I didn’t like it. Too many changes for me. I doubt seriously that I’ll bother watching the next one. I also couldn’t warm up to Kirk and the whole Spock/Uhura thing was all wrong!! DDVM, I was upset when they blew up Vulcan. The Vulcans were some of my favorite characters in Star Trek.
I did think Karl Urban did a very good Doctor McCoy. For me, he was the one bright spot in the movie.
