I didn’t like the way Kirk and Uhura were written. Kirk was a jerk, not “brash”, “arrogant”, or “untamed”. I can’t see this character growing into the Kirk we all know and love.

Nichols’ Uhura was professional, warm, attractive. The new Uhura was written as bitchy and attractive. I can’t see her growing into the Uhura we all know and love.

Scotty was different but OK. Chekov, who shouldn’t even be there, was fine, as was Sulu. Quinto nailed the Spock character perfectly.

The story was OK at best–like most Star Trek stories.

This movie will grow on me in time. They all do.
