Fast paced, action filled movie with something for everyone. Some of the characters are developed further from the 2009 movie, and there are plenty of nods to the original 1960's series for those looking for them.
My only complaint was that the baddie was a bit derivative as was a few key scenes later in the movie. Fans new to the Star Trek world may not care/know this, but as an old school fan, it was obvious. . If this was 100% original, then it would've received a full five stars from me.

A great compliment to the many stand alone 'origin stories' this one takes established characters and ties them all together in one big adventure. Plenty of action and a good story as well. Totally recommended!
Pros great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Mindless OK fun for kids

Probably the worst animated movie of the year so far. I went when there was a theater full of kids and hardly any laughs were heard- what does that tell you?
The kids liked it OK, but were hard pressed to talk about their favoriate parts... seems forgettable. Many 'nods' to classic sci-fi movies, but boring for parents otherwise.
I had tempered expectations, but even those were not met.

A GREAT Movie for Trek and non-Trek fans Alike!

Co-written by a Trek fan and a non-Trek fan. Non scifi fan: great mix of character, humor, drama. Scifi language light, action doesn’t detract. Don't have to be Trek fan to enjoy! There is plenty of action and the 2 hours goes by fast. Movie was well paced. The special effects are very good. Most all main characters get decent screen. Trek fan: No plot holes jumped out in the first viewing. Plenty of Trek references. Nimoy isn’t a cameo- important to the plot. Changes to Trek history are explained. One of best Trek movies to date. Two knocks: 1. Too much jittery camera effects / close ups which got annoying 2. Eric Bana great, but Nero was typical baddie. Another 5 min to flesh him out would've helped, but movie was set up as fast paced.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

we brought a bunch of 6-8 year olds to this movie for a birthday party. Everyone loved it, even the adults. The 3D was great, and it was fun to watch the kids trying to catch things that seemed to come off of the screen.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
