Critic Reviews

  • Anthony Lane, New Yorker

    Most of the logic has leached away from this movie, and with it half of the fun.

  • Bob Mondello, NPR

    Happily, there's a good deal of fun if you like things crashing violently into each other and out of warp-drive at regular intervals.

  • Christopher Orr, The Atlantic

    For all its chasing and falling and fighting-and the movie supplies a great deal of each-Star Trek Into Darkness is at its best when the Enterprise crew are merely bickering and bantering among themselves: less space opera than soap opera.

  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

    The conceptual sci-fi of the original series is nowhere to be found, though you might enjoy watching the skinny young actors approximate their counterparts from the 60s; Chris Pine is especially good as Captain Kirk.

  • John Anderson, Wall Street Journal

    While the action is often electric, it's the relationships that matter. That, and a lippy regard for a cultural legacy.

    Awesome, awesome, AWESOME!!! Where do I begin? Maybe by saying that J.J. Abrams is an absolute genius that not only knows how to make a great film, but how to successfully follow up a masterpiece (Star Trek 2009) as well. His plots that involve twists and turns that keep you… More

    WOW, what a spectacular movie. I myself have never been a fan of Star Trek, but J. J. Abrams has made me a fan of his movies. the first one was good and this one just builds on to it. Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine are at their best, showing a friendship as realistic as real, and a… More

    Christopher Pike: Do you know what a pain you are? You think the rules don't apply to you. There's greatness in you, but there's not an ounce of humility. You think that you can't make mistakes, but there's going to come a moment when you realize… More

    I found the second J.J. Abrams' Star Trek to be far superior to the first, since it cares less about pleasing fans and more about pleasing everyone. Its an air-tight film with quick pacing, eye-popping special effects, and expectedly great direction. Its smart, witty, and… More
