Zachary Quinto: 'There is an optimism that lives in the heart of this film and in the heart of the franchise that I think is a really great thing for us to be able to share with the world right now.'

[Pine:] Kirk is still on that journey...our new film explores that even more: of what it means to be a captain when your kind of innate brashness and confidence comes head to head with the stark responsibility of leading men and women in battle.
Just My Luck (2006)
Why does the new Lindsay Lohan picture have such a poo fixation?....Could it be that director Donald Petrie is Freudian slipping on his s**tty material?
Bottle Shock (2008)
As for the inevitable fudging of fact, it doesn’t bend the true story to its breaking point—on balance,
Bottle Shock
is an entertaining tour of wine country.
Star Trek (2009)
It's this
Star Trek
's greatest stroke of genius to conceive of Kirk and Spock as two rebels looking for a cause...
Unstoppable (2010)
With its one-track premise,
Unstoppable
derails thrills.
This Means War (2012)
Their spy-prying...and displays of lunkheaded brawn...aren't endearing; they're horrifying, in ways there's no coming back from.
Rise of the Guardians (2012)
Even if the cause and effect of the plot proves fairly impenetrable...one can't deny the film is frequently visually resplendent and imaginative...
Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
Smart or...dumb? Yes, and...fun to hang around with for a couple of hours.
Into the Woods (2014)
Mutlilayered...Though any film adaptation of a classic musical is bound to be a mixed bag, Sondheim fans have dodged another bullet here with this impressive transplant, one that retains the play's complicated moral character along with most of its music.
The Finest Hours (2016)
One can easily understand why this story swiftly became Coast Guard legend...but its dim wall-of-grey visuals and narrative longueurs make much of the two hours a challenge to the attention span for viewers of any age.
Star Trek Beyond (2016)
What works (marginally) in this instantly forgettable entry: a few diverting character moments...fan-serving fairy dust...action, action, action.
Hell or High Water (2016)
Old-school bank robbery meets the new economy—and the New West—in
Hell or High Water
, a lean tale of cops and robbers, cowboys and Indians, and customers and bankers.
Wonder Woman (2017)
A sturdy origin story, this education of Miss Diana Prince, establishing her as a compassionate badass who consistently proves her bravery, strength, and commitment to justice.
