Well sheet. The first reboot was great. Went from that to this Fast and the Furious jackhole directing?

Needs more NOS.

Interesting. Seems like to me they were trying really hard to not give too much away in the trailer.

It's the music. Aside from the Beastie Boys playing over the entire trailer, it looks just like any other JJ-Trek.

Man...
It looks horrible, but I still want to see it because its Star Trek.
Hope the movie is better than the trailer...

Touching moments remembering Nimoy and Yelchin and a few references to ST:Enterprise + TOS were strong but not enough to save this movie from becoming just another action sci-fi film on steroids. 5/10

5/10 that's a real shame. I actually really liked the Khan sequel AND the fast and furious later movies. Justin Lin's recent work so audacious ballsy action in the Fast Furious movies. Was really hoping for a continued high level all around but hope waned after the preview.

The best moments were the inside references and relationships between the characters. But the plot was weak, movie was very slow getting to the set-up, the villain was lame and the editing was confusing at times. But if you're a Trekker who sees every Trek film, it's worth it for the inside references and tributes. If not, see something else.

Wow, those are pretty high scores! They're a lot better than I thought they'd be, especially after that first trailer. I'll probably head to the theaters to see it in a month or so once the crowds have died down.

I felt like they phoned this one in, compared to the last two. It felt lacking only in the sense that you felt very little emotion throughout the movie.

There were a few moments that they could have capitalized on but ended up missing the mark.

Dazzling to watch, but lacked emotion.

I feel like a lot of the lines missed the mark. It wasn't as clever as the other movies but was still enjoyable. I give it a 6 or a 7, but it was not as good as the previous.

I fell asleep 20 minutes in and had to wiki the the rest. I enjoyed the 20 minutes i was awake.
