So I finally saw Star Trek, and it was a lot of fun. I was worried about JJ Abrams, and while this wasn't Roddenberry's Star Trek by any stretch, it was a great combination of action and character.
A few minor structural nit-picks (we didn't need some of the distracting interjected scenes) and one major one -- the villain was weak. I know Kahn was once-in-a-franchise awesome, but they could have hooked in someone better?
I know Matt hated him the lens flares but I didn't even notice. The intro hit hard enough to buy me in immediately.
Special props to the new Bones. He nailed it. New Scotty was tons of fun too.
Hopefully the inevitable sequel will break the curse of no good back-to-back Star Trek movies!
