It's not just for the avid Trekkies but one for the non-trekkies too... I went with a mix of people, one of which didn't even want to see the film! and we all left with the same opinion that it's an excellent film and well worth going to see! it's not just about the more ... |
 | Hugely entertaining. - FozzAs a long time Trek fan I was wary about this and struggled to see an appetite for such a venture. But I was very excited going to it and I wasn't disappointed - it starts off with action and the momentum of the movie never lets up. It's a non-stop ride with characters of old rehashed and with a plot that allows for the aberrations in the history it all more ... |
| A fan but not a fanatic & I really like it - heidiIf you were a massive devoted fan maybe you would have reason to not like it but as far as movie's go it has a good script, good cast and most importantly very entertaining. and I'd know more about Star Trek than the next person but still I personally liked it. Certainly not the movie of the year however still within the higher devision & worth a look more ... |
| simon pegg got it wrong in spaced. - BrianIs very hard to create a film with such a well established cannon and yet appeal to mainstream and hardcore fan alike. Ultimately these are two opposing forces. The hardcore and the casual dip in fan are polar opposites. Sure everyone knows of star trek, knows the catch phrases and Kirk,Spock and co are now firmly ingrained in history in pop culture civil more ... |
| Missing all the depth.. - iarlaI always loved the TV series for the depth of the characters and the plots. This movie was a boring introductin to the history of the characters, melded with an *extremely* typical bad guy scenario. I'm amazed by the positive hype this movie is receiving. more ... |
| A pleasant, thrilling surprise! - Keith RDoes J.J Abrams' magic touch know no bounds? The Lost producer's interesting 2008 offering, Cloverfield, confirmed that he had the ability to transfer his creative flair to the big screen, but nonetheless gave little indication that he could be relied upon to drag Star Trek kicking and screaming into the 21st century. But that's exactly what he's managed to more ... |
 | You're out of your Vulcan mind - mazieOne thing I never expected from this movie... the total hotness of Spock. Am I the only one? Seriously, Zachary Quinto, beam me up right now. Never fancied him as Syler, doesn't do much for me just as himself in interviews and the like, but as Spock... I tell ya, it's illogical. more ... |
 | Film of the year (so far) - simonconnollyThe hugely popular Star Trek franchise returns to the screen for the 11th time after a seven year wait. The film, simply named Star Trek (perhaps implying the start of a new collection) is directed by sci-fi king J.J Abrams. He is the man behind Mission Impossible 3, Cloverfield and TV's Lost. I went in to this film expected mindless action made better by more ... |
| Its Star Trek but not as we know it - hillerI am a 70's child, liked the original series but thought it rather slow paced. I also find the cast of the original series to be far more interesting than the little those of the later incarnations. Now, the new film - FANTASTIC. The casting is brilliant, getting characters that actually look like young versions of the 70's series and ones that can actually more ... |
| Star Trek Boldly enters a new old generation - ElizabethAs a fan of Star Trek, particularly the Next Generation I must say I was not dissappointed by the hype and reviews over this new take on the whole Star Trek story.From the first few seconds the audience is catapulted into gripping action,great effects,excellent characters and a brilliant storyline.Im looking forward to going to see it again next week! more ... |
| out with the old - newagetrekkieGuys cmon...did you really expect the movie to be the same as the good old original series..? The older generation of fans cannot seriously expect to be catered to as much anymore. theres a whole new generation of potential star trek fans out there and as a reboot goes i dont think they did a bad job..the old series was great and there will never be any more ... |
| Beam me out... - old_no7Is it a good Science Fiction movie? Oh yes, in fact best sci-fi in years, and that includes your recent drivel Mr Lucas. Is it a good Star Trek movie? Afraid not. Sorry folks but another Trek fan weighing in here, been watching the show since its re-runs on the BBC in the late 70's and have been a dedicated fan since. Arguments that Trek lore and the more ... |
| not your fathers star trek... - GreggieDumbed down star trek for today's stupid generation. Gone is the star trek that i love and remember. And in its place a dumb action movie for the normal joe/jane . Jar Jar Adams and his star wars clone has left me very depressed at a great franchise getting its soul ripped out. more ... |
