Pros: Terrific casting, clever and balanced screenplay, great effects, loads of fun
Cons: Not even a little
Summary: I began watching Star Trek as a wee lassie when the original series aired on summer afternoons. Back then the monsters were scary, the dilemmas terribly deep and the whole thing very exciting. I went on to become something of a middle ... read more

Pros: Solid Story
Nice Music
Special Effects very cool
A nice new spin on Star Trek
Cons: Lack character development
Too much special effects
At some parts the actors lacked emotion
Summary: This is not the Star Trek we know. I have seen all the Star Trek movies and series since the Orginal Series. I would like to say that everyone who is giving this a bad review is holding to the old Star Trek which I do give them crdit for. BUT this new ... read more

Pros: Good casting, awesome special effects, some unexpected surprises.
Cons: Having to wait for the sequel.
Summary: I was dead set against this movie when first hearing about it, but it exceeded all my expectations... and then some! Like many, I was of the mind that Shatner, Nimoy, Kelley, etc. were all irreplaceable. While that is true to a point, I will say that ... read more

Pros: Simple to follow, packed full of action and humor, new age feel
Cons: none I can truthfully state
Summary: I MUST begin by stating that I was never EVER really into the whole star trek scene. Flying ships, bald captain, what have you. So, this movie comes out on dvd and my girl-friend purchases it as a gift for myself. On one of my "what the ... read more

Pros: Good Cinematography, Balanced Action, Good Acting, Fresh Cameos & supporting roles.
Cons: Honestly, I found no faults in this movie!
Summary: With Hollywood constantly producing non-stimulating films with great stars and naught but explosions, I found this a breath of fresh air-but without removing the explosions! This movie definitely supplied a whole new generation (no pun ... read more

Pros: Good effects, some performances excellent.
Cons: @#$%#$@% up enterprise, contuity, charactrs messed up, did they need to destroy another classic car?
Summary: First of all I will describe all people in here as the characters, and not the actors real names. So when I describe Uhura's performance, I will be speaking about the actress.George Kirk: Since we don't have much of a reference point, other ... read more

Pros: Star Trek is back and better than ever!
Cons: The Planet Vulcan was destroyed in this alternate reality.
Summary: What a comeback! Star Trek has returned to its full glory and this movie proved that something that was thought dead can be resurrected. This movie deals with a Romulan seeking revenge on Ambassador Spock for what he perceived as a betrayal when he did ... read more

Pros: pays respectful homage to the original without trying to duplicate everything.
Cons: too much whiz-bang, not enough depth. Kirk hanging by fingertips from ledges.
Summary: I was a Trekkie. I was not the freakish sort who spent time memorizing stardates and other minutia of particular episodes. I did, however, attend a few conventions wearing costumes. I usually went as an alien. The aliens weren't always authentic to the ... read more

Pros: Pine's fun imitation of Shatner's quirky portrayal of Capt. Kirk; look and pacing, some humor
Cons: clumsy time travel plot, Spock is too emotional, boring villian
Summary: The Star Trek franchise has been on life support for the last decade or so, and was just waiting for someone to come along and revive it. Star Trek: The Next Generation gave the franchise a major boost in the late 80s and 90s, and the mid-to-late 90s saw ... read more

Pros: Excellent Story, Excellent Direction, Excellent Cast, Excellent SFX...Just plain Excellent!
Cons: I'm at a loss on this one.
Summary: Wow! Where do I begin? I've been a Trekkie since I was very young, watching reruns of the original series religiously. When The Next Generation came out, I was skeptical, after all, Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock weren't in it so how could it possibly be ... read more

Pros: The character portrayals by Chris Pine and Simon Pegg.
Cons: The love relationship between Spock and Uhura.
Summary: Ahoy there be SPOILERS ahead!! I saw this movie 1 ½ times when I went to see it the first weekend it opened. The newspaper had the time wrong for "Star Trek" so I saw the last 30 minutes of it -hence the 1/2,- but went back to see it in ... read more

Pros: Brand new storyline, but tributes to the original Trek too
Cons: Not enough Nero!
Summary: Being married to a Star Trek fan isn't easy. In fact it's blooming hard!! I could swear sometimes I know more about it than he does and it's scary! So to find out there was a new Star Trek movie coming out brought a sigh of "not another one" from me and ... read more

Pros: Terrifically fun, very good performances, solid second half
Cons: Lousy action cinematography, hacky plot, feels nothing like Star Trek (Con?)
Summary: My current kick of reviewing science fiction films had to eventually lead me to this summer's breakout hit, and thus far only decent film by any popular or critical standard, Star Trek. I was never a huge fan of any of the television shows ... read more

Pros: Stellar casting, solid effects, good script and story, nice reboot of a classic franchise.
Cons: Eric Bana's villain isn't quite big enough for the big time.
Summary: My wife is a wonderfully patient woman. I've got a little bit of a media obsession...okay, a lot of one. Sometimes that means action figures, sometimes DVDs, sometimes horrible cartoons or shows from the 1970's that should have been left in ... read more
