Star Trek Into Darkness

Grasshopper:
I finally got round to seeing this last weekend. I enjoyed it a lot but also found it slightly disappointing. That might sound contradictory but it's really a reflection of how high my expectations had become after seeing the first reboot, which I thought was awesome.

I'd say this is my second favourite of the  Star Trek films, with the first reboot being my favourite.

Vigo:
Completely loved the movie. Actually loved it more than the previous JJ Abrams one. If I am to get super picky about the film, I only have a couple complaints. Again, just a nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking.

Spoiler: The first issue I had was that Klingons felt forced into the film out of obligation. There wasn't room for aliens in the script, and so it seems like they had to write the Klingons in, and they were almost there for you to see how klingons would look in this universe.

Wrath of Kahn is my fav trek film, this was a super tribute to it. We you compare the two, this one was totally missing the great starship to starship fighting that was in Wrath of Kahn. It always reminded me of submarine warfare, and Wrath of Kahn did it very well. This movie, the enterprise was disabled before any real clever fighting could occur. Oh well, maybe next film will have it.

That's my primary issue with this movie,
It was just the wrath of Kahn redone.  Do something different, something original, something that star trek is SUPPOSED to be about.  Exporation, seeking out new civilizations, SPACE.  Stop constantly returning to earth.  It was an action movie wearing a star trek shirt.

I hear ya there.  Although I still really enjoyed Star Trek 4 much more than say Star Trek the Motion Picture, which probably fit the bill of alien exploration and the vibe from the TV show the most. The motion picture was a film that was more good in an E.T. way; I more just respect it for what it is than really get into it as an entertaining film.

So I guess any day of the week I will take a very well done Star Trek on Earth above a mediocre Star Trek in deep space, but if you are gonna reboot the series from the era the the TV show took place, I'd think you would want to actually explore new worlds, meet weird aliens, find deadly and mysterious alien technology, etc... The Kahn thing felt way too early in the series to actually happen. For Admiral Robocop to find Kahn in deep space, deal with him long enough to work on creating technology and then throw Kahn's crew in torpedos all before the time in the original timeline where Kirk found Kahn seemed a bit odd of a timeline change. OK, I know I am getting a bit too trekkie here...  :lol
