The whole family went. 6 year and 4 year old girls, and 2 year old boy. They all loved it. Great laughs for the kids and us too. I was worried about taking the younger ones but it was perfectly fine. Cute movie of boy meets girl, and girl's daddy! I recommend it for families with kids 2-3 on up.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors

I couldn't give this film a high enough rating. 10 stars. My husband and I were both entertained.
First and foremost the effects were stunning. They have finally gotten it right. Lighting, shading, real/cgi mix - awesome. That being said, I agree with the other reviewers that there were WAY too many analogies in the storyline. Indians, for example... most of the movie was slow and steady, but watchable. I'm glad I went to see it - I may go back to see it in 3D too.
I've been a Star Trek fan since the original series. Though I wasn't born when it first aired, I was an avid watcher of the reruns in the 70s and 80s. I enjoyed most of the Star Trek movies and the only spinoff I really liked and watched faithfully was The Next Generation. I think this "reboot" movie does the original series justice, while including all of us who have been loyal along the way. Yes, I cried in the first 5 minutes of the movie. It was action packed, hilarious at times, in-your-face effects, and had a solid plot. It was great seeing it at the IMAX with a theater full of people who knew the characters enough to "Get It" and the new time twist - I love it. Though I must say, I have no idea how or what can top this.
