By and large what did you guys think of the movie?
I think if I watched the shows religiously I would have taken the alternate time continuum reboot as a cheap slap in the face to all of the previous movies and shows, which basically nullifies their existence. Maybe even more so I would be offended by the "iPod-ish" / toy looking nature of the USS Enterprise. All in all though, as a movie by itself it was pretty good as an action flick, but not so much on the sci-fi side of things, and definitely the intelligence level was taken down a very liberal notch. From what I'm reading though, the movie has had generally positive reviews. Does it stack up to Wrath of Khan though (generally regarded as the best Star Trek movie by many)? Ehhh... I don't know about that.
Thoughts?
