If the goal of any movie is to entertain you, then this one definitely reached it. Ricky Gervais is great. The list of known castmembers extends far beyond the main characters and their well-timed cameo appearances make the scenes that they are in very special. If you are looking for a movie that has the answer for everything, then go see something else. This movie is endearing and worth its 100 minutes that it runs.
I don't know what the nay sayers are talking about. This movie was very exciting and did not fall into the sequel jinx that so many franchises do. If you're interested in it, then do yourself a favor and take your friends and family with you as well. Great movie.
After all the years of seeing Star Trek sequels that never seemed to live to the media hype and couldn't quite hit the mark, I am so happy that movie did the most basic of things: entertain. I have been a fan of Star Trek, but I don't consider myself a Trekkie. So I was able to watch this movie without bias, but I knew enough to enjoy all the slick homages to the original characters as well. I took a girl that I'm dating to the movie. She hates the entire Star Trek lore, but even she admitted to enjoying this film. In the end, we were entertained by this film. How could you argue with that?
