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.
It simply can not be stated enough how effectively Abrams and his crew have revived and repositioned not just the franchise but the 'space opera' genre itself.
The costumes were a microcosm of the entire project, which was how to take something that's kind of silly and make it feel real. But how do you make legitimate those near-primary color costumes?
make funny eyes and faces at the actors whenever they had a problem with the line and sort of nod when they had something better
With its shiny young cast and breezy tone, the rebooted Star Trek is a bit like 90210 set in space, but in Chris Pine's Captain Kirk, the franchise has found a solid gold star.
J.J. Abrams gives the Starship Enterprise all its got, and it's more than enough... Paced at warp speed with spectacular action sequences rendered brilliantly and with a cast so expert that all the familiar characters are instantly identifiable, the film gives Paramount Pictures a new lease of life on its franchise.
this film is Star Trek for people who have never seen the shows or the movies, and furthermore need their characters drawn in broad strokes and the philosophies explicitly explained in monologue.
scene where they're talking to Apollo [who says], 'I am Apollo.' And Chekov is like, 'And I am the czar of all Russias.' [...] They gave him these lines. I mean he really is the weirdest, weirdest character.
I would be so agonizingly envious of whoever stepped in and directed the movie.
never felt as though Kirk or Spock were in genuine peril.
[...] it is pleasant to report that though it's not perfect, the reconstituted "Star Trek" is successful enough for everyone to breathe a sigh of relief. 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.
a huge Trekkie when [he] was a kid
Han Solo wasn't friends with anyone when they started on their journey.
science fiction at its finest.
little bipolar actually!
Summer officially hits warp speed with Star Trek, 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. [...] It's an irresistible invitation for fun. What more can you ask of a summer movie?
I grew up listening to all of that great [Trek] music, and that's part of what inspired me to do what I'm doing [...] You just go in scared. You just hope you do your best. It's one of those things where the film will tell me what to do.
This summer, after Abrams’s explosive epic has nerve-pinched all the opposition, back gardens and parks will ring with the sound of young boys zapping imaginary phasers as they play Kirk and Spock.
[...] Star Trek is neither a franchise nor a property. It's a world. Abrams' cannily constructed prequel respects (for the most part) the rules of that world and, more importantly, retains the original Star Trek's spirit of optimism, curiosity, and humor.
I feel like there's a certain thing that you can't really hold onto, which is kind of the kitschy quality. That must go if it's going to be something that you believe is real.
It's a real family film, relatively light on the violence and funny without being overly crude; it even has some touching moments.
It isn't just a great Star Trek movie: it's a great movie full stop.
Buoyant, buffed and with the promise of even better to come, this is the freshest Trek in decades.
it was surreal to direct him as Spock, because what the hell am I doing there? This guy has been doing it for forty years. It's like 'I think Spock would...'
no big deal
incredible gut
wouldn’t you rather see the new movie?
[There is a] level of security and secrecy that we have all been forced to adopt. I mean, it's really kind of paranoid crazy, but sort of justified. We're not allowed to walk around in public in our costumes and we have to be herded around everywhere in these golf carts that are completely concealed and covered in black canvas. The security of it is immense. You feel your freedom is a big challenge.
I read [the script] with a security guard near me – it's that secretive.
We have dealt with [Spock being half-human, half-Vulcan], but never with quite the overview that this script has of the entire history of the character, the growth of the character, the beginnings of the character and the arrival of the character into the Enterprise crew.

the venerable Star Trek series hasn’t so much been pulled out of storage with this new film as dusted off, broken down to its most basic parts, streamlined, and sent blazing off at an acute angle from its original course.
