Star Trek

Short and sweet:

It's funnier than I'd expected.

Not crazy about Quinto's line delivery as Spock, but I'll be used to it by the next followup.

The villian wasn't fleshed out all that well and is a small weak spot in the film.

The universe is too small for coincidences in the script at times.

The command deck is really bright.

Found out what the alternate designs of 'Cloverfield' looked like. Heh.

Enjoyed Rachel Nichols's brief cameo.

Overall, it was a lot of fun, good bit of action, didn't much drag too much for a 2+ hour film. The film captured the spirit and flavor of TOS character interactions, but with a bigger budget and offered some surprises in light of what long-time trekkers know of these characters. But sometimes the script is a little too simplistic in getting through the plot points to move the film along.

I give it 3.5 stars or a grade of B+.
