It's OK

Rating: 5/10 (3 October 2013)

At the very start of the film there is the suggestion that Spock will die in a volcano.
Only it creates zero drama cuz we all know this is the young Spock and if he dies there is no later series!
Dumb script move.
The script seems to lean on effects and not on characters.
Characters is what made the original great.
The movie is decent, but like the first, you wont want to see it twice and isn't that the measure of a great movie?
So it falls way short
Long on style short on substance. That's fairly typical for Abrams.
