Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

davegreen-04041 The best Star Trek film so far. Great acting and a truly mind blowing story line.

jdhb-768-61234 As a long standing fan of 'Star Trek' I've watched it develop and change over the years but 'Star Trek : Into Darkness' is by far the worst of the genre.This film has nothing of the original Star Trek left. There is none of the moral compass and none of the humour; in fact, there is very little of anything except noise, flashing images, shouting, more noise, impossible 'action', more noise and a quite incomprehensible story line. The characters are paper thin, the acting non-existent and the dialogue nearly so; all has been sacrificed on the altar of cgi, no doubt in order to attract modern audiences who seem to prefer the never-ending 'crash bank wallop' that this allows to anything which is remotely realistic. Kirk, Spock and the rest rush around doing who-knows-what and the whole thing adds up to a pile of nonsensical tripe. Benedict Cumberbatch resurrected as the great villain Khan is a joke; the gung-ho behaviour of Kirk, and even Spock, betrays their original characters and Simon Pegg's Scotty defies description. There is no subtlety, only brashness and violence. I repeat - this is tripe.

Ryan Micheal Trainor I was quite surprised by all of the negativity in the reviews until I realized that most of it was from hardcore trekkie fans who are trashing the movie because it's not Gene Roddenberry's "vision" or w/e. I get that fans feel a certain way about the originals but I'm shocked that they can't appreciate JJ Abrams' movies as being good, albeit different. With most of the negative reviews being a 1/10, it reminds me of a bunch of toddlers who have gotten their toys taken away. If you put Into Darkness into your narrow box, expect to be disappointed. If you are open to enjoying the movie without expectations, expect to enjoy it! I remember my big concern was that the trailer gave away the plot but I was happily proved wrong and was very impressed with the character development and plot. There were a couple of things (like the warp battle) that lowered my overall score but it was a great movie. Definitely not a 1/10. Oh haters. ..

Hombredelfuturo I know before to watch this movie what type of silliness I would expect but it is merely a product with the right name on it to captures long time fanatics and to try to generate new ones. So the only things in common with the original are the names and characters; nothing about the script belongs to Star trek. Actually the characters like the Doctor and captain Kirk look more like cartoonish versions. Star trek is not an action story "per se" is more in the psychological human factors hand on hand with the advances of the technologies and the curiosity of what could be up there in the outer space saga. Sharing and learn stuff with other civilizations. In this episode is all about militarization, cold war; egotists, explosions and fist fights! lots of them! Incredible. The reactions of the characters are too simple and basic human responses. Kirk acts as a silly teenager couple of times.. Also the approach is "too North American" too "gringo" A very ugly San Francisco by the way. Could be choose to recreate a new city..-Remember the big notice and commotion about the NY twin towers incident well, here you ll see half of S Francisco smashed by a giant space ship with thousands or millions of people dying and immersed in the ultimate horror in a devastated city...or dozens of the crew members (of course NEVER EVER an important character) dying in the outer space flying away from the Enterprise...nothing of that seem important; material that you can make several stories and movies about it but all was taken SO light.The special effects are OK, so there s no over use or abuse of its. The Enterprise inside etc looks pretty good. The customs are pretty good. The pace of the movie is right regarding an action movie. The main actor does not look right for the kirk character is for me like this actor that does the character of James Bond in the lasts 007 movies.
