Star Trek

Pros: Bones! Chekov! Enterprise redesign pretty good on the outside.
Cons: Unbelievably lame story. Mini-Jar Jar. Lame bridge. "Spock"

A well written story is one that can stand up to critical discussion. Star Trek, by JJ Abrams is so badly written that it can only stand up to critical discussion so long as viewers cover their ears and eyes and shout “LA LA LA LA”.  JJ ...

Pros: Excellent Story, Excellent Direction, Excellent Cast, Excellent SFX...Just plain Excellent!
Cons: I'm at a loss on this one.

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 ...

Pros: Brand new storyline, but tributes to the original Trek too
Cons: Not enough Nero!

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 ...

Pros: Grips you and doesn't let go until it is over. Absolutely gravitational!
Cons: Numerous incongruities between the 60's series and this version.

I watched the series in the 60’s, got a degree in computer science in large part as homage to the great Vulcan commander and saw the communicator and computer enter society as essential tools albeit still in primitive and unreliable form. I await ...

Pros: Karl Urban; updated classic uniforms; OK special effects
Cons: Nonsensical situations; questionable casting; misuse of time-travel, sloppy writing; expunged canon; general carelessness; lacking intelligence

When I heard about this movie being made, I was looking forward to it.  When I saw the various trailers for it, I was under the impression this movie was going to be great.  From what I knew as recently as April 2009, I wanted to like this ...

Pros: Pretty cast, some effective humor
Cons: Relentless shaky camera effect (EVERY scene), dysfunctional script, intellectually and emotionally sterile

I had only modest expectations for this film. It did not need to be great to satisfy me, and indeed I was pleasantly entertained by Wolverine, with which the new Star Trek has been compared. But where Wolverine ...

Pros: awesome effects, cool new ship, good character development
Cons: contrived storyline forces too much, has more holes than swiss cheese

I am a trekkie or trekker or whatever, meaning I am a fan of the old series/movies, etc.  I am not one of those old trekkies who could not stand to see change or have all my memorized future history go down the toilet.  I liked the new actors, ...

Pros: Effects, action, suspense and drama.
Cons: A few times the plot drags.

This Star Trek Movie review will contain no spoilers. It won't give away anything about Star Trek The Movie plot details. For this reason, some information contained in the review will be of a general nature.In this version of ...

Pros: Great casting, good story line, nice humor.
Cons: Dragged a bit in one part but other than that, it was great!

I don't know what I expected but this exceeded everything I could imagine.  This movie was funny, thrilling, and full of adventure.  The casting was awesome, too!  The actors did a fabulous job of portraying those much-beloved characters ...

Pros: The characters we all love, without the half-centurly of baggage.
Cons: I'm sure some Trekkies hated it, but most people won't mind the departures from canon.

I've always been, at best, a casual Star Trek fan. I'll watch an episode every now and then, but the only movies I've seen are a couple of the Next Generation ones that I've been dragged to with friends. While I'm a fan of the original series in all its ...

Pros: Lots of action, humour, and quite a ride!
Cons: Some of the fight sequences were so fast it was blurry.

I want to say first that I am an original Trek fan. The fact that there was a prequel coming out made me wonder "Why do people keep trying to change stuff I love?" They revamped Battlestar Galactica and while the original is admittedly cheesy, the new ...

Pros: Action, adventure, Star Trek.
Cons: Time Travel as a story telling device gets kind of played out.

I am not a diehard "trekkie" or "trekker" but I do really love the Star Trek, from The Original Series through Voyager and all of the movies.  There was a funny video on The Onion the other day about the new movie, and how the fans are dissappointed ...

Pros: Good effects, some performances excellent.
Cons: @#$%#$@% up enterprise, contuity, charactrs messed up, did they need to destroy another classic car?

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 ...

Pros: Star Trek is back and better than ever!
Cons: The Planet Vulcan was destroyed in this alternate reality.

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 ...

Pros: Fast paced film that seamlessly blended everything together.
Cons: The sequel is when?

I am old enough to have watched Star Trek in its original run. I was a fan of the subsequent TV series, saw most of the I-VI movies and all the ones with Picard and crew. Star Trek 2009 surpasses all of them by a mile.The movie was visually ...
