I saw it. Very strange movie. All the stars seemed to have gone out and all the ships were cloaked. It was pitch black in every room of the ship and at all locations and everyone in the cast was a deaf mute. I sat there watching for two hours, and I have to say it just plan sucked.

I just got back from watching it.
Thank God Shatner was really in it after all. Seeing him and Spock together after all these years brought tears to my eyes. That "de-aging" CGI is amazing shit. And NONE of us thought of what Abrams and his writers did to get around Kirk's death. Amazing.
As for the young Kirk and Spock...man, they're going to hopefully come into their roles a little more in the next film. Though the guy who played Kirk was really surprising. A mix of Shatner and Nathan Fillion. Brilliant.
I loved what they did with the Enterprise and how we saw her from her first launch with a young Kirk watching, and then the ceremony years later when Pike handed over the symbolic sword as a symbol of command change. Just great stuff.
And when they first showed us the bridge of the Enterprise when the TOS era of the movie began...chills and more tears.
Finally, all this movie needed with Jerry Goldsmith. Too bad they couldn't get Joel to do it...
Solid A rating.
