Star Trek Into Darkness Reviews
TheMovieReport.com
Cumberbatch, with his otherworldly aura of menace and basso profundo rumble of voice, makes a worthy and memorable Big Bad in the annals of Trek lore.

It's generally a lot of fun, but it's exhausting, and the busyness only somewhat disguises the fact that the story doesn't entirely make sense.

John Hanlon Reviews
Not as audacious or exciting as its predecessor but this sequel is still a fun summer ride.

...a terminally perfunctory followup that just barely gets the job done...

... a summer film that dimly reminds viewers of what it used to be - and could be again - while still being little more than a rollercoaster ride.

There's really very little to complain about in this warp-speed sequel.

Q Network Film Desk
so enjoyable that it becomes easy to forget that virtually everything in the film is a riff or spin on something we (including only casual Star Trek fans) have already seen

Thrilling if not exactly groundbreaking fun...yet something is missing this time around.

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
Moment to moment, it's as entertaining, rousing and visually impressive as any recent science-fiction action epic, but the script is cratered with illogical motivations and plot holes large enough to swallow Classic Trek's Doomsday Machine.

It feels a little "been there, done that" but it still entertains.

'Star Trek' safely does its job and is easily the first must-see action flick of the year.

Maintaining its reverence for the source material while employing an exuberant and clever script with one heck of a plot twist, Star Trek: Into Darkness is great fun and a more than worthy successor to the excellent first film.

One of the attributes this sequel to the prequel has going for it is a villain whose threat to mankind requires no prosthetics and/or makeup to freeze you in your seat.

Movie Dearest
Very well-made and exciting. Kirk's/Pine's bromance with Spock/out actor Zachary Quinto is further and nicely developed here, and the film's 3D effects are truly special.

I like this movie a lot, but the part with the tribble was totally stupid.
