Critics' reviews

"Kudos to Abrams for going bigger without going stupid. His set pieces (...) are doozies. So's the movie. It's crazy good (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"It’s hard to emerge from 'Into Darkness' without a feeling of disappointment, even betrayal"

A. O. Scott: The New York Times
"'Into Darkness' may not boldly go where no 'Trek' adventure has gone before, but getting there is such a well-crafted, immensely pleasurable ride that it would be positively Vulcan to nitpick"

Scott Foundas: Variety
"After impressing well enough in his previous big screen directorial outings, Abrams works in a narrower, less imaginative mode here; there's little sense of style, no grace notes or flights of imagination"

Todd McCarthy: The Hollywood Reporter
"Spectacular special effects, superbly crafted action sequences, plenty of humor and terrific performances render it a cut above most summer blockbusters (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"

Claudia Puig: USA Today
"The new film works. It's rousing (...) rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"

Michael Phillips: Chicago Tribune
"Full of humor, some exciting scenes and some intelligent parallels between the world of the film and the political and moral issues facing us today"

Mick LaSalle: San Francisco Chronicle
