let me start by saying this film has a MUCH darker tone than the other two films. My son was 12 and enjoyed it but some kids in the theater were much younger and a few got scared at certain points. The situation was quickly resolved so it didn't last to long, but just be aware of that beforehand.
The story was terrific, and even if your a grown up, the end will leave a little tear in your eye. In was most emotional of the three in my opinion.
Overall a great movie for the family, just be aware of the darker tone, but do NOT be afraid to bring your kids its a worthy 3rd part to the franchise.
JJ Abrams and company deserve all the credit in the world! The story is perfect for a reboot of the series and all important the casting is just terrific. Dr. McCoy to me really steals the show when he is on screen...but everyone pays homage while still giving each of them a modern slant.
This is a GREAT movie not good GREAT...It IS a must see for trek fans and non trek fans alike. It is what the last 3 star wars movies should have been
Went with my 11 year old. While the movie was good it was not a classic, and i actually expected it to have a little more humor. It has lots of moments that will make you smile but very few that are laugh out loud funny.
Don't expect the 2nd coming of Toy Story, Cars or movies like that, this is a peg below but still a good movie and one that your kids will enjoy.
