ThiefHott Too much of everything

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

cyrilbritts Star Trek is an unnecessary reboot in my opinion. JJ Abrabs is a talented filmmaker and it is easy to see his enthusiasm (he is almost like a fanboy giddily recreating all his favorite childhood movies) and rigor but the reboot and especially the cast will always suffer from comparison with the original TV series. Furthermore, although the film is interesting and gets everything sorted- in as much as one can in less than 2 hours- there is a rushed feeling to the proceedings. The special effects are good but we've seen it all by now, the razzle and dazzle only goes so far. The Star trek reboot isn't a bad film as much as an unneeded one.

Grant Bullert "Star Trek" has nothing to boast about, but neither does it have anything to apologize for. It is a decent film and nothing more.-Analysis of Notable Work- *Writing/Directing: For those unfamiliar with the concept of Star Trek, this film can be a bit too much to handle. There is a lot to keep straight. Capturing the attention of people who do not love the world of Star Trek is not easy. Pleasing the fans of the Star Trek of old is even harder. The story is rather bland and a bit messy. Abram's directing style makes it even more difficult to watch. There seems to be a lack of professionalism in the storytelling. *Cinematography/Editing: The color palette and camera movements are relatively pleasing thanks to the work of Dan Mindel. However, Abrams' obsession with lens flares and canted angles take away from the otherwise effective cinematography. The editing is adequate. Nothing jarring or overly ambitious. The action sequences are easy to follow and feel well timed. *Dialogue/Acting: The dialogue has a certain nerdy quality to it that is to be expected in a sci-fi film. It does not ruin the film for casual viewers, but it doesn't make it easy, either. The acting of Chris Pine carries most of the film in order to help it stay afloat. Karl Urban's talents are wasted on a poorly realized character with little depth. Most other actors are average in their performances, but not exceptional. *Music/Sound Design: The score is repetitive and rather uninteresting. It does not heighten any emotions in any scene. The sound design is interesting and is one of the strengths of the film. It falls into the realm of sci-fi very well and provides an immersive soundscape. *Production Design/Special Effects: The set and locations are captivating and beautiful. Most of the film feels authentic and immersive. The wardrobe is less impressive. Much of the costume work feels uninspired. The special effects and visual effects are quite impressive, however. Nothing stands out as being fake or cheap looking.*Conclusion: "Star Trek" fails to impress in most instances, but it also keeps from being too disappointing.

carlmyers-80296 JJ Abrabs has done a great job of rebooting a franchise which is so sacred to science fiction fans that when they announced the decision of a reboot it was considered heresy by longtime fanboys. All the new actors adapt themselves to iconic roles and the special effects are low key but fantastic. Of course, the main question is- will new fans like it, or even understand the lore? Yes, they will. (Great sequences and fine acting make this a total winner).

megafartmikey J.J. Abrams ruined Star Trek by creating this alternate universe (trek) and employing Legend,Leonard Nimoy to make the transition. making him recognize Kirk & scotty to ease us in, then make him responsible for the changes in the timeline. By destroying Vulcan, he single handedly wiped 40 years (our time) and 400 years of star trek history. Bad Move. Not only is it a terrible story-line, it has been terribly cast as well. Also kirks middle name is thrown about far too much considering it took 3 seasons & 6 movies for it to be revealed. (originals of course) in this film it seems like overkill. Warp drive somehow became 'Bullet Drive' as the ship now just booms & disappears, in doing that, he took the awe out of going to warp. Then we get to Starship Battles... He even went to great measures to spoil phaser & torpedo fire. the thing that made Trek different from Star Wars was the full laser contact fire, now the ships phasers look & sound like Blasters from SW. Abrams spoiled this film on so many levels it has successfully put me off watching Anything written or directed by him.
