Talking Points:

I’m not a Trekkie, but I am a Chris Pine fan. I liked the great one-liners woven throughout the film.

Amongst all the violence there were some touching elements. Themes of loyalty to family and friends were portrayed.

Sexual Content: Mild

• We see Kirk in bed with two female aliens.
• We saw a character in just her bra and panties, so did Kirk.

Violent Content: Excessive

• The evil villain Khan, blows up a building.
• We saw Khan crush a man’s skull with his hands.
• There are numerous explosions, fights and punches throughout the film;  leaving character’s bloody and bruised.

Crude or Profane Language: Mild

• We heard the s-word, also  “a–,” “—ch,” “b–tard,” “d–n,” and “h–.”

Drugs and Alcohol Content: Mid

• We saw character’s drinking at a bar.

Will Kids Like It? Yes

Overall this is an action packed, adventurous film. Trekkie’s will most likely enjoy seeing their favorite characters. I recommend this for kids ages 12 and up. Parents need to be aware of the violent content throughout the film.