| best cinema experience I've had in ages. - AineEasily one of the best cinema experiences I've had in a long while. From the start to the end, there's something for just about everyone in this (unless you like subtitled foreign black and white jobbies…in which case this definitely isn't your cup of tea). For once, the hype has been worth it, Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto do a fantastic job as more ... |
 | Hugely enjoyable. - leo1312*SPOILER ALERT* I went to see this with quite a bit of excitement, despite being a sci-fi fan, I was never hugely into Star Trek but the trailer alone was so chock full of awesome!.My mother is a huge Trekkie, so of course she was just shocking. There was a LOT of "live long and prosper"-ing going on. So now, down to the specifics. Well, to start more ... |
| The franchise is saved - Cyberx_94Star Trek 2009 The latest Star trek film directed by JJ Abrams (Independence day)and starring Leonard Nemoy (old Spock) , Simon Pegg (Scotty), Christopher Pine and Zachary Quinto (Spock). The story this time examines Kirk's younger days , his meeting , friendship, rivalry with Spock and their effort to thwart the ambitions of a vengeful group of Romulans. more ... |
| Wow, just wow ! - DarrenThis is the only movie that I've been to in a long time that has actually lived up the hype generated before it. I went to see it with a gang ranging from die hard tekkies to people who hadn't watched any of the series. We all agreed that it was an amazing movie. Great story and visual effects matched with a perfect score. Brilliant !!!! more ... |
| Not for Trekkies - lordtedbearHaving been a huge trekkie/trekker for about 20 years since childhood I have to say that I dnot like this film. I don't like the reinterpretation of the characters and the distruction of the entire canon of the Star Trek Universe in the time spanning from before the Original Series (TOS) all the way trough to the Voyager timelines which would simply no more ... |
| I cannae take it, Captain... - JustinTake the original Star Trek, scoop out its charm, wit and moral integrity and you have the new Star Trek: a dead, stuffed, glassy-eyed replica of its former self. A Romulan from the future (Eric Bana) travels back to the 23rd century to exact revenge for something that happens in the 24th century. This involves Kirk (Chris Pine), Spock (Leonard Nimoy/ more ... |
| I think I liked it? - Stormwatcher"Forget Everything" is the Tag Line in the TV ads for this movie and if your a trekkie this is what you have to do. This is New (paralel) territory. So your not a fan of Star Trek or you like it but your not bothered about Star Trek canon then you will really enjoy this movie as long as you don't say to yourself "not another time travel more ... |
| Great entertainment - Mick JordanAlthough I have always thoroughly enjoyed the series and followed it on and off through its different incarnations, I have never really been a devoted Trekker or mad fan. (I don't have any of the box-sets, I've never been to a convention and my Klingon is basic Leaving Cert.) This probably makes me the perfect audience for this film – someone who more ... |
| Does it do the original series justice? It's better - Kassius84I'm no serious Trekkie, I grew up with a Star Trek obsessed father and ended up watching almost every episode of every single Star Trek series, from the originals all the way up to Voyager. And then I had to relive them on DVD. The 'Next Generation' movies were dwindling, old characters, recycled plots, regurgitated films... When I first saw the trailer for more ... |
| Most Watchable Star Trek Film - DaveNow this may not be saying much as in my opinion very few star trek movies are very watchable and my wife hasn't liked any of the previous films. So we went to see this film today with little expectation. From the beginning we found the film very engaging and we actually wanted to find out what happened as the story unfolded. Parts of it were very cliched more ... |
| What a movie! - SarahThis is a totally different kind of Star Trek movie. I loved everything about it. The characters, the story, the effects were amazing, but you definatly get a feel of the JJ Abrams style, which is definatly a good thing!!!! The plot was very "Star Trek" in that it had the whole time travel, alternate reality, paradox thing. Star Trek fans in my more ... |
| Bigger, bolder, brasher...better? - DoylerI'm afraid that's a resounding 'Nope. Before I begin, I should fess up to being a dedicated Star Trek fan and Trekkie for nearly 15 years. And as to my viewership of the current output of the JJ Abrams/Bad Robot stable, I thought LOST Seasons 1 was amazing, and have stuck with the show despite a huge drop in quality. Fringe, co-created by Abrams, Alex more ... |
