Wow! What a clip!

I've only seen one other movie by Abrams. It was exactly like this movie seems to be. The first half was beautiful. The second half was a mess, and you realized then that the first half was built on utter rot, on an ill conceived plot. It was all a sham but the fast pace and the great images of that first part sort of camouflaged it. It was a 2009 a movie called Star Trek.

Hm. You know, I was actually really happy with Abrams' Star Trek. And in fact, I thought his Uhura was the best counter-example the woman in peril that I'd seen for years. So I guess it's not endemic.

I thought his Uhura was just there so we'd go "Whoah! Spock is totally banging a smokin hot Uhura! That's gonna drive Kirk crazy!"

NO, Uhura was there so we'd go "Whoah! Uhura is totally banging Spock! UHURA WINS."

Hahaha! I like your take a lot more than I like the movie I saw.
