Guess what has 100% positive reviews so far? HINT: Rhymes with "Bar Fleck".

Easily the best Trek movie since The Wrath of Khan, and a veritable feast of sight and sound. -
Joshua Tyler
CinemaBlend.com

Blasting onto the screen at warp speed and remaining there for two hours, the new and improved Star Trek will transport fans to sci-fi nirvana. -
Todd McCarthy
Variety

Paced at warp speed with spectacular action sequences rendered brilliantly and with a cast so expert that all the familiar characters are instantly identifiable, the film gives Paramount Pictures a new lease of life on its franchise. -
Ray Bennett
Hollywood Reporter

Revitalizing the stagnant franchise, the gifted, visionary Abrams has performed a magical act, a movie that stands on its own merits and will recruit new fans, a work that will please the old trekkies and one that points to potent direction in the future. -
Emanuel Levy
EmanuelLevy.Com

The result is a triumph, certain to be regarded as not just one Trek's better moments, but one of the finest films made in the sci-fi genre.
Ian Cuthbertson
The Australian

A stupendous production, Star Trek goes where no movie sequel or prequel has gone before in bringing intelligence and invention to a peak in cinematic storytelling. -

2. Waiting for this movie is killing me
I've watched every clip they've released so far several times. It looks like they not only nailed it, but they gave us a lot of stuff we didn't even know we desperately wanted.

8. Going to a midnight showing next week!
I am BEYOND excited right now for this movie. I've been waiting for a truly good Star Trek movie to come out for more than a decade, and it looks like they finally made one!

11. I'm counting the hours!
It's been decades since I stood in line for half a day to see the new Star Trek film on opening night. I'm digging out my comfortable shoes. Gotta see this one on the first day! :)
