I thought this was a load of ass. ASS. First off let me say that I'm in no way a Star Trek watcher or fan. The whole series basically just flew right past me. I was the kid who just watched Star Wars over and over and over again. With that said this may be a movie that I would have enjoyed better if I HAD been a Star Trek fan but Bob wasn't so I'm going to go ahead and say that this film failed. There were however two redeeming factors...

Two great action scenes
Benedict Cumberbatch

That's all. The script was so weak. I didn't give a sh*t about anything that was happening and they really didn't try to get me to care. The "war" that could have been implemented didn't scare me at one bit. The "crew" being fought over held no emotional connection as to what happened to them. Oh, and that last scene was total garbage.

I really liked the first one so I was disappointed that this failed miserably. Could have been great but just ended up being cookie cutter Star Trek masturbation.

2/5
Have you seen the actual Star Wars films (pre Lucas rape?). Just curious, that's irrelevant to your review.

Unlike you, I grew up on The Wrath of Khan so I'm giving Bob the benefit of doubt on this one. Not so much that I'll see it in a theater though.
