i saw the 3D imax version. overall the movie was great. so much action that it felt like a rollercoaster ride. I was yelling out loud and ducking from flying objects! i had but one qualm. It got very slow with dialogue about a half hour in. I may have fallen asleep for a min or two. I suppose that was a direct result of them taking the shortest book and trying to make three, 3hr movies out of it.
It was a good movie in and of itself wtf! I loved the old series and now because of this whole time travel storyline, it no longer exists!! Not only that but any newer vulcan characters no longer exist. some say its an alternate timeline? this is just upsetting, like a death in the family. and for them to have so heavily borrowed star wars storylines? of course they did all this so they can cash in on the old characters that ppl know and love. I saw it in 2d imax. sound was great. i hate the new enterprise bridge and the stupid engine that was filmed in a brewery, thats all i have to say. im in mourning.
