The Star Trek Franchise has made some improvements since the last film. They got the humour back. Now they just have to get the Science Fiction back and we might get a decent flick.

Without too many spoilers here is what I thought of the latest attempt at recreating the past:

– Most of the actors were successful in creating their character in such a way as to have the same characteristics as the original but still be uniquely “theirs” and as such interesting. Simon Pegg as Scotty was particularly good.
– The plot was boring. Nothing wrong with that. Plenty of original episodes are boring.
– I absolutely hate everything they’ve done with Uhura’s character.
– A little less action little more conversation please. Cut down on silly emotional chat, pointless explosions and attempts to imitate Star Wars. The movie would have been better off if it was an hour shorter.
– I am still going to see the next film in the series.
