Just got back from the 7:00pm showing. Glad I did. Not many people showed up early, so while the theater was still sold out, much easier on parking and getting in theater. For movie goers who are going soon, unless you WANT to watch the credits, there is no reason to stay. There aren't any easter eggs for those who stay and watch through. That said, spoilers are below.











































First thought: When they say its a reboot of Star Trek, they really mean it. The characters, and their personalities remain, but it really is an entirely different universe. There is definitely a good likeness between the new actors and the old, with the exception of McCoy, he's kind of out there. But i'm not arguing about that, the only way to get the real McCoy is to go with the original actor, who obviously can't play a young man anymore.

I'm definitely not sold on the new bridge. it seems cluttered, but not in a military way. Just poorly designed. More flash than substance.

O'hura and Spock, well I can say I didn't see that one coming.

The classic McCoy line is out of place in this movie. They put it in there, but it doesn't work. He's not Bones.

The space battles were weak, I've seen better in early TNG episodes. For a purported action movie, the pacing in the space battles is definitely off. Its too fast, too hectic for anyone to get any suspense story wise, or even for eye candy alone.

I'll give it time, but I don't think that this new Star Trek cast will be going for many movies. The sequel may have been green lit, but unless it drastically improves upon what has been laid in this movie, it will fail in the long term. I felt no emotional attachment, or really emotions of any kind with this movie. It'll be a hard draw for die hard trek fans I think.
