Great film - so well cast and satisfying on loads of cool levels. 👍

This is a superficially great movie-beautifully shot, great cast, well acted, decent script, and is well paced. But there is something safe and antiseptic about it. It seems to be made by a master movie-maker, a master craftsman, but not a master story-teller or an artist. It lacks great scenes, great quotes, great moments, and though it grazes these at times, one suspects it does through exhuming the greatness of a previous auteurs vision, through mining the sparkling dynamic between Kirk, Spock and their gang. Ironically it lauds Kirks risk-taking maverick qualities, whilst sorely lacking these itself, a movie seemingly made by numbers. It’s an imitation of a great movie, and though a great imitation, not great in itself, only superficially so, ultimately leaving no lasting residue in your soul. Still worth a watch though.

this is a great movie that brings life back to the star trek series

What Star Trek was always meant to be if it had the budget. Characters true to the originals

JJ Abrams totally rocked this reboot. Great action, humour and acting. Highly commended for anyone, even if you aren't a Trekkie. Nice work!!!

I wasn't really a star trek fan I mean I did watch the show sometimes. This film was brillant it had a great cast and a great story to it. For everyone who didn't watch star trek give this film a chance I did and I fairly enjoyed it.

lots of clever time travel and amazing action! much better than star trek the motion picture.

One of the best movies I have ever seen... Period!

I have to disagree with some of the reviews here, in the sense that this film does not depart from the original genera. If anything it's a modern interpretation of the original Star Trek with a new,but familiar captain, and new first officer and crew on the Bridge of the Enterprise. Fast paced action with plenty of special effects, the film does well to enlighten us of the original characters, and stays with the original Star Trek in every detail in terms of the cast characters. The cast do more than hold their own, and fans of the genera will not be disappointed. The script has the feel of a modern comedy action adventure, while the plot is a bit thin to say the least, but this is Star Trek and story-lines with great substance have never been the priority. It is nonetheless a great piece of entertainment and takes the audience to where they have been before thank god - to relive and reinvent a timeless classic. It succeeds on many levels and surpassed, by a proverbial mile, my limited and cautious expectations.

When will iTunes get the message... You can buy the film for £5 on bluray, and I hear you say "but I want to watch it on my iPad ect" well there is a program to covert it save your money get the bluray..

Im a big fan of the first made for TV series and have seen many an episode from that era. The blendng of the story line I thought would have been cheap and cheesy but it actually works. The trailer hardly does it justice and its a film to linger long in your memory after seeing it. The humour is excellent and had me chuckling. Credit to the young actor playing Bones or director for doing their homework. He had all his one-liners to perfection. Can't wait to watch the sequel.

Great film but how the hell do I download only standard def?

So many cash-ins crap. Now we finally get a film worthy enough of Star Wars. can't wait to see Into Darkness now.

Love this film. Action packed, great acting and funny!!

Absolutely brilliant , I say with the upmost security. You will not miss a film like this without regretting it for your whole life. It deserves its five star rating, more than any other film. I may be young but I have watched all the "older" Star Trek films and they are brilliant , this cannot be classed as a remake of the "old" one but more of an addition to the "older" ones . I think the plot and write up of this new Star Trek is amazing and the addition of great Hollywood FX and outstanding scenery is a bonus that makes the whole film seem real and flawless. All in all an amazing film , but I do have one thing to say…. Wherever they can put it , and seriously , WHEREVER THEY CAN PUT IT , they will add flipping LENS FLARES….. In every scene theres a big glimpse of light across the whole scene and even when theres little light theres lens flares. But one of my favourite films to date , up there with Monty Python, Top secret, Star Trek into darkness, The lord of the rings trilogy . Seriously Watch it , and I can't believe you read my review , Well Done!

Jonathan ;)

this is a great film

Have never been a treky but this film has drawn me into the star trek universe amazing film, cant wait for the sequel

The film had a download error and I wasn't able to watch it but still had to pay for it. Please refund or allow me to redownload.

Dipped in and out of a few old Star Trek films....felt like I was cheating on my Princess Leah though.

I watched this film because I'd ran out of films to watch on a long haul flight.

What a film!!! Fantastic, great story, very clever.

I've told anyone who hasn't watched the first film to watch it, so u can appreciate a sure to be cracking second film.

You really don't have to be a si-fi nut to watch this film.

Stewart.

For all fans of Star Trek they should like this a lot and for all those who never liked or got into it, you should love this film, truly great film with plenty of action, wits, emotions and great acting. Plot is great and you'll want to re watch.

The original Star Trek was comprised of deep, moral questioning and philosophising; this movie contains lots of explosions, people shooting at each other and an incoherent plot.

