Star Trek (2009)

"Boom. Star Trek is back. It’s action-packed, exciting, and visually spectacular – who would have thought that the dying sci-fi series could be resurrected into something this fun?"

"Blasting onto the screen at warp speed and remaining there for two hours, the new and improved Star Trek will transport fans to sci-fi nirvana."

"A revamp everyone can get on board with, from die-hards to those who wouldn’t be seen dead at a sci-fi convention. Buoyant, buffed and with the promise of even better to come, this is the freshest Trek in decades."

"This is a boy's own story, as it ever was. And a damned good one."

"It has been made by lovers of Star Trek but they are not afraid to give us interesting new twists."

"Near-brilliant reboot of the much-rejigged spaceship saga."

"A cracking script, classy special effects, excellent performances and cast chemistry, and still loyal to the sci-fi Trek brand."

"Paced at warp speed with spectacular action sequences rendered brilliantly and with a cast so expert that all the familiar characters are instantly identifiable."

"Odd-number curse be gone. The most exhilarating Trek to date marks a new future for Kirk and co. If this can boldly go on to seek out ideas to match its speed and style, a franchise is reborn."

"I'll be surprised if I see a better blockbuster this year."
