It was entertaining and the cast was good, but the story is tired tired tired. I kind of wish they had simply used this cast for a new TV show instead of a film franchise because the films have been of substantially less quality in terms of story than the TV shows. I'm hoping they go out on a limb with the next one and actually make it a sci-fi story of some sort that explores sophisticated ideas and has some morally challenging content. Not every Star Trek film has to be a Wrath of Khan remake-that is a Shakespearean actor playing a villain who wants to kill Kirk (or Spock, or the Enterprise) out of vengeance for a perceived wrong.

Saw it 3 times. Once at a SAG screening on the 20th Century Fox lot with a James Cameron Q and A. While I'm very impressed with the technological achievement of this film, the writing is just kind of lame. The "message" is boneheaded and crowbarred in unnecessarily. Cameron has made good movies before (Aliens, the 2 Terminators), but I wonder if he's jut become rusty in the writing dept.
