"Star Trek Into Darkness"
Sci-Fi Adventure, PG-13, 132 minutes
Director J.J. Abrams is a true talent, and he's also a pop-culture savant who has great respect for the legacy of this franchise as well as a keen understanding of the mega-importance of box-office figures. There's no better choice to make the best, the purest AND the most accessible big-budget "Star Trek" movie possible. Yet with all the futuristic splendor and fine performances, "Into Darkness" only occasionally soars, mostly settling for being a solid but unspectacular effort that sets the stage for the next chapter(s). With Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Benedict Cumberbatch.

"The Great Gatsby"
Drama, PG-13, 142 minutes
Big and bold and brassy, Baz Luhrmann's "Gatsby" fills every second of its 142-minute running time with images designed to take your breath away, but it is first and foremost F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Gatsby." Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Gatsby, in perhaps the most overtly vulnerable version of the character, and Carey Mulligan gives a delicate, intricately crafted performance as Daisy Buchanan. Luhrmann's dazzling sense of visual style is perfectly suited to the first half of the movie, but when the story becomes more about confrontations, you can almost sense Luhrmann fidgeting as he tries to figure out how to keep the plates spinning.
Rating: 3 1/2 stars

"Iron Man 3"
Superhero action, PG-13, 130 minutes
Robert Downey Jr. is just plain great in this film. Filled with breathtakingly brilliant special effects, bolstered by excellent supporting performances from a half-dozen other top-tier actors, crackling with sharp humor and working as a story that stands alone while often acknowledging the larger Marvel(ous) universe, "Iron Man 3" is one of the best entries in this modern golden age of superhero movies. Working from a smart if sometimes meandering script, director Shane Black takes us on a 3-D thrill ride in which a lot of stuff is blown up, and the skies are filled with superheroes, supervillains and humans falling to their seemingly certain deaths. It's a great start to the summer movie season.
Rating: 3 1/2 stars
