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.

Not nearly as good as people say it is. Story arc collapses halfway thru then it feels like a clumsy race to the end.
Cons bad acting, slow

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!!!

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!

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

This one lived up to all its hype. It was nearly non-stop action. The space and flight sequences were fantastic. The denial that Kahn was the bad guy sucked me in and I was surprised to learn he was. While I have heard some don't like the fact there was "no fresh or new material," I like the way connections to the old series are maintained. I also really enjoyed the fact that just as I thought the movie was ending, there was still so much more. The only downer - there won't be a new movie to watch next week!

The first J.J. Abrams reboot of Star Trek was so amazingly well done and entertaining, I was afraid Into Darkness would not be that great. Well there’s nothing to fear in this Sequel with its non-stop action and first rate story telling. Trek 2009 masterfully told the back story of Kirk and Spock. This time around, we see their friendship firmly solidify as they face life and death. There are a few great surprises in the story that I won’t divulge. Look out for some characters that have appeared before in the Star Trek catalogue. There’s a lot packed into this two hour epic tale. It was truly entertaining and exciting – A perfect Summer Flick! Rarely does a sequel outshine the original; Star Trek Into Darkness is the exception.

Wow. This one is even better than the first one. I love how they tied in what we already know about the characters. Everything makes perfect sense. The actors are terrific and the action is awesome.

The special effects, camera work and fast pace were for me the things that drove this film. The retelling or "reboot" is enhanced by the casting, especially for the Dr. McCoy and Commander Scott characters. Great action.

A true Trekkie here and I couldn't be happier. Chose to view in 2D. Do not like 3D films. And if you think back and study Gene Roddenberry, he was a damn genius. Got goosebumps every time the Enterprise went to warp speed. And originally, i was skeptical and didn't buy into new actors for the crew but these actors aced the roles. LOVE THIS FILM.

Loved the movie ... It exceeded my expectations. For those of us that grew up on the original series and movies, this film manages elements and characters and references from all very cleverly. Very entertaining, some good twists, and an all-around fun and entertaining ride! Well done!
Pros well paced, great story, great actors

I just saw it and I'm ready to go back again...and again, and again! Taking the classic story of Kahn and rebooting it into a whole new context was brilliant. The new Trek operates on an "alternate timeline", yet they are cleverly melding the legacy of Trek into a whole new vision. J.J. Abrams has outdone himself. The future of Trek is in good hands.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, enhances the trek legacy
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I loved this movie! It had a lot of action, great special effects and the added bonus of every character from the original Star Trek crew represented with new actors that understood the importance of capturing their original actor's voice inflections and personality "quirks". Looking forward to more Star Trek movies in the future.
Pros great actors, great special effects
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The reason I am giving this movie four stars instead of five, is that the plot was not original. C'mon Mr. Abrams, how about a storyline that has not already been done? I thought the acting was outstanding though - kudos to the cast and crew!
Pros well paced, great actors, excellent effects
Cons story not original
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I loved the first movie and was looking forward to the sequel. The story was ok, but has been done so many times and is very predictable. The special effects were great but you get tired of explosions and movies being only about special effects. The movie had great potential but it just did not come through. I looked at my watch 4 times during the movie, as it could have been 20 minutes shorter. Save you money and rent it when it comes out. Oh well, there is already part 3.
Cons slow
No, I do not recommend this movie.

The storyline is to die for. The Cast as the Crew (all reprising their original roles) are BRAVO. 3 surprising twists: the super power villain, Kirks death/re-birth and Dr. Carol Marcus's appearance.
