Mr. Plinkett noticed some similarities between JJ Abrams' new Star Trek film and other Star Trek films.

Spot on, absolutely spot on.

Aaaaand, the sad thing is, I spotted most of those references/rips whilst watching the film...

Haven't seen it yet.. or the 2009 one, too many pretty people and lens flares.

Anywho, didnt remember when making the first post that RedLetterMedia did an
actual review of it too (non-Plinkett):

Saw this movie a couple of weeks ago. I wish I had never heard of a lens flare. Started counting them. Then lost interest. When Kirk went into the reactor I looked around the theatre to see if any one else noticed this rip off. It didn't seem to bother anybody.

Any way, the wife enjoyed it but then she's easily impressed. She married me.

Only opens here next Thursday! Incredible late compare with other countries, weird. Know some spoilers but will go see it to see what and why! But i kind like the review that Mr. Plinkett did to the first one!

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.
