Oh come on, really? Like it or don't like it, that's fine. I loved it but totally appreciate those that didn't. But to criticise because it doesn't conform to what was established in the original series (TV and Film) is just gormless. The whole point of the time travel reboot from 4 years ago was that stories can be retold without being enslaved to the original. Hence Pike. Hence Praxis. Etc. It's a different timeline - different rules.
Some performances were a wee bit panto, most were great, some scenes were a wee bit OTT, some had wonderful pathos and mirroring of previous Trek.
But great fun, bombast and sweep. Humour, menace and great action. Don't know where the time went.
