daddytoddWell, as Big Dumb Summer Blockbusters go, the new Star Trek movie is pretty good.
As a Star Trek movie, I liked it better than all the Next Gen movies, and better than any TOS movie since The Voyage Home.
In absolute terms, I'd rate it about a 7 on a scale of 1-10. There was lots of fun stuff, the pacing was relentless (to the detriment of coherence, but I'm an old fart, so no surprises there) and the casting was pretty damn good. It looked great, except somebody needs to teach the cinematographer how to filter out the lens flare.
The plot was all over the map and didn't make a lot of sense, but we're not supposed to care about that any more.
I'll see it again in the theater a couple of times -- hopefully in IMAX, if it's still there when I have time to go again.
