It’s been thirty years since I last found myself at the movies, rooting for a black hole.
(Gregory Weinkauf, Ubercine)
Star Trek isn't a movie so much as a confirmation of TV's cultural dominance. It's watchable, yet still terrible cinema, a [movie] designed for adolescent awe... This Star Trek sells cuteness, sentimentality and explosive F/X as if Starship Troopers, Minority Report, Mission to Mars or even Blade Runner or The Matrix (all visionary standard-setters) never happened.
(Armond White, New York Press)
The film has its flaws. The baddies are unmemorable, despite the presence of Eric Bana as a tattooed, spit-flecked Romulan psychopath. The climax is similarly limp, opting for the traditional one-on-one space battle rather than something more dynamic and explosive.
(Tom Huddleston, Time Out)
