It Delivers a Great Ending Despite Tremendous Expectation

Rating: 9/10 (20 May 2013)

It is not the most powerful Star Trek story, but it is very very close to that. The 2008 Star Trek stepped up the game in that we are now expecting something great. This one delivered. It this version, although many obvious questions are raised by the plot (that many reviewers raise), and without the ending the movie would have been lost, but the ending is powerful. Additionally, although you might have seen some of this story told before, you will still be surprised and riveted emotionally, by a surprise twist to it, that helps make it better than the prior version.
Let's just say, when you get to the end of the movie keep your focus on Spock.
