More character, less action

Compared to previous movies, this one has less action, and a lot more character develpoment. All characters seem believable, and the actors really get a chance to shine here. More suspense and drama than special effects, although (of course) there are those, too - like the attack on the Millenium Bridge in London.
If you are looking for a summer action block-buster, this might not satisfy you. In its more than 2 1/2 hours,there are only a few fast-paced scenes. But if you like a good movie, and especially if you are a Harry Potter fan, you will thoroughly enjoy this flick.
It definitely sets up for the final show-down of book 7 (or movies 7 and 8) - so much so that I stayed in my seat wanting to see RIGHT NOW how it continues!

The best movie I've seen this year.
While it takes place at the beginning of James T Kirk's career (and life), it is not simply a "and so it began" tale - there's a twist to it, unlike the boring 'Enterprise' TV series.
All the actors are great. The story holds up on its own even if you don't know anything about Starfleet Academy, but has plenty of great 'morsels' for Star Trek fans. The action is intense and unrelenting, but the script, direction, and acting is so excellent that the story and character development is not overshadowed by it, and the special effects are superb - there are only a few times where you go "WOW, great effect", most of the times they just serve the action and story very well.
Go see it! I will - again
