Search: ‘Star Trek’

JJ Abrams rescues Rodenbury's creation from the pop culture scrap heap and produces a very likeable romp.

The film is tightly and crisply edited with nothing wasted on frippery or dull speeches.

An enormously satisfying adventure, made with skill and care.

Suffers imagination malfunction.

The story requires a brain transplant. It's not complicated, so much as lost in the land of Loony.

Robert Wise's w-i-d-e-s-c-r-e-e-n compositions are beautiful and he really manages to lift Trek from the small screen to the cinema screen.

The film’s flaws come primarily in the weak villain and some irritating editing and plotting choices.

The baddie's been beefed up, the plot's been pared down, but the emotional core which really sold the first film—the magnificent character interaction—remains unscathed.
