8/10 fantastic film!
Chris Pine gave an outstanding performance, and is the best thing about the movie. There is so much depth in his performance, and he still manages to bring in parts of Shatner's Kirk as well. 10/10 from him. I cannot believe how good he was. All this talk about Cumberbatch.. yeah he was very good (he didn't have much to do, to be fair) but Pine was better.
Loads of great bits from Spock, Bones and Scotty. Despite the fact that JJ has said this is a standalone film, there are tons of bits from the previous Trek movie (and others), especially the negative connotations of Spock Prime's interference in the previous flick.
The effects are top-notch, JJ has improved directorially, there are less lense flairs, its easier to see what is happening, and the engineeering section is a massive improvement over the previous movie.
The story isn't great, and the movie suffers in the mid section because of it, but the ending was great none-the-less. It felt like a Star Trek movie (the last one didn't really)
There were a couple of bits that didn't work.
Spoiler
Spock shouting KHAAANNN was so lame, it must, must be cut from the dvd/blu release. It really did not work. And the bit with the security guard on the Vengence was a bit stupid.
Edit ~ I also thought Bruce Greenwood was fantastic again as Pike, and the relationship between Pike and Kirk was great. It was also really cool to see the model of the NX-01 on the desk in starfleet HQ, next to a few ships, that previously had only appeared as artwork on the USS Enterprise in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
Edit again ~
Nice one posting the soundtrack. It's better than the music in the last movie (i really like London Calling, Kronos Wartet, Brigadoom), but still not as good as the original movie soundtracks imo... it had a couple of great bits, and i bet its very tough to score a movie that moves as fast as this one does.
