I saw Trek 2013 and wanted to note that the standard DLP looked and sounded like crap in comparison to the Imax 3D which had stunning detail and better sound.

Could be because Imax has their techs go in and set things up and the Loews AMC people have no clue what they are doing.  Sound way too loud etc.

The standard DLP was said to be in 4k and i have seen more impressive blu rays because it looked like DVNR'ed to death video.  NO real detail or sharpness to the image and no film grain.  They made a big deal about it being Sony 4k, either it was an upscale or Sony 4k sucks.

The film deserves 2 to 2 and a half stars as an action film.  Story wise if i took points off for not being an original story, there would be negative stars.

I really liked the new warp drive effect with the plasma trail.  Not my fave one but its up there.  The music however was good but not enough original stuff too much reprise from the 2009 film.  Maybe i was just expecting to be blown away like i was with James Horner's Star Trek II music, which was just as good if not better than Jerry Goldsmith's Music for star trek the motion picture.
