Hello,
was in the film 2 days ago with wife. I found the characters very shallow, and Scotty was absolutely no comparison to the real one - in fact they could have taken anyone else, and it would not have been a big difference.
Spock is highly illogical - and a tête à tête with Uhura ? Really ?

Some critic on the US way of killing insurgents, drones, and secret organisations violating (here) space-wide law in clandestine operations.

And ..
- how old is Kirk supposed to be, in this 'second' early StarTrek ?
- Whatever those 'aliens' depicted as "Klingons" were - they sure were NO KLINGONS !
- Why do space ships able to hit each other over millions of miles, have to hover at a 100 meters distance to shoot at each other ?

Gigantic megalomanic BIG cgi effects, too much shooting and scrapping, with fist hits sounding like a Panzerfaust hitting a brick wall all the time.
Eastern Kung Fu films look like a kindergarden compared to this.

The <= 17 year-old will love it.

Meh.
