Bean

I just watched it and I'm not sure yet what I think overall.

It wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination, but a few things bothered me.

Uhura/Spock/Kirk. That plot point wasn't needed at all. It was just clumsy and awkward.
Like CR mentioned above, the coincidence of Kirk winding up in Spock Primes cave, after happening to wind up on the same planet etc...
And the a lot of the sets, like the Enterprise bridge, were way to busy. It was almost distracting at times.
Also, how in the hell did Kirk and Scotty beam from that planet to the Enterprise which was at warp speed. I understand that the explanation was that he could be the distance from one planet to the adjacent one, but at warp, the Enterprise would have been a lot further away than that. And if they have that technology now with the transporters, doesn't that essentially dispense with the need for Starships at all?

All of these things I can live with, as overall it was a good movie. I can't compare it to other Trek films as better or worse since it's just too different to compare. It's definitely a good way to reinvent the franchise, I'm just not as happy with it as I thought I was going to be.
