Caught the new STAR TREK. Like the earlier movie in this rebooted franchise, its good summertime spectacle entertainment. Not as much chunky and convoluted storytelling getting in the way of the narrative as that one had. Several spectacular sequences from the opening on that alien planet to the debris field, good stuff.

And yet afterwards my enthusiasm for this faded away. Mind you its still worth seeing and I recommend it, but I just think it lacked that extra 'umph' to be truely a remarkable movie of this kind instead of just simply good. (Abrams has the talent to be a great popcorn entertainer this side of Spielberg and Nolan, but something keeps him back and I don't know what it is.)

Of course this movie rehashing the climax of WRATH OF KAHN, derivative with lesser returns.
