wait to rent on DVD

Rating: 5/10 (9 May 2009)

I thought the cast was overall fairly good. Pine made a good Kirk, while Quinto as Spock was excellent. Urban as Bones seemed stiff and overacted. Pegg as Scotty was a nice comic touch.
Unfortunately the plot had many holes and was weak. While the story took time to build character around Kirk & Spock, it seemed extremely rushed around the lead bad guy, almost as if it was a hack job in editing. I felt little suspense or sense of climax from interactions with the villain.
I look forward to future movies with this cast, although with better script writing & editing.
My advice is to wait and rent on DVD.
