   The respect for the canon was reasonably good, though with some   
   quibbles.  The story was stolen and stupid.  The explosions were way   
   more than what I care to waste a couple hours of my life on.  The Kirk   
   character was a lifeless parody of what a teenager imagines a young   
   Kirk to be.  Spock was good, but for me nothing much else was.
