|---|---|---|---|
 3/5 |
Cold War-influenced exit of classic space crew. Full Review |
||
 1.5/4 |
...mostly combines the interminable interstellar politics of the later Star Wars films with the slowest game of Clue you've ever played. Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
one of the best of the series Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
Why is this such a good Star Trek movie? Well, Spock makes a mean captain, standing in for the imprisoned Kirk. Full Review |
||
|
|
Weighed down by a midsection even flabbier than the long-in-the-tooth cast, director Nicholas Meyer still delivers enough of what Trek auds hunger for to justify the trek to the local multiplex. Full Review |

|
3/4 |
SPOCK: 'Logic dictates we include all the ingredients which have proved popular in our earlier films. Data indicates that one crucial element is what humans call 'tongue-in-cheek' humor; in-jokes about previous episodes, self-mocking references, etc.' Full Review |
||
|
3.5/4 |
Meyer's direction and dialogue are among the most fluid and exciting of the whole series, and he manages a lovely 'final' feel, saying goodbye to the old crew and embracing the future at the same time. Full Review |
||
|
|
The bang/buck ratio is high and it's packed with pithy dialogue and little emotional kicks that make it a worthy, dignified sendoff for the crew we've followed for so many (dear God, so many) years. Full Review |
||
|
|
Though patchy, this is a lot more fun than the disastrous Star Trek V. Full Review |

As with many of the Trek movies, the acting is exaggerated and the plot has holes. But flaws and all, it's fun to watch this crew complete its final big-screen mission. Full Review |
||
|
3.5/5 |
fairly entertaining ... but the final voyage of the original crew ends more like an epilogue than with a resounding final fanfare Full Review |
||
|
A- |
A rousing sendoff for Kirk, Spock, and Bones, and a fitting transition from the original series' Cold-War milieu to the Next-Generation age of engagement. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
A heavy-handed yet curiously weightless swan song Full Review |
