Thought the film was fun, but it ain't Star Trek.

They've actually started to remind me a bit of 80's action films, where you have the hero (Schwartzneggar, Stallone or whoever) spaying bullets and gunning down henchmen left right and centre, impervious to any harm themselves. In the same way there are lots of bits where I kept thinking to myself "the odds of surviving that would be just so small", and they get away with it hair styling intact every time (sliding down the saucer section bit for instance, when it's flipping over)

It actually just comes across as childish storytelling.

And that bit about Sulu being gay was all overblown wasn't it, think I literally turned down to flick a piece of popcorn off my chest and then looked up to the screen and had almost missed it!
