Just got back from the movie.

Overall, I'm very conflicted about this movie. On the one hand, it has good action, reasonably good characters, and some genuinely engaging scenarios.

On the other hand, it really retreads the Wrath of Kahn, to the point where it begins to ruin WOK and this movie. So despite it being really fun and engaging as a sequel to the first movie, as a Star Trek fan I would rather not have even seen it.

One quibble: When Kirk says that Spock threw him under the bus, it took me out of the movie a bit. Anachronisms bug me.

As the trolleys are still operating in San Francisco in the 23rd century, buses of some sort probably are as well. It's no more anachronistic than people saying they filmed something with a digital camera. ;)
