Critic Reviews:
- " It's easily one of the best in the series – the best, in fact,
since Leonard Nimoy and the old Enterprise crew saved the whales in “Star Trek
IV.” " – Jay Carr
- " In zooming out from Picard's glinty eyeball, this eighth feature film
from the Trek factory displays a zippy new energy and a sleek, confident style
fully independent of its predecessors. " – Lisa
Schwarzbaum
- " A smashingly exciting sci-fi adventure that ranks among the very best
in the long-running Paramount franchise. " –
