After the crew of the Enterprise find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction.[Metacritic]
I enjoyed the beginning with the colourful alien planet and the airlock filled with water both were bold great ideas but nothing really matched that afterwards. It's too long and bombastic, not everything needs to blow up all the time. They try to give everyone screen time which results in Kirk and Spock not being fleshed out enough and Dr. McCoy being reduced to a clown, why is he spending so much time on the bridge?[Spoiler]Using the Khan story from the original series/movie I didn't like and hopefully they're not going to do that for every movie. Come up with fresh ideas, doing pale imitations of what came before doesn't entertain me.
