Well Done

Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2013)

OK people this is not the ORIGINAL TIMELINE so expect different things. I have seen all the movies, and episodes from every franchise of Star Trek. Yes this is a reboot of the Wrath of Khan, but its a different timeline do remember that. So let me answer some of the many complaints I have read on here.
Yes Khan was played by a Hispanic in the original, and a British guy in this one, but he did a decent job. Why was the enterprise parked on the ocean floor instead of in orbit, don't know but why care. Why wasn't the bomb transported in the volcano, well if they could do that, then Spock would have been transported out, and what would they transport it onto without seeing, it would go into the lava.
The film explained why Khan was found much earlier but I guess many missed it. He was found by Starfleet due to the back in time threat from the first movie, as Starfleet started looking for threats by going out further into space and found him.
They reversed the roles of Spock and Kirk, and used some of the same dialogue, I didn't have a problem with it like some people do. I saw a lot of complaining with Kirk being demoted, like he never went through that for being reckless.
Khan put his comrades in the missile's to keep the admiral from using them, as it was his only leverage against Khan. Everyone talks about the cryotube, and how Bones took a person out to put Kirk in. If they had cryotube's in Khan's time why wouldn't they have them in this time, and aboard the ship. Everyone assumes he took one of Khans comrade's tube, even though Bones already stated he couldn't do it without killing one. Doesn't anyone ever think when writing these reviews, other than just trying to tear the movie apart. For those who missed it Khan was put back into the cryotube.
The reason Spock has so many emotional problems was due to his home planet being blown away and his mother being killed. He had his mother for most of his life in the original timeline, once again think past that. Bones could have had better lines, than just the rhetorical remarks.
This is not the ORIGINAL TIMELINE die hard fans, when will you realize that. This is Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Uhura, Bones, Sulu, and Checkov when they were young, not the middle age crew you got in the original series. The timeline is altered due to the previous movie, so Kirk doesn't have his father, Spock doesn't have his mom, so things aren't the same, let it go.
If you didn't like this movie, you either don't like the reboot cause your a die hard Star Trek fan or your just knit picking and can't think, plain and simple. I am by no means a JJ fan as he screwed up Transformers, but this movie was good.
I liked it and will see it again.
