Agreed. I was luke-warm on ST '09 but saw some serious potential and after all the great buzz about the screenplay I was pretty pumped to see STID. Paid extra to see it in 3-d a night early at 8pm, blah blah blah. And then...it sucked. For the first time, I won't be in line on opening night and super pumped. I'll catch a matinee a week or two into the run when it's convenient. Oh well...

Of course, if we weren't made to wait 4 years for Into Darkness, maybe it would've been received better. So far, the wait for 3/13 is about the same and this time I bet they're hoping it'll be so long we've forgotten ID.
I liked ID, actually, and found the story relevant. I'm not interested in a political debate, I know which way a bunch of you lean.

Why would it be absurd? I'm only comparing them in terms of entertainment value and expressiveness. Both installments at their core tell a story. They use different methods, budgets etc., of course. But they do have a story. So why can't I compare how this story affects me as a viewer?
I found Into Darkness more compelling and entertaining than any two hours of Deep Space Nine.

You can, it's just that comparing the storytelling capability of an entire series arc to a two hour movie, and putting them on equal ground, is absurd.
That's like saying you like Bill's work better than Bob's because Bill accomplished more in the 24 hours he was there, rather than Bob who was only required to be there for two.
Whereas I thought it was closer to the 1986 TOS novel Dreadnought.
What with its evil Admiral character first trying to seem like a good guy, Big powerful dreadnought type star ship thats part of said admiral's plans, and involving the TOS crew, also a hunt for rouge starfleet officers that turns out to have a twist in it that reveals said admiral as the evil master mind.
That's absurd. Everyone knows Orci can't read.
...and finding reasons to put nubile science officers in various states of undress. God bless America!
