Star Trek

"Blasting onto the screen at warp speed and remaining there for two hours, the new and improved 'Star Trek' will transport fans to sci-fi nirvana." 

"The Gene Roddenberry years, when stories might play with questions of science, ideals or philosophy, have been replaced by stories reduced to loud and colorful action. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)." 

"A bright, shiny blast from a newly imagined past." 

"J.J. Abrams gives the Starship Enterprise all it's got, and it's more than enough. (...) spectacular action sequences rendered brilliantly and with a cast so expert that all the familiar characters are instantly identifiable" 

"A fresh frontier: In the best prequel ever, 'Star Trek' reboots the franchise and reminds us why we love it. (...) I just about wept with joy, and I'm not even a Trekkie." 

"A burst of pure filmmaking exhilaration (...) I couldn't be more surprised. (...) Abrams, a director of style and substance, who fuels this origin story with killer action, bracing wit and a sense of true discovery. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" 

"Odd-number curse be gone. The most exhilarating Trek to date marks a new future for Kirk and co. If this can boldly go on to seek out ideas to match its speed and style, a franchise is reborn. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"A stupendous production, Star Trek goes where no movie sequel or prequel has gone before in bringing intelligence and invention to a peak in cinematic storytelling."
