Really enjoyed this movie. Great story, lots of action. Love the way the director wove parts of the "Wrath of Khan" into the script. The inclusion of tribbles was priceless. Watching the relationship between Kirk and Spock grow into the tight knit team we all know made it more fun to watch. I recommend this movie.

I'm a big Star Trek fan and really enjoyed the last one. But I felt they could of done a better job with who the villian was in the movie. Once you figure out who it is, all I could do was shake my head. Storyline could of been better. Acting and special effects were great!
Pros great actors

I'm usually the guy you see at the end of a Star Trek movie arguing about facts in the movies. Ignore what some of these people are saying- if you saw the last movie, it's an alternate timeline, and anything goes! I'll admit, when I found out who the enemy was I was slightly disappointed, but then the movie takes a few very nice unexpected turns... Go ahead and watch Wrath of Khan before seeing this movie, and it'll hit you even harder... There are also little fact bits from Deep Space Nine and Enterprise if you look for them... I've seen every episode from every Trek series, and this was a great movie, for fans new and old!!!

I am a Trekkie. I have have watched all the different series and movies. Some are better than others. The new motion picture series with the altered timeline has so many possibilities using well known characters.
I thoroughly enjoyed their version of this character's story (trying not to spoil). There was nonstop action, character interaction, amazing visual effects and old favorites with a twist. I highly recommend this movie for old or new Star Trek fans.
Pros great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I was hesitant about going to see this movie but with the PG13 rating I figured it might be something I would like. I am not into a lot of violence and this movie did deliver with the PG13 rating! I really got into the movie and enjoyed it a lot! Amazing how the actors resembled the original Star Trek actors! It was fun, exciting and definitely a "must see" for me! We also tried the Marquee seating for the first time and was very pleased with the experience!!! I will be going to this movie theatre again!!! Nice to have close to home also!!!! GREAT SHOWING!!!
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, family friendly

For some strange reason the writers seem to think they must always refer back to the future legendary scenes or scripts of Spock and Kirk
you convinced us in the first movie that these are the younger Spock and Kirk go on already. Other than that it is a spectacular movie!

This movie fulfills the promise of the first reboot of the Star Trek universe. While the story stands on its own it contains enough signature bits of Star Trek lore to satisfy the most long-term fan. As the film progressed the viewer felt that the crew was really welding into the family that together can overcome any problem. I want to live in this world!

Thoroughly enjoyed this movie! I was so glad it wasn't another movie that you look forward to and are let down. This movie had it all! Characters that are like able and believable, loved the dialogue and humor! Can't wait to see it again and again (like the last one). Cast is very well chosen. Glad they are sticking to the franchise. Hope there is more to come!
Pros great story, great actors, great humor

So let’s be clear from the start, Star Trek into Darkness is not your father’s Star Trek! J. J. Abrams proves once again he can, and should, be trusted with America’s cultural icons. This Star Trek is a frenetically paced action thriller that will keep you glued to your seat and enthralled for more than two hours.
Abrams picks up smartly from where his original Star Trek left off. All of the original cast and crew are back, including fan faves Chris Pine as Captain Kirk, Zach Quinto as Spock, Zoe Saldana as Lt. Uhura, xx as Dr. “Bones” McCoy, Simon Pegg as Chief Engineer Scotty, xx as Lt. Sulu, and xx as Pilot Antov Checkov. More about each later, but its important to note that note only does this film help flesh out each character and their backstory, but Abrams has done a masterful job at setting up future films in the franchise, and important roles for each member of the crew.
Where Star Trek into Darkness exceeds the first movie, however, is the storyline. Gone is the convoluted space / time travel that bogged the first movie down so that Leonard Nimoy could be included in the original Abrams’ reboot. Instead, Abrams does what he does best—present non-stop action that literally hurtles the story’s characters, and by extension the viewing audience, from one breathless adventure to the next. The movie opens with the Enterprise monitoring a primitive culture on Niburu, and despite longstanding Starfleet orders not to interfere or interact with native cultures, the crew elects to stop an exploding volcano that would eliminate the Niburu race. When the mission imperils the life of a key crew member, however, Captain Kirk elects to violate Starfleet protocols to save the at-risk crew member and the result is a primitive culture is exposed to a higher culture with both hilarious results and an explanation for why the Mayans and the Egyptians perhaps made the paintings they did so many years ago.
Back on earth, however, Kirk presents an “abbreviated” report of the incident, one that might have escaped further scrutiny except Spock filed a report with a truthful account of the incident. As a result, Kirk is sent back to the Academy, while Spock and other crew members are assigned to different ships. Kirk’s demotion is short-lived, however, when a deranged terrorist attacks Starfleet headquarters, and Kirk is again given command to track down the fugitive from justice, who has chosen to hide out on planet Coronos, which is in the Klingon Empire.
All of this occurs in the first 40 minutes of the movie, leaving plenty of time to introduce new characters and set up the premise for what should be several more films in the franchise.
More importantly, J.J. Abrams knows that there are three keys to a successful Star Trek movie:
1. Center the action around Kirk facing moral dilemnas that require him to make choices with costs;
2. Have a villain with depth of character and a back story to rival that of Kirk; and
3. Always allow the protagonist to think outside of the box in order to defeat evil.
Here, he succeeds magnificently. Benedict Cumberbatch plays John Harrison, a disgraced Star Fleet officer now hell bent on destroying the very institution he once belonged to. The battle of wits between Harrison and Kirk recall the finest moments of Kirk’s battles against Mudd and other galactic giants with whom he tangled. But few individuals in the Star Trek universe come close to the vile and contemptible evil radiating from Harrison. Cumberbatch, who most will remember from his roles in Warhorse and in The Hobbit, relishes the ability to personify evil. His Harrison is at times a brilliant strategist, a ruthless and cunning adversary, and a complete brute capable of crushing the skull of an individual who no longer deems useful. The result is that Harrison venom and hatred, and proves throughout the movie that he is always one step ahead of the Enterprise crew.
If there are any downsides to the movie, it is that Abrams and his writing crew over-rely on the tried and true catch phrases to personify the characters. Dr. McCoy doesn’t need to say “Dammit, Jim, I’m a doctor not a nuclear physicist” in every movie. The audience knows and loves “Bones” and it’s time to up his banter. Likewise, the denounment for Into Darkness leaves the viewer slightly dissatisfied with the blanket copy of a climatic scene from another Star Trek film. Yet Trekkers, do not despair because Abrams provides yet another plot device that not only allows viewers to leave the movie satisfied, but helps answers future questions about how Kirk can withstand a physical beating time and time again. To reveal more would be to spoil the fun for those who haven’t seen Into Darkness, but regardless of whether you are a lifelong Star Trek fan or new to the genre, this film will not disappoint. Stylish and driven, it doesn’t afford you the opportunity to reflect too very long before another action sequence catapults a pivotal character into danger.
Finally, a word about which Star Trek into Darkness to see. The movie was filmed in IMAX, and if there was ever a movie to see in IMAX, this is it. The void of space never seemed so large, and the ability to showcase the size of the ships versus the size of earthly objects is truly overwhelming. The IMAX presentation captures this size differential better than your average print and truly proves worth the extra price of a ticket. The 3D adaptation came afterward, and although it doesn’t detract from the film, it doesn’t add much either. In fact, I found the only part of the movie in 3D that I enjoyed were the post-film credits, which were superimposed over a stunning 3D paintings of the universe. My vote is to save your money and skip a 3D version for an IMAX version—you may never go back to a traditional theater again!
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Cons copies older films too much
Yes, I recommend this movie.
