BOSTON GLOBE SAYS: Trading on affections sustained over 40 years of popular culture, Star Trek does what a franchise reboot rarely does. It reminds us why we loved these characters in the first place.
I SAY: Witty dialogue, wormholes opening in time-space subplot, excellent cast, comic punch lines, sci-fi storyline, and larger-than-life special effects made this Star Trek reboot a intergalactic fare to be seen and enjoyed. I wouldn’t be surprised if this turned out to be the best US summer blockbuster of the year.
