Editorial Reviews
The result is not only by far the best of the 11 Star Trek movies, it must rank as the outstanding prequel of all time... The picture moves at a terrific pace, and is a satisfying tale of good versus evil, with Eric Bana a highly hissable villain... This is space opera on a mythic scale, and it's stirring stuff
Daily Mail (10/06/2009)
A grand success - perhaps a new populist benchmark in what to do with a flagging franchise, and a witty, light-on-its-feet prequel... May it live long and prosper, by which we mean, sequels, soon, please
Daily Telegraph (10/06/2009)
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
Empire (10/06/2009)
The clever and infectious reboot of the amazingly enduring sci-fi classic, director J.J. Abrams crafts an origin myth that avoids any hint of the origin doldrums. That's because he rewires us back into the original Star Trek's primal appeal
Entertainment Weekly (10/06/2009)
Though it has its over-caffeinated aspects and its missteps, this Star Trek has in general bridged the gap between the old and the new with alacrity and purpose
Los Angeles Times (10/06/2009)
A testament to television's power as mythmaker, as a source for some of the fundamental stories we tell about ourselves, who we are and where we came from
New York Times (10/06/2009)
We were also glad to see they didn't ignore the humorous elements that made the original so great. Plus, the casting is spot on
Premiere (10/06/2009)
A burst of pure filmmaking exhilaration that manages to pay homage to the classic 1960s TV series and still boldly go where no man, William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy included, has gone before
Rolling Stone (10/06/2009)
Even in comparison with the original series, let alone the Next Generation offshoots, this new Star Trek delivers entertainment of a surprisingly high order
The Independent (10/06/2009)
Action movie of the year!
The Sun (10/06/2009)
Abrams' film is a rollicking space adventure that makes you fall in love with the original series all over again
The Times (10/06/2009)
Deceptively clever: it works both as affectionate fanboy nostalgia and as a neophyte’s introduction to the 'Trek'-verse
Time Out (10/06/2009)
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
