Didn't hate it outright, didn't love it. Not the worst Star Trek movie. Not the worst or best action movie on its own. Enemy plot holes are still working their way though my mind.
I just wish Kirk and Spock had good-enemy chemistry right off the bat. They made them advisory with out any kind of feeling or actual confrontation. I think it should of had Kirk taking the "no-win" more seriously then he did (just for show) while he cheated. Then having Spock have to work had to find out how. You know get them all involved in each others shit and then have them get all chummy. have them really not get along. Instead of this "guy who designed the test i cheated and have sort of disagreed with (but not really) in the last 15 minutes of the movie" is my best friend in the alternate future have a little more umph. I'm not saying outright slash them, but you know story clinches: best friends are best to turn into enemies and enemies are best when turned into friend. Spock and kirk seemed like they went from cool to luke warm.
Alright enough now.

Later love.
