Entertainment: 6
As with the 2009 reboot of Star Trek, you don't have to be a fan of the William Shatner shows and movies to enjoy this sequel. It is a fast paced and fun movie that fully captures the magic of the Star Trek universe as entertainment. You will notice I said as "entertainment." In other words, this review is probably more targeted for those of us who are not Trekkies or Trekkers.
Writing: 5
This is a great script that does not take itself too seriously, but also, for the most part, does not get too campy. It has a few tie-ins to the old shows, but they mostly manage to write them into the script in a way that makes them relevant rather than simple homages to the past.
Presentation: 6
Fantastic visuals, with the feel of the 60s rolled beautifully forward. The acting is well delivered, and left me feeling like the this was an original presentation rather than a copy of the past.
Overall Score: 17 out of 21
While not a deep thinking film, this movie does what it does extremely well. It is well worth watching.
