MCN Review by Kim Voynar

MCN Review by David Poland:  My central problem with the film is also what works about it, I think, for many audiences. It is a jack of all trades and a master of none. But it is so loaded with stuff… so anxious to please an audience… so busy… that if you don’t think about it too much, it feels like a reasonably entertaining summer movie ride.

I am not in love with this film. And I don’t hate this film. There is not enough substance to stir that much emotion about it, either way. My central problem with the film is also what works about it, I think, for many audiences. It is a jack of all trades and a master of none.  More>>

MCN Review:  Michael Wilmington

The latest Trek movie, called simply Star Trek, seems poised to make the biggest killing of the whole series. More than that, it strikes me as a genuinely audience-pleasing movie, one which should give a thrill to the mass audience, to the hard-core fans (Trekkies, Trekkers, Trekkums or whatever) — and even to moviegoers (there are probably a few)  who couldn’t care less or think Trek is dreck and that Spock was the baby manual their parents or grandparents used.
