I will try and avoid spoilers, but if you want to see this movie and want to be completely suprised, stop reading NOW.
I saw this the other day, and to my surprise, really enjoyed it.
I disliked the first movie - the characters were parodies of the original crew, the humour was off, the villain's motivation was stupid, it was a very cliched Trek movie plot....
But this was much, much better. The characters were well written and played, the interplay between them was straight out of the original series, the plot was not a staright forword movie cliche (although there is a big Trek trope). There was a good balance between character/emotion and effects/action.
I really expected the new movie to trample it's size 10 3D boots all over my favourite Star Trek movie The Wrath of Khan. But it didn't. It did things very differently. Even the scenes it borrowed from the original were done differently.
There a still a few things I dislike about the reboot - the Enterprise engine room and especially the shafts and bridges seen in this film. The ship entering the atmosphere. The tendancy to use black ships for the bad guys. There were several things that I though were Trekishly bad in this film too, but they were minor niggles.
Anyone else seen it? What did you think?
I saw it in 2D. Was it worth seeing in 3D?
