The film opened with a great comic scene where Kirk is shown
to be a Starfleet Ambassador and diplomat to a new race of beings; something
that we rarely see in other plotlines. It portrays the trying times of the
characters before the plot begins and what the characters want to achieve. I
thought it was very moving to have a small spell of silence in tribute to
Leonard Nimoy during the opening scenes; and the action was great with the
destruction of the Enterprise (which usually occurs much later in the film).
But once this was done and the characters were in captivity, the storyline was
all too familiar as the crew get rescued and are re-united in a final battle
against Krall whose backstory to the main plot was rushed in towards the very
end. It’s great that they’ve brought in new aliens but the crew’s separation
created too many plotlines to follow.
