The 2009 film was spectacular in every way. The Blu-Ray I have of it is one of my treasured possesions. The action, the story, the coincidences were all amazing. But what's not amazing are Trekkie internet naysayers.
The original Star Trek series was a SciFi that was serious in nature, but that was also pure entertainment. This is a factor that serious Trekkies seem to forget when slating the reboot film. The original Kirk galavanted around the Galaxy, shagging Aliens, disregarding rules, getting into fist fights with #Klingons, firing Phasers and generally being the"Coolest White Man to Ever Live". The Reboot Kirk is exaclty the same in my opinion, almost a facsimilie. He sleeps with Green Aliens, takes on 5 goons in a bar brawl, commits near-mutiny, fires phasers and has a fist fight or few with some Romulans. As for the Timeline shennanigans it seems to me that this root of criticism is childish and petty. Time travel was a key feature in many episodes/films of the #StarTrek, so why can't it be part of the Kirk/Spock origin story?
