Teremia, I don't know. My kids are older, so I don't have those filters in place at the moment; and I haven't seen it. And you know how it is: you never know what's going to be Too Scary for a particular child.
Are you familiar with the KidsInMind (? I don't have the bookmark on this computer) website? It gives pretty thorough descriptions of violence/sexuality/drug-related/strong language elements for hundreds of movies, in an unspoilerish way, and I used to find it very helpful. There are PG-13s and PG-13s, after all.

I don't know if they would have a listing for this one yet, though.
vison, I used to watch the old Star Trek with my mom every week. My best friend was also a fan and we used to write serial illustrated fanfic back and forth (though we had no idea that was what it was; fanfic hadn't been invented yet, I think). Yes, there was a lot of silliness in that show, but at its best it was very fine, sometimes as science fiction and sometimes just as a fun adventure with characters I loved. It became a part of the "language" I share with my brother, too. Just the other day I was helping him with a science-fictional thing (he's a writer, too, but hasn't written long-form SF before) and I said of a particular bit of dialog that it was a little too "'Kiss'? What is 'kiss'?" And he laughed, because he knew exactly the kind of cheesy sci-fi-ish quality I meant.
I guess what has me jazzed to see this is not that this is a Star Trek movie; as much as I love Trek in general, most of the movies have been meh or worse as movies, saved for me only because they were Star Trek. (
First Contact is a decent science fiction movie in its own right.) No, what excites me is the number of people who've said that the movie takes them right back to why they fell in love with Star Trek in the first place: the sense of wonder and excitement and unbounded possibility. That's the pure stuff, the reason I love SF enough to write it. I hope it's true.
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
