Good for younger kids

This movie was cute and my kids (ages 6 and 8) definitely enjoyed it. I thought it was fine, but maybe I wasn't as excited about it as my kids because I've seen so many iterations of Romeo and Juliet. The refreshing thing for me was that this movie was Rated G and there wasn't any sophomoric language or behavior that I had to worry about my kids repeating. Overall it was well done and I appreciate having a movie option for my kids that was age-appropriate for a change!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Even Star Trek neophytes will love the story, the characters and the action, but for us trekkers from way back this movie surpassed the expectations! Not that mine were very high - I was prepared to be disappointed by a poorly conceived "prequel" - after all, the original actors really shaped these characters and who were these upstarts to come in and re-brand them? So I was truly surprised and then amazed at some of the portrayals - Kirk and Bones in particular. There was one subplot that was definitely unexpected, and while it was entertaining it doesn't seem true to the original series, but I'll let others decide that for themselves. I NEVER go see a movie twice in the theatre, but I may break my own rule for this one!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
