Major disappointment is the score. Appalling.

Hmm look like this movie has a good review here, really that good? even for a non-trek fans like me? is the story continuous from last episode or what??

I probably watched more than you. They explain stuff in the series. Star Trek = science. Even tho its technobabble, its technobabble that made sense and some has real world implications.

If they made a advanced torpedo that can pass thru shields, they'll tell you, its transphasic torpedo and its in a state of flux, which is why it goes thru shield like it werent there. Simple, made sense.

Matter antimatter, which does exist outside ST, does indeed work like it is in ST, in that it annihilates each other and produces energy. And they use it as "fuel".

I'm sorry but I didnt watch Cloverfield. And this is not Cloverfield.

This is a franchise that has evolved since the 60s to what it is now. I do not agree of this dumbing down to make it as a summer blockbuster type movie so Paramount can make money. And why do I say this? Cause every dumb, dumb and dumbass will like "Oh it was awesome and cool, and the special effects were sooo badasss!" after they watch it under the influence of shrooms.

Meaning it was made to be flashy and simple so it'll sell sell sell.

I'm sorry I was just expecting more from a futuristic franchise to do some explaining and not make up some liquid in red that can pop up blackholes with just a freaking drop.

I do not mind the action. But there's just serious plot issues and vast list of inaccuracies, ie not following simple STverse guidelines or you know logic.

What's with the Genesis device in Wrath of Khan? How can a machine the size of a pillar create life? What kind of science is that?

For that matter, how can aliens simply be humans with bumpy foreheads?

Face it, scientific accuracy has never been Trek's strong point.

ya man ... some techno babble is fine with me ... but too much just bores me to de core ... i loved how jj spiced n sexed it up star trek for de next generation of fans ... his casting of all de characters was almost flawless ... especially zachary quinto as spock ... damn ... its just like patrick stewart was picked to be professor x ... let's see how this moves on in an alternate reality for de crew/cast of USS Enterprise 

kirk didnt actually pass it however and was put on suspension. but yes the chain of command seemed non-existant. pike decision to promote kirk from nothing to something. command was passed to so many people so many times...

Okay now it starts to make some sense... I will need to read this comic mini series.

ok been reading a few of the posts and i dont seem to like the sound of it. are they re writing history ???? are they rebooting it like hulk ... if so im so gonna be .. meh.

omg ... new future ... " how can they just do that lol

Space... the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before.

Just before the ending credits, who said that..? Picard or Nimoy ..?

wait! those wasnt shown on local TV

How did Kirk pass that simulation test designed by Spock?

Wow thanks for that. Why didn't they include that into the movie? Most people would be blur or think it's a plot hole.

I enjoyed the movie as an action movie that happens to be set in space (or the Trek universe) but I'm one of those people that don't think it's quite Trek (anymore).
