The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk, is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy.

Not content to just make this the Spock and Kirk show, with supporting players largely reduced to broad strokes, Abrams makes it clear that he's interested in Star Trek as an ongoing, fully fleshed-out ensemble piece.

Somehow J.J. Abrams has managed to make Star Trek cool again, with a fresh and fast-paced, action-packed thrill ride that both new and old fans can lavishly enjoy.

One could melt into the luxury of the experience Mr. Abrams provides and objectively appreciate every penny spent in the budget as there is not a false or cheesy speck to be found on screen.

A mindless, milling mess. Just what you would expect from somebody schooled in the Michael Bay/Jerry Bruckheimer academy of bad directing.

...the film will go down, and endearingly so, as the Brokeback Mountain of space operas... In all the cosmos, a fatherless human and a motherless Vulcan find in one another that which they had lost.

Abrams manages quite well in making $150 million look like an episode of Babylon 5. Fistfights are poorly edited, and when he wants to create excitement and tension, Abrams simply has the camera shake around a lot in close-up.

Yeah, there's a plot, too, but it's almost completely overshadowed by the introduction of the new characters.

Standing in contrast to the angst-ridden, lumbering and dark vibe favored by so many action flicks, it has plenty for fans and almost as much for those who couldn't tell a tribble from a tricorder.

The 11th feature in the long-running series is not just a great Star Trek movie -- it's a great movie period.

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.

[It] broadens the appeal of its cult property, turning what was once strictly nerd fodder into a shaggy dog action movie.
