Meh

Rating: 5/10 (6 July 2014)

Far too much running about and fistfights with a superman, far too little darkness - boring. Plot "turns" telegraphed from light years away - no surprises at all.
After ten minutes of Enterprise being pummeled from all sides, hull punched through or burned away, people falling through shafts after artificial gravity fails, the works, the hero realigns the core by kicking it and all is peachy - not a messed hairdo anywhere to be seen, let alone a casualty...
Attempts to elaborate on "logic vs. emotion" on several fronts looked promising (and even kind of worked between Spock and Uhura), but fell far short of the potential. Likewise the moral ambivalence of both main villains.
Visuals were cool, though.
