[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9240502, member: 7023840"] I think that things are always a matter of taste, but I really liked Kelvin 3. Much more than Kelvin 2. I would start by saying that the best thing about the Kelvin movies is the cast. IMO, they really nailed the characters. The casting was perfect, and I thought all of the actors really embodied their characters. Okay, maybe Simon Pegg wasn't the absolute perfect Scotty, but I will forgive Simon everything, and if that's the only quibble about casting I have (and it's a minor quibble), it shows just how strong the casting was. RIP Anton Yelchin. That said, Kelvin 2 suffered from the biggest problem that Abrams has when handling franchises; it borrows [I]too heavily from the past[/I]. This was acceptable in Kelvin 1, but by Kelvin 2, it (IMO, again) torpedoed the movie. I can imagine the pitch, "It will be just like Khan, but WORSE! And lens flares, of course." Kelvin 3 was, in many ways, silly. But it was also very much Star Trek. Yes, it was Star Trek as a movie (action sequences, etc.) but it felt like an overblown, overstuffed, kind of silly episode of Star Trek. I enjoyed it for what it was - and much more than Kelvin 2.
