Shubhra Gupta

The Indian Express

Star Trek works both as a nostalgia trip for those that remember, and a fun, on-the-run sci-fi flick for those that are Trekkie virgins.

Aside from the cool effects and surprise cameos from notable actor/director Tyler Perry and one of the U.S.S. Enterprise's original passengers Leonard Nimoy, there really wasn't much there.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Whether watching Kirk and Sulu skydive from space, a rural Mid-West dotted with vast interstellar towers, or Kirk do battle with a very ill-tempered beastie on a frozen moon, it's hard not to gape in wonder.

Rated: 4/5

Next Best Picture

This is not a Star Trek entry intended to please its hardcore fan base. It casts its net out to ensnare a wider audience. One laments what is lost in that endeavor, but it’s also hard to deny how splendid the ride can be in the end.

Rated: 8/10

Subculture Entertainment

If you are afraid of the ‘Star Trek’ brand don’t be… Abrams has done a wonderful job separating this from the past films and TV shows and you can watch this as an action sci-fi film that stands on it’s own two feet.

Rated: 4/5

Deep Focus Review

The exceptional thing about Abrams’ reimagining of the series, beyond being at once smart and more engaging than most other blockbusters, is that his film renews the franchise without starting from scratch.

Rated: 4/4

This movie was a wonderful prelude to tell the backstory of the NCC-1701 crew! It’s even better watching it in theaters because you get to pickup on all the subtle nuances of the storyline that just really pulls it al together. This was the start of a wonderful trilogy!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

In future startrek movies..please slow down the action as not to have to use your slow motion to comprehend. Also, not every action scene need full on philharmonic orchestra.
