Star Trek 2009

I think that this movie is pretty good. Compared to the second and third one though, It is not as exciting . It's really stressful because there is lots of alarms and yelling. There is a little bit of sexy stuff, but not a lot. The story is pretty confusing. In conclusion, I think this is not as good as 2 and 3 but its ok.

Good film for adults

It’s a fun film for an older crowd. This isn’t good for young viewers, within the first 20 minutes there was swearing (ass and bastard) a joke about having sex with animals, a kid calling spok’s mom a whore, multiple people getting drunk and a sex scene. Kirk starts off as a cocky delinquent stealing his step dads car, running from police and intentionally destroying it. He grows into a heavy drinking womanizer. So while it has entertainment value for adults, I highly recommend holding off on watching it with the kids.

The best Star Trek movie since “First Contact.”

Definitely PG-13, but “classic PG-13.” There are no F-bombs.

One of my least favorite movies

I was excited to watch this with my brothers, age 11 and 9. Right off the bat, there was a mild sex scene which made us all uncomfortable. The main character is a womanizer and unlikable, and I didn't find the other protagonists to be likable either. The storyline felt disjointed and anti-climactic; the ending is a bit lame. I usually like every movie I watch, so this was a surprise...maybe one of my least favorite movies.

Star Trek

Very good movie! Definitely a worthy Star Trek reboot. There's more violence and sexual stuff than previous Star Trek series and movies, but no way as bad as Discovery.
