I loved this movie - much more than the last one. I especially liked the opening scene - funny, crazy, spacey awesomeness. The recognition of Ambassador Spock's death was touching and made me cry. I will always hold a special place in my heart for the first Vulcan I ever knew.
Anyway, back to the review... I liked it cause it didn't seem to be a copy of an already existing Star Trek movie. Not that doing that would be a bad thing, but they already did that in the last movie. This one stood on it's own and developed the same (yet unique) characters very nicely. It seemed that this movie was more focused on characters and plot then the last one. I liked that aspect. Good job Scotty! I mean Simon!
Jaylah was fabulous! The addition of this alien was extremely well done - and not just because she liked the Bestie Boys. She was a strong, identifiable character AND she wasn't put in only as a love interest! Well done movie maker guys! Well done. I really hope to see her again in the next Star Trek.
