Star Trek.

Bad things:

The camera work was queasy-making.

The science was a little more awful than usual (but I didn't care).

Good things:

EVERYTHING ELSE.

The cast was pitch-perfect, most especially Karl Urban and Zachary Quinto. The rest did a little more branching out in new directions and delving into their characters more deeply than the original series, which was good. I can definitely handle a competent Chekov. While the exposition was a little too much, the concept worked for me, and the execution was stylish and dramatic.

Although I still think that the scriptwriters started out by adapting the novel Best Destiny into a movie, and the rest came about as the result of making it AU.

So. When are they starting filming on the next one?



Discuss.

I was very pleased that I didn't keep thinking SYLAR!!!! during the movie. Unlike Agent Smith of Rivendell, Quinto totally owned the role of Spock. No Spocklar at all.

Very much yes.
