OK, here’s my non-spoilerish review…

Full of action – maybe too much action.
Not enough substance.
Normally that would be OK if you were going to a movie just for the action. But historically, Star Trek is very much all about character development and substance.
This movie just seemed… off… especially the last 3/4’s of it. It felt like what little character and plot development they tried to slip in here and there was shoehorned.
ON a scale of 1 to 10, I’d probably give it a 6, mostly on the virtue of the cool effects, cinematography (which was so overloading sometimes that you could possibly get motion sick if you sit too close to the screen), and the fact that it’s Star Trek.
But this movie has caused me as a Star Trek fan to lose a lot of faith in the current incarnation. The first two movies were a helluva lot better than this one on this timeline.
Disappointing.
