It was a good movie, and I don't think it deserves to be booed, but at the same time it didn't really appeal to me on a level that "real" Star Trek appeals to me.
It was almost all action driven rather than character/plot driven as good Star Trek material should be.
Edit: I give it an hour before Quan comes raging in here threatening to find the master tapes of the original movies and making a bonfire out of them.

I agree on that much, but I did get the impression from Abrams in the making of the movie that he was trying a more "Trek-like" approach than he had done in the first movie.

He failed. The first movie, for all its Hollywood glamor and spectacle, seemed much more Trek-like to me.

Lol have these guys actually seen Insurrection, Nemesis and Generations?
Fact is as as great a series as the Next Generation was, it really did ruin Star Trek on the big screen.
Abrams has taken things back to the days of Star Trek's 2-4, when everyone loved Star Trek films.

Greatest Star Trek film ever. Leave it to the Trekkies to complain about Abrams revitalizing the franchise.

I would say good on him, but I just can't take that statement seriously after all his SW PT b****ing.

I like Generations to a point, but yeah, the movie was better than Nemesis and Insurrection by a long way.

Oh I just think it's a bit ironic him saying that because he was a hardcore fan of the Star Wars OT, and continuously slagged off the PT for not being like the OT.

to me Into Darkness is the 2nd or 3rd best Trek film ever

To me it's third or fourth. It was a good movie, and doesn't even exist in the same level as Final Frontier.

I rather liked Motion Picture. It's one of the few Trek movies about exploring/finding out about new stuff.
Still, not only Final Frontier, but Insurrection, Nemesis... I think these people just forgot just how bad the actually bad Trek movies are.

QFT. No Trek film is worse than The Final Frontier.

lol, ok. Your trolling really is transparent, you know.
You keep trying to separate the Treks, which goes against the actual message of Star Trek. You'll learn in time, ensign.

I think Motion Picture is better than Frontier tbh, but I still think it lacked a lot.
And I'm still mad about never finding out about Decker.
