John Cho

The training was great...it was sort of like simulating the Starfleet Academy. And it just felt like we'd gone through something together.

[Pegg:] Kirk is emotionally compromised from the start of this film. You know, he's driven by something other than sense. He's driven by vengeance. And Scotty really is absolutely right to stand up to him...

'This night is about the American dream,' Kumar promises. And you know what? It sort of is.

A latter-day Abbott and Costello flick, where the monster they encounter isn't Frankenstein, but the Bush Administration.

It's this Star Trek's greatest stroke of genius to conceive of Kirk and Spock as two rebels looking for a cause...

Conspicuously pointless...an underachieving comedy of awkwardness.

Predictability is the fatal flaw of any American sequel, and while this one comes closest in tone to the original film, that's a decidedly double-edged sword.

Smart or...dumb? Yes, and...fun to hang around with for a couple of hours.

McCarthy is a worthy successor to John Candy, who also had a gift for warming up caricatures with loveable humanity.

Tailor-made for the great Lily Tomlin...Yeah, the circumstances are contrived, but easy enough to accept as long as they’re forcing interesting dynamics into seriocomic confrontation.

What works (marginally) in this instantly forgettable entry: a few diverting character moments...fan-serving fairy dust...action, action, action.

Kogonada’s cleverly integrated use of the architecture, beautifully framed from visual and narrative standpoints, lends his freshman feature a sense of modernist mastery...

Twisty thrills also result in a climactic pileup, a resolution that strains credibility...with a dynamic leading performance by Cho, Chaganty manages an engaging popcorn suspense picture that also speaks to technology enabling and frustrating...
