Star Trek

Pros: Terrifically fun, very good performances, solid second half
Cons: Lousy action cinematography, hacky plot, feels nothing like Star Trek (Con?)

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 ...

Pros: action-packed, full of red meat, with hilarious and poignant conflicts
Cons: Previous incarnations make it a hard sell - for about five minutes.

Note: This is a spoiler-free review.  I'm trying very hard not to give away any of the good stuff.  What follows is an attempt to give you a sense of what's there without spoiling the ...

Pros: generally well-casted, intriguing story, leaves room for further movies
Cons: Casting wasn't perfect; plays a little fast and loose with the Trek timeline

Like many other fans of the original Star Trek series, I was eagerly anticipating this movie, wondering how it would be. For me, the various TV sequels ran hot and cold. I liked "The Next Generation" and LOVED DS9, but Kate Mulgrew (Voyager) and Scott ...

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.

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 ...

Pros: Excellent addition to the Star Trek legacy
Cons: ah, you can’t please everybody

The plotHere is the ne'er-told before tale of the meeting of two futuristic heroes Mr. Spock and Captain James Kirk.  The story opens with the birth of James Kirk on a shuttlecraft escaping the destruction of the star ship Kelvin, ...

Pros: Cast, Unbelievable Action, Battles, Hand to Hand Combat, Captain Nero is a awesome villian.
Cons: Would have liked more young Jim Kirk, Some characters, Time eras

I have a truly love/hate relationship with Star Trek, as I generally am thrilled with anything of the science fiction genre, but want to severely maim anyone that dresses up like Spock. If you have learned the Klingon Language, I ...

Pros: Stellar special effects; okay plot-line
Cons: Some plot holes, of course; not enough character development.

The Star Trek franchise has been alive for over forty-five years and through all of the various incarnations: Star Trek The Next Generation, Star Trek Deep Space Nice, Star Trek Voyager, Star Trek: Enterprise, as well as nine motion ...

Pros:   Great movie for anyone that like Science Fiction, great character development, Fast paced, entertaining.
Cons:   The scene between the Spocks. No real depth to the story.

  This movie is a prequel to both the television show and the movies. It is the story about how James T. Kirk and company came into the possession of the Enterprise. It really starts out with Kirk being born and how his father died. Or rather it is ...

Pros: Acting, direction, special effects, plot, script, appeals to everyone
Cons: Some small plot issues (especially for hardcore Trekkies)

Ok, I must preface this review with the following statement:I am not a Trekkie.  I have had long and passionate arguments with various people (including the husband, who *is* a Trekkie) about the whole ...

Pros: -
Cons: -

 The latest Star Trek movie reminds me of so many Sci-Fi movies with such potential that bombed, flew off course, or ended up as mere shadows of their former selves. I could surely write a paper on it, but instead I’ll direct my attention to ...

Pros: Plenty of action, good character development
Cons: Time travel? Again? Oh, man!

My little brother and I escaped our wives and kids for the evening and went to see the new Star Trek movie. In short, it was great and well worth seeing by any fan of the Star Trek franchise in particular and science fiction in ...

Pros: great acting, cool special effects, wonderful story
Cons: nothing

From the very start we are brought into an exciting story. Star Trek opens with a huge Romulan ship attacking a small federation ship. That day of that attack is also the day when James T Kirk is born.We learn about Kirk, how he is a rebel as a ...

Pros: Lots of thrilling action. Great performances. Fantastic special effects.
Cons: Terrible score.

I must start off by saying that I've been a fan of Star Trek for some time, but in NO WAY do I consider myself a "Trekkie", "Trekker", or whatever it is those die-hard fans want to be called. I own all of the movies on DVD, I always stop to watch ...

Pros: The character portrayals by Chris Pine and Simon Pegg.
Cons: The love relationship between Spock and Uhura. 

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 ...

Pros: great action, good acting, believable plot, Nimoy, humor, some emotional parts
Cons: a little contrived but JJ Abrams makes it work

I'm such a geek. My husband volunteered to watch the kiddies while I went to the movies tonight and I chose to watch Star Trek. I'd heard good things about it and it looked great in the previews. I have to say, it was worth my $10. ...
