Fun but too much Flash

Rating: 7/10 (27 May 2013)

just saw it. Lotsa fun. It's all action. Kinda like John Woo meets Gene Roddenberry.
Plenty of imaginative little tie-ins to the original series.
I have to say though. After now seeing these 1st two new star treks. I don't like what JJ Abrams has done with it. He has the flash and fights etc etc. But there was much more contemplative type sci-fi and real science that appealed and appeals so much to people that are considered nerds by the overall world. It was like we finally had a cool world all our own.
I feel absolutely none of that in these new films. These are 100% bing/bang/boom with no feeling at all that this was our special nerd nirvana. He does do the tie ins to the old series but that's all it really is: a factual tie in.
So, Fun but, for me, way way way too much Flash.
