Saw Star Trek, so everyone seems to like/dislike it but I'm in the middle, thought it was alright. I felt like the script/dialogue timing/directing was the worst of the three reboots, like instead of feeling sharp and witty it was kind of off for some reason. Also felt like Justin Lin didn't bring anything to the movie at all. His F&F stuff has a lot of good ridiculous & crazy, I felt that didn't show here for the most part which is a bummer as I was hoping he'd bring stuff like Vin Diesel and his gf jumping off moving cars across bridges catching each other in mid-air, I mean it's star trek and super sci-fi, should've let him go crazy with the ridiculous action, but it's very by the books. I think a lot of the scenes were crazy in principle like flipping the dish of the enterprise and fighting through it while it's doing so, but the action is so badly directed during stuff like that it's not really satisfying and just a bunch of chaotic mess.
Anyhow those were my negatives, on the plus side, it grew on me, the enterprise attacked scene is neat, the amazoness fighter girl was good, and mostly the last 25% was a nice payoff to the rest of the movie. Like I thought the first three quarters was a 2.5/4 but the last quarter was a very solid 3-3.5/4. The beastie boys part was AWESOME fun and I had a huge grin on my face the whole time, the flying the enterprise through the base to outrace the baddies was great, and the final boss guy stuff was pretty alright and the actor was a plus.
Hard to tell where to rank it with the new Star Treks. The first one was fun and harmless and silly but nothing special, the second one was darker and really good at times but then kind of bad overall, and this is more like the first one, but not as charming but beastie boys?
