It had the funny in all the right places, it had the hard-fought, hard-won battles and victories, it had the BS that makes it science fiction... but not the "I'm a lucky dumb shmuck vibe" of the last two. This felt like they earned it. The way they play out the key battle is sorta silly, but you will probably like the substance too much to care. It had the camaraderie, the right amount of action vs drama, and someone drinking too much exotic liquor.

There wasn't really a point in the movie where I was bored, and I felt like they did a good job on the visuals and actually making the bother of the latex to make it feel like space. It DID however feel a little bit disorienting with the up down sideways of it all, but I didn't mind. If you have vertigo, you might wanna wait. I did mind that I couldn't understand a third of the dialogue again, but I will look forward to Netflixing it and turning on the closed captioning.

You gotta give props to JJ for getting it started, but Justin Lin kicks ass at it. He really understood the material and what makes Star Trek fun.
In short, we all liked it, with no dissention. I liked the nods to the past and to those lost crew. The ending was pretty saccharine, but with so many movies being screwed around there, it was just fine.

It's A grade stuff, all right... We had a good time.

Bunch of action was OK. Don't think too hard about the plot.

Meh, everything I post goes in general discussions. It's not like we all spend a lot of time trolling through subsections these days... Well, I don't.

And it's Star Trek, I don't think you should EVER think too much about the plot, 'cause hey, it's all we got. Same goes with Star Wars prolly too... It's not like they were ever true to science.

The script writers for the original series must be rolling in their graves, or at least cringing. I cannot imagine fans of Spock or Vulcans will be highly enthused for more than one viewing.

Besides, what does these generations care for logic anyway...
