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.

Agreed. That's my main complaint as well. Although the characters were well written, the actual story was a little dull and unimaginative. They had the whole Star Trek universe, and a completely new timeline to play with, but they chose to play safe and essentially remake a previous movie (albeit one of the better ones). If they really had to resurrect Khan, they could at least have done something different with the character, like make him a good guy in this timeline (at least initially).

The frustrating thing is that they took some risks in the first film. For example, destroying the Vulcan home world was a pretty bold move which I didn't see coming. They also risked upsetting the Star Trek purists by creating a romance between Spock and Uhura. It probably sounded like a crazy idea on paper, but IMHO it actually works really well.

The film was still good. But it could have been so much more.

It was "Space Seed" redone.

I enjoyed this movie. Sure they could have done some things differently but I was entertained.
