I could definately get behind seeing this cast in action in Star Trek movies. In particular, Spock and McCoy were really well done. (Simon Pegg really needed to settle on one particular Scottish accent, but that's a very minor quibble.)But I didn't rate the rest of the film at all. It kept moving at a relentless pace, which almost but not quite masks the silliness of the plot, the poor characterisation, the plot and logic holes, and so forth. It beggars belief that they'd all just happen to be assigned to the Enterprise as their first mission all together (could have fixed that really easy, too - Bones and Scotty are both older than the rest, so make them 'old hands'). And the way Kirk took command just didn't work - you can't do that in front of everyone and expect them to follow you.Plus, time travel, prequels and origin stories all suck.Hopefully, "Star Trek 2" will be the film this should have been - they're a new but integrated crew away on the start of their five year mission, when something happens that demands attention.</blockquote>
