Where do I begin? I really wish I could say I am simply an embittered fan of the old trek but it goes so much deeper than that. This movie does nothing interesting or original. Cumberbatch out acted everyone around him even with such a dire script. It's amazing how Hollywood turned a franchise driven by fans into a formulaic and by the numbers money spinner. I was predicting what was going to happen within ten minutes of getting into it. On the plus side it looks pretty - then again it should given the amount of money poured into it.

I can only hope Trek goes back to television when it can take more risks, focus on plots and not have to impress an audience it assumes is stupid and cannot watch for more than ten minutes without seeing an explosion.

Abrams is definitely the man for Star Wars...and definitely not the man for Star Trek.

I've just watched this film and all I can is wow. What a nice, refreshing change to see a good concept pay homage to the "mockumentary"/horror genre without treading over the same clichés. The acting is brilliant and realistic (you feel they are normal people not actors), the effects are really amazing given the budget and the premise is darn good fun, especially for those who are interested in Norse/Germanic folklore. It did drag a little in parts but that is the point of a documentary. In all a great effort, my hat goes off to the Norwegian film industry for producing such a fun gem...hopefully we will see a sequel with Jotuns hehe!
