Star Trek: Mini-Review

So much e-ink has been spilled on this, it’s almost beyond the point to add to it. So here are my impressions, in brief: it was admittedly entertaining; I had really low expectations, so it didn’t disappoint me; the “alternate-timeline” maneouver was a let-down, but it was admittedly necessary, to give the new crew some wiggle room; once they got the plot-wiggle-room they didn’t do much creative stuff with it. I enjoyed watching it, and forgot it as soon as I left the theater. If you want to read a really long, serious, and somewhat stuffy review of it, the New Republic’s Christopher Orr has one.
