And the message does resonate today with what is going on with drone strikes. Which is all I am going to say about that because of the no political talk rule. They also reigned in Simon Pegg performance of Scotty which made him much more believable. Though I still don't know why he needs his Star Wars side kick. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" />I am a huge Benedict Cumberbatch fan and he was terrific as a bad guy but he was not Khan he lacked the fire and passion of Khan. Plus the sheer stupidity of Starfleet officers they clearly show the one character giving his daughter the cure then he goes into his office and instead of warning anyone he blows up the building. Bad writing.  If he was under any other threat they should have showed it. Also the entire lets park the ship underwater, why they have shuttles they could have easily accomplished the mission from space and still have had Kirk tale the ship in to rescue Spock. Yes I know it was to cause conflict between Spock and Kirk and for Kirk to lose command of the ship but it was heavy handed. One of my biggest complaints is just how heavy handed so much of the writing is in both movies.</blockquote>
