This was definitely not the worst Star Trek movie to date. That being said: JJ Abrams went out of his way to make something Paramount could make money from and he nailed it. Because of such a similar story arc, the film comes off as though it were lifted from Rodenberry's notes on Star Trek 2 and then thrown out because "it was too hard to follow". The acting is awkward and the characters seem vapid by comparison to the previous film; the villain ,however , played by Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock), brings his A game and literally blows away the entire cast in raw talent. Amidst the obviously overused 3d(one can tell by where the CGI is aimed at your face every 5 minutes), the obnoxious return of the lens flare, and the intentional use of Shakey Cam, the movie is gorgeous, the designs crisp and new(ish). The film is entertaining to say the least but I have no heart-wrenching need to see it again and again.
Pros well paced, great actors
Cons weak story, awkward lines
Yes, I recommend this movie.
