I thought it was a good movie but I found myself annoyed. The whole point of Abram's first movie was to give himself a clean slate. Why on earth go after the best film in the older series? Meyers Khan has an ensemble and script that Abrams cannot hope to top. Ricardo was perfect. Meyers "run silent run deep" sequence is superior. Spock's death is more impactful. Kirk's legendary yell in the center of a dead planet needs no cheesy reproduction. Why would Abrams invite the comparison? I didn't know it was Khan going into the theater and I found myself rolling my eyes at the weak plot parallels. The alternate timeline thing was played out in the first movie. It was a solid film and if you missed Meyers better material perhaps it was damn good, but not for me. Meyers: yours is superior! (That's a notable quotable in case you missed it)
