Most of the logic has leached away from this movie, and with it half of the fun.
Top CriticHappily, there's a good deal of fun if you like things crashing violently into each other and out of warp-drive at regular intervals.
For all its chasing and falling and fighting-and the movie supplies a great deal of each-Star Trek Into Darkness is at its best when the Enterprise crew are merely bickering and bantering among themselves: less space opera than soap opera.
The conceptual sci-fi of the original series is nowhere to be found, though you might enjoy watching the skinny young actors approximate their counterparts from the 60s; Chris Pine is especially good as Captain Kirk.
While the action is often electric, it's the relationships that matter. That, and a lippy regard for a cultural legacy.
The film is, for whatever else it might be, one of the funniest of the Star Trek entries.
J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness is a bigger and much louder sequel, which sacrifices brains and character building for expensive spectacle.
Cumberbatch, with his otherworldly aura of menace and basso profundo rumble of voice, makes a worthy and memorable Big Bad in the annals of Trek lore.
It's generally a lot of fun, but it's exhausting, and the busyness only somewhat disguises the fact that the story doesn't entirely make sense.
Suggests someone painting by numbers with Herculian intensity, and the effect is hollow and dispassionate.
Not as audacious or exciting as its predecessor but this sequel is still a fun summer ride.
...a terminally perfunctory followup that just barely gets the job done...
Far from going where no one has gone before, this Star Trek is only interested in retreating along its old tracks.
Either reinvent or stick to the source material, don't try to have your fun both ways. It doesn't work.
... a summer film that dimly reminds viewers of what it used to be - and could be again - while still being little more than a rollercoaster ride.
There's really very little to complain about in this warp-speed sequel.
so enjoyable that it becomes easy to forget that virtually everything in the film is a riff or spin on something we (including only casual Star Trek fans) have already seen
Thrilling if not exactly groundbreaking fun...yet something is missing this time around.
Moment to moment, it's as entertaining, rousing and visually impressive as any recent science-fiction action epic, but the script is cratered with illogical motivations and plot holes large enough to swallow Classic Trek's Doomsday Machine.
Even old-school Trekkers will enjoy this voyage.
J.J. Abrams' sequel is smart, fun, witty, essential sci-fi.
It feels a little "been there, done that" but it still entertains.
'Star Trek' safely does its job and is easily the first must-see action flick of the year.
Maintaining its reverence for the source material while employing an exuberant and clever script with one heck of a plot twist, Star Trek: Into Darkness is great fun and a more than worthy successor to the excellent first film.
Set phasers for fun with this blockbuster.

- Bones: Five years in the space, God help me!

- Scotty: Enterprise! Can you hear me?
- Kirk: Scotty!
- Scotty: Guess what I found behind Jupiter.
- Kirk: You're on that ship!
- Scotty: I snuck on and seeing as I've just committed an act of treason against a Starfleet Admiral, I'd really like to get off this bloody ship. Now, Beam me out!
- Kirk: You're a miracle worker.
-
- Kirk: Khan, Scotty. Scotty, Khan.

- Kirk: The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
- Spock: An Arabic proverb attributed to a prince who was betrayed and decapitated by his own subjects.
- Kirk: Still, it's a hell of a quote.
-
- Kirk: You used what he wanted against him. That's a nice move.
- Spock: It is what you would have done.
- Kirk: And this, this is what you would have done. It was only logical... I'm scared, Spock. Help me not be. How do you choose not to feel?
- Spock: I do not know. Right now I am failing.
- Kirk: I want you to know why I couldn't let you die, why I went back for you.
- Spock: Because you are my friend.
-
- Kirk: Spock, my display's dead. I'm flying blind.
- Spock: Captain, without your display compass, hitting your target destination is mathematically impossible.
- Kirk: Spock, if I get back, we really need to talk about your bedside manner.
