The movie was fun! It will not win either Oscars or Raspberries, but it was OK.
Hee! That was totally my reaction. In fact, that's been my reaction for more than a few ST movies. *grin* There was good and bad (and the acting all around didn't really impress me) but I mostly had a good time. Bad, BAD moment with Vulcan. That really messed with my head. But I told myself "Totally alternate timeline" and was okay. :)
I find I liked that they didn't try to make it jive with original canon; it leaves that timeline pristine and opens another one---this is a whole new timeline and new canon: fans can decide whether they want to take it or leave it.
I think I need to go see it again. It's going to take a few viewings to really absorb all the little details and in-jokes.
'I find I liked that they didn't try to make it jive with original canon;' I appreciated that too. I was pleasantly surprised when there was no going-back-in-time-to-stop-the-enemy-from-getting-a-time-machine bit.
'I think I need to go see it again. It's going to take a few viewings to really absorb all the little details and in-jokes.' Definitely!
