CGiii Comment
This is Star Trek...not a buddy movie...what's going on?
Perhaps, Messieurs Pegg and Jung ought not be employed to write the next installment...the constant 'witty' one-liners were all over-the-place and all seemed out-of-place.
The story...quite possibly the weakest one yet...drags to its sappy conclusion. Obviously, the producers of the franchise are out to get the 'Young Adult' market...with the old-school Trekkies clinging on for dear life...it's not looking good, it looks like the old Star Trek is dead and gone...the next one will probably feature Spock having an emotional break-drown and Jim experimenting with his sexuality. Tick those boxes!

The first leg of the USS Enterprise's five year mission takes them into uncharted territory. There the Enterprise is nearly destroyed and strands Kirk and his crew on a remote planet with no means of communication. Kirk must then work with the elements to reunite his crew and get back to Earth.
