This is by far the best movie in the Trilogy. It sticks to star trek ethos and manages to be entertaining at the same time

The best thing about this movie is that it is actually a fully contained story. This feels like an episode from the TV show blown up to be a bigger deal. They don't make you need any backstory, or hope for some future movie's story. I think this is something a lot of franchises need to stick with. The main cast is still great together. I think this is one of the biggest upsides to the whole new Star Trek universe. They cast perfectly and write great dialogue for their interactions. The actors do a great job balancing the comedy of their personas along with serious moments. I don't have any acting gripes at all. The issues I do have with this though, is when the film pushes the comedy into ridiculousness. There are times when the laughter takes precedent over realism. Don't get me wrong, I know this is science fiction. I'm not judging the space tech here. But sometimes the comedy flies in the face of any logic at all. A big part of that for me is the music sequence in the climax. I didn't hate what was happening, but I certainly rolled my eyes. Overall though, really good watch. Not as good as the first reboot film, but certainly better than the last one. I can't even remember the last one, put it out of my mind.

Interesting how there seem to be more negative reviews here than in the ones before whereas I think this was the best one of the series. Or maybe I´m just getting used to it. Anyway, I´ve critizised the Abramsverse a lot but this one was a small step in the right direction. I would attribute this largely to the fact that Abrams isn´t involved directly in this movie. Yes, it is still more like blockbuster cinema but there is improvement. We finally get rid of that annoying lensflare and this is something new not just a twisted old story [spoiler] (althought the crash of the saucer on the planet.....nah, it´s allright.) [/spoiler]. Gone is the sometimes silly behavior and unnessessary stupid humor. There is one part of the movie I didn´t like and that was [spoiler] the part where to music kills the bees [/spoiler] that is the kind of > let us do something cool < factor I didn´t like in the first two movies but the rest was really solid. Still not comparable with the old, and it never will be, but for now enough to convince me to give the next one a try. As I mentioned before - even if those new trek franchise would do nothing for me it generated interest and, more important, revenue that led to another tv show. Here´s hoping that it will do well.

How the mighty franchise falls. I've been a Star Trek fan since catching my first partial episode of _Voyager_ with my dad, during the original run. I followed the broadcasts on UPN (remember them?) for the last couple years leading up to the series finale. Meanwhile, I got caught up on the rest of the shows, and several of the movies. I should have seen _Nemesis_ for the omen it was. Other reviewers have already covered the flaws in impeccable detail (see https://trakt.tv/comments/90923 by @abstractals and https://trakt.tv/comments/91751 by @andrewbloom for starters), and I don't feel the need to rehash the details, but… The defining adjective for this film is "muddy". The cinematography is muddy; the writing is muddy; the acting is muddy; the message is muddy. Makes me wonder just how much it rained when they were out shooting on location. Only a few minutes in, the film's tone goes off the rails and ceases to feel like Star Trek. It coasts along at breakneck speed through firefight after firefight, in space and on land, barely ever stopping to let boring details like character motivation get in a word. As a result, I honestly don't care about anyone. Not a single character. There was a moment on [spoiler]the _Franklin_[/spoiler] late in the film when I thought (for some reason) that [spoiler]Krall had killed Scotty[/spoiler]… I was wrong, but it would have been completely unsurprising. Maybe I'd been primed not to care by the [spoiler]dozens (at leasT) of crew members that were shown getting sucked into space as Krall's "bees" tore the _Enterprise_ apart[/spoiler]. Really, it's hard to find a scene in which nobody dies—or at least gets shot, with ambiguous outcome at best—for much of the film. The _Star Trek_ I know really makes you feel the weight of deaths, even if they're "just" redshirts. This…whatever it is…doesn't. It's all action movie porn. And they can't even stick to how "Treknology" is supposed to work—what starship captain in his right mind would [spoiler]give the order to go to warp after the deflector dish has been destroyed[/spoiler]? It would be suicide. I hope there are no more reboot films, because I'll feel obligated to see them at some point and by now I know I'll just be disappointed.
