Critics Consensus

Visually spectacular and suitably action packed, Star Trek Into Darkness is a rock-solid installment in the venerable sci-fi franchise, even if it's not as fresh as its predecessor.

4/5

Pulling off the trick of being both irreverent and Trekkie-pleasing, JJ Abrams effortlessly orchestrates massive action set pieces, a galaxy of 'cor look at that' CGI effects and well-modulated character scenes.

The socio-political commentary of 'Star Trek Into Darkness' is about as sophisticated as you'd expect from scribes Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtman, who also wrote the first two 'Transformers' movies.

J.J. Abrams once again successfully creates a fast-paced summer adventure that audiences should love.

4/5

Even if all of those ridiculous lens flares annoy the film snob deep down inside, you have to agree that J.J. Abrams has a nose for action and eye for spectacle.

4/5

It might not hold a candle to the best the franchise has to offer, though it serves as a worthy follow-up to the universe introduced in 2009, thanks to an entirely charming cast and ambitious visual effects.

Not the best JJ Abrams film, but one that shows him a lot less stiff and delivers interesting ideas. [Full review in Spanish]

Star Trek into Darkness isn’t anything ground breaking from the last Star Trek movie but it is another fun action movie that you won’t regret turning on.

Terrible script. But you have to admit that, overall, it works. And although the twist involving Khan is ridiculous, Cumberbatch still delivers a great performance. (Esta em inglês por causa da ia)
