Let's get the good stuff out of the way. This movie nailed difficult casting choices. Quinto as Spock etc was very well done. Casting helped build the backstory of how these characters met because each character was easily recognizable. There was never a moment of disbelief that this character was not the younger version of a McCoy, Kirk, Chekov etc. They just "fit".
Now that the good stuff is out of the way...wow did that movie fucking suck. Rotten Tomatoes gave it 95% fresh? That seriou...
