well let me clarify, have been a trek fan all my life.
for me last film (into darkness) we had yes a heavy trek film full on we then come into this.
the first 30 mins i felt was a complete waste of time it was slow to start in anyway with story going in not much of any sort of direction and starting to think to myself what on earth is going on here has this film been wrecked?
but think to myself no give it chance and slowly it got going and the story slowly started to craft its self with humour coming along into it and getting better as it went along to be fair.
which then relates to my comment about pegg being a fanboy i stand by that comment for this reasoning, where someone is close you get a version from there head with there own rose tinted glasses thinking its super wonderful, where as a writer and director from thats not a super fanboy (and i don't mean this in a nasty way either) has some stand alone objectivity that the film has to appeal to the masses and up on its own right be entertaining and decent story all the way thru i honestly felt this did not do this all the way thru specfically the first 30 mins unless you felt the first 30 mins was good?
I have spoken with alot of my friends and trekky friends too and the main comment i get from most is "its not my favourite one tbh"
problem is also this the studio hire one director to do a film in one direction example we will say jj heavy full on, then we get pegg with justin lin in another a lighter slower direction. biggest problem becomes for the studio will the fans keep swallowing different directions with different directors and writing and keep buying it because in my eyes its just coporate greed slowly killing off trek.
studios think we will just keep rebooting films and make money.
reason they keep rebooting they didn't make money and numbers they wanted on last film they made and imho if they keep going this way people will lose interest in trek and they will shut it all down again because there is no money in it.

theres only a bit in it, but the studios need to get some proper direction i not saying this to be harsh to pegg i want future trek films to keep coming but the studios need to get a grip and focus on one direction and stick with it!
