[...] original Star Trek as dull as Jean-Luke Pickard’s unpolished forehead – but for, as Laurence puts it, its extreme pace. I don’t care that the plot’s crazy. And the plot is crazy. Image that you, [...]

This film proves the existence of a higher power in the Star Trek universe, since the odds of Kirk, while being marooned on the ice planet, manages to stumble precisely into the cave where the elder Spock is camping out, and then they managed to find Scott, who’s been there for several months, ostensibly, is just so astronomical that you cannot explain it in any other way.

Other than shoddy writing, of course.

Well, it could have been a better movie if they had only paid a little more attention to the science aspects…

They really tried to kill the suspension of disbelief for me….

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I loved the movie. I had certain specific complaints, but overall I found it ridiculously entertaining. That’s the point I was trying to make (apparently not very well).

Different strokes I guess. I thought it was great & really did enjoy the ’set phasers to stun’ moments. I personally really enjoyed Urban’s McCoy, thought he nailed it. Surely. if you’re gonna make a Star Trek based on the original characters, they need to have their original quirks?

The story was pretty by-the-numbers, and had plotholes you could fly the Enterprise through, and while I haven’t looked around too much, there is no doubt the army of trekkies who hated every second of it. I didn’t. meh.
