Good but not great

Rating: 6/10 (26 May 2013)

Acting was excellent, actors chosen for the parts were spot-on. The sets & locations & costumes seemed real. Humor and drama both worked well. But I kept tripping over the logic (as in, lack thereof) and, although some of the homages made me smile, at least one very serious scene (near the end, if you'll seen it you'll know which) was such a close copy from an earlier film that it seemed to me to cheapen what was an incredibly moving scene in that earlier film.
That said, I was carried along with the action even though I fell out of it from time to time to say, "oh, come on, really?" I know, I know, it's star trek, and this is a good star trek, but they were plot points that didn't need to be--pardon the word--illogical and would've been fairly easy to fix, IMHO.