If you like intelligent, erudite sci-fi to that makes you think, then this isn't for you; if you like movies where people blow stuff up, you'll love it

This feature is more palatable to a wider audience due to the simpler plot and the phenomenal action sequences. You will enjoy this.

This is by far the best Star Trek film I have seen. Great actors, great story line and funny in parts. Can't wait for into darkness to come out now. Absolute must watch.

The definition of a PERFECT sci fi film

A plot that could have been written by a 5 year old, terrible direction and a lack of an understanding of what makes Star Trek Star Trek. This film is aimed at those that just want to see explosions in space.

Awesome movie but why is there no HD version to purchase?!?

One of my favourite star treks ever

Why isn't this movie available to buy in HD from the Apple Store? Rental only? Poor.

Amazing movie! And I'm not even a star trek fan.. 5*

Loved, loved, loved this. Reboots the whole ST concept with real style. Chris Pine gives us a Kirk just the perfect side of send up. Zachary Quinto is startling - especially standing next to the original Spock. Karl Urban is almost better than DeForest Kelly. And Chris Hemsworth will break your heart in less than 10 minutes screen time. Best of all it's an effects laden SciFi epic that actually understands structure and pacing. If you missed it, catch it now.

Lens flair. There's a lot of it but it all adds to the first class special effects. The story is all right and the cast does a decent job of carrying it along. A great summer blockbuster.

Lol

Cannot fault this film for delivering non-stop action and engagement. Brilliant casting and dialogue. Have seen it twice and enjoyed it even more.

WATCH IT!!!!!!

This is the only star trek film I've ever seen, I've never even seen the TV show. I watched because of the amazing reviews and I wasn't disappointed! This was amazing!

I have never got I into star trek but this is very different, the episodes of star trek always seem to be slow but this was so different , you should really watch this!

ABSOLOUTLY AMAZING!!! Never been interested in star trek before but this was a film with an incredible array of SFX and great acting aswell as an intriguing plot line. Not to be missed at any cost. A MUST SEE.

Oh yea this film is oooookkkkkeeeey

I have not seen all the star trek films but it doesn't matter if this film is not "exactly" like the originals and it doesn't have to be. It's a good film and a film to relax whilst watching. So what it has little differences from the original. WAKE UP and smell the warp drive !!!! it's the 21st century ! It's great

This. Film. Is. EMENCI !!! it is all about the orignal Startrek series, but minus the cheesy effects (no offence to anybody who happens to like the particular effects in the orginal series) but seriously, this film is full of action from start to finish, and i gaurente you will not find a boring moment in it. also you immedtiatley know this film is about star Trek, and if you do decide to watch it, you'll know what i'm on about! however, at first you may find it lsightly complicated, as the timeline does jump around abit. But overall this film is fantastic! :D

The effects are good but that is to be expected from any Hollywood release nowadays... Plot is awful, full of factual errors, physical impossibilities, character flaws and the ship sets for the re-imagined ship looks, feels and sounds like a toy... As far as I'm concerned I should be compensated for the time that I wasted watching this travesty of a trek movie. Utter waste...

A good old treky film. It may even be the best one hmmmmmm. Not putting my head on the block.

good service, well delivered

Having been an off/on Star Trek fan over the years, I was keen to see what the new instalment of Star Trek would bring to the new masses. We were not disappointed. From a sentimental perspective, there are all the main characters from the original Star Trek series/films with the added bonus of an intimate insight into how they meet and become the characters we all know and love.

Cannot wait for the second installment of this action packed, heart warming, spine tingling journey.

The great thing about this movie is that it's a really good starting place for people who have never been in to Trek before, another great thing about this movie is that it's also great for long time Treckers who have been watching since they were kids. This movie has lots of little nods to the die hard fans but not at the expence of the plot or to the extent that the film is confusing if you don't get them... in fact you may not even notice them if you're not familiar with the series. If you're a Star Trek fan that for what ever reason hasn't seen this movie before then I'm telling you to buy it (you can thank me later) because you'll love it. If you're not really in to Trek but you enjoy Action/Adventure with a bit of Comedy then again you will love this movie and at the very least it's worth a rent if not a buy.

My new faverouite film!!! Packed full of awesome, spine tingling graphics, an intelligent yet perfectly executed plot and a fantastic re-vitalisong of the franchise, it is a must buy.

You need to see this film! It has everything you want in a movie. Pure amazing film making. watch it!!!!

The best movie I've ever seen.

Worth every penny!

this film is amazing! although the complete re-writing made the storyline a little far feched it actually made sense. for any of you people who get wound up by plots going against the rules of physics this film wont anoy you... ;)
