i'm a big trek fan but was ready to give this movie a chance from both a fan of the series point of view and standing on its own. i thought it was absolutely terrible from both of these perspectives.
of course, if you're easily impressed by a bunch of flashy action sequences then it might have been fun at the cinema. i just hate all these pretentious hollywood films trying to be slick and epic when they have gaping plot holes and are terribly structured/paced. either do an action movie properly or you may as well be watching some straight to dvd steven seagal.

I can see why Next-Gen fans may not have been the hugest fan of this film, but I don't see why fans of the original series would hate it. It's not the epic film it could have been but whatever. I didn't see any bad plot holes. I didn't like how alternate reality Spock understood the "that's cheating" remark and I thought the big hands thing was silly, but the old show was a bit campy in parts and the film tried to re-create that.

People are enjoying this movie a lot, and it's not just the "flashy action sequences" type of people. Why is the movie getting good word of mouth? And why is Terminator Salvation not getting any? I would easily say it is directed better (action wise) It's because people are enjoying the story, they're enjoying the characters, etc etc.
