the whole Wrath of Kahn death scene/super blood revival felt just cheap and not like a nice nod to long time fans

 

Yep.  I had my concerns when I heard the villain for this pic was Khan that they'd be treading too closely over old ground.  You can probably guess what Spock is hollering here.  I didn't really feel that was necessary.

It was okay overall, although I suppose I'm showing my age in saying I found it a bit too darn loud.  I hope next time out they'll show more confidence in their concept than to bring back the Borg or Nazi aliens or other previous Trek bad guys.

I felt like I had unknowingly violated the Temporal Prime Directive: I knew what was going to happen before it happened. So yes, agreed about the predictability index. I wonder if there is a future for JJ Abrams in this franchise? With his attentions going to Star Wars, how can there be room for more JJ Trek?

The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average.

I suspect the movies will follow the same basics of the first set of movies - everything after the 2nd movie is utter crap.

 

Into Darkness was far too predictable, but if I turned off my brain, it seemed like a fun romp.  We probably should have drank more prior to the movie.
