	Author	Review
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Kudos to Abrams for going bigger without going stupid. His set pieces (...) are doozies. So's the movie. It's crazy good (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"It’s hard to emerge from 'Into Darkness' without a feeling of disappointment, even betrayal"	NEG
United Kingdom	Ian Freer Empire	"In some sense, the title is misleading. 'Into Darkness' is a blast, fun, funny, spectacular and exhilarating. The rule of great even-numbered Trek movies continues (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"'Into Darkness' may not boldly go where no 'Trek' adventure has gone before, but getting there is such a well-crafted, immensely pleasurable ride that it would be positively Vulcan to nitpick"	POS
United Kingdom	Andrew Pulver The Guardian	"This is certainly an astute, exhilarating concoction (...) rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Dave Calhoun Time Out	"A stop-gap tale that’s modest, fun and briefly amusing rather than one that breaks new ground or offers hugely memorable set pieces (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"After impressing well enough in his previous big screen directorial outings, Abrams works in a narrower, less imaginative mode here; there's little sense of style, no grace notes or flights of imagination"	NEU
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"A large portion of Star Trek’s audience may well be satisfied by a film that amounts to not much more than an incredibly pretty and sporadically funny in-joke (..) [The] pioneer spirit? It’s gone (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Kate Muir The Times	"This latest 'Star Trek' wavers entertainingly between the silly and the Shakespearean. After a shaky, old-school start, the comedy comes at warp speed (...) rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Spectacular special effects, superbly crafted action sequences, plenty of humor and terrific performances render it a cut above most summer blockbusters (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"The new film works. It's rousing (...) rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle	"Full of humor, some exciting scenes and some intelligent parallels between the world of the film and the political and moral issues facing us today"	POS
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"The only darkness here — besides the dingy-looking images dimmed by 3-D glasses — is the murky plot, which is as silly as it is arbitrary (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	"Noisy, frenetic, grandiose and essentially a soap opera (...) [it] has everything, including romance: Never before have Capt. James T. Kirk and his Vulcan antagonist, Mr. Spock, seemed so very much in love"	POS
