The Star Trek franchise reboot has everything I want in a movie – crisp dialogue, loads of humour, high-action plot, romance, nostalgia, engaging characters – and explosions. Lots, and lots of explosions.
As with the first prequel, the casting made the movie. Quinto has become the new standard for Spock, and Kirk fits Pine like a second skin. Simon Pegg's Scotty steals every scene he's in. Some day I hope they release an outtakes reel from the making of ST:ID – I'm betting the cast had *way* too much fun making this warp-speed gem of a flick.

Cons physics – it's the law
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Boom goes the dynamite

What a seriously awful movie. Nic, you sold your soul for a Twinkie - what were you thinking? Dark, dreary, war-torn east European scenery. 10 times the special effects of the 2007 movie, but none of the charm, and none of the fun. A mostly unrecognizable cast (Chris Lambert, I expected better from you as well). Doesn't even hang together with the original movie - details and characters changed, losing everything in the process. Waste of money.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Refreshingly Un-Disney-fied

It would have been so simple to aim for the cheap feel-goodery of the typical PG-rated animal movie, but this film takes a bolder path and entertains us with a maximum of humanity and a minimum of sap. Family friendly in a we-talked-about-it-for-hours-afterwards way, with great characters and memorable dialogue.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I don't think I've laughed this much at a movie in a long time — my husband and I enjoyed this movie as much or more than our 9 and 13-year olds.
Sight gags, brilliant dialogue, seamless special effects, all delivered at breakneck speed by a cast that was having way too much fun. Stiller delivers, but Hank Azaria stole the show — despite the fact that there were *two* monkeys in the cast.
Somebody's getting this in their Christmas stocking.
