and let's hope they don't get any worse, if there even is another sequel following this uninspired sci-fi action flick accidentally populated with characters from the star trek universe.
my first reaction was aaaaaaaaagh.... AAAAAAAGH!!!!
production values... check. casting... check. sexy new alien.... check. banter.... check (sort of, sometimes). pacing... check, i guess. visually stunning sets.... check. but star trek? no, no, no, no no no. this is a sci-fi action film that happens to use characters from the abram's cast.
the villain is bland and the plot uninspired. oh, no, the galaxy/enterprise is in danger. granted that's going to be part of any plot line here, probably, but how it's executed does make a difference. did they do even one thing to continue the expansion/reimagining of the star trek universe? did they, for instance, pick a thread out of "into darkness" and start to develop the human/klingon conflict plot line? did they make good and interesting use of their talented supporting players? not even close.
no real character evolution. lots of exposition for disposable characters, though, done in what is frequently the least interesting way--the character merely relating details of their history (without even good dialogue or tension to add to the moment).
sorry... i've been a fan since TOS... i loved abram's vision. i was saddened to see this release and i hope it doesn't kill the franchise, but i also hope it's not a sign of things to come.
as a final word... anton, you will be missed. regardless of the ultimate quality of this film, your marvelous contribution as ensign chekov and many other creative works will stand testament to your considerable talent and gift to all who enjoyed them. taken from us far too young.

no spoilers here...
just when i thought they were never going to pull this card out of the supernatural deck... NO YOU DINT GUYS! yes you did! i loved it. fearless.
not the tightest episode by far in terms of storytelling, but a very enjoyable turn/reveal in terms of the overall story arc. and i'm still diggin' metatron very much.
i've felt they were stalling out on the amara storyline and think this episode hearkens a needed plot re-energization and hopefully they will punch it into higher gear the rest of the season.

kate seigel is the bomb. there are a few goofs; she's supposed to be deaf and mute, but there are some very subtle articulations that made it through editing. nothing that threatens suspension of disbelief too much, and does not detract from the suspense.
this does not give anything away particularly but the killer's mask is only too creepy, far scarier than any menacing clown or hockey mask could ever be.
there are unexpected turns of events.
good casting, great performances, extremely well edited considering the near absence of dialogue--the pace and timing will not let you down. absolutely ten stars, a gem in its genre.
