Yeah, I never saw this in the theater. I really hate leaving the house on weekends and I don't like to go out after work, and I dunno, if it weren't for work I might never leave the house. I get panic attacks sometimes in large groups of people and sometimes I just can't deal, so I don't see that many movies in the theater. I dunno. Maybe I would have liked it better if I'd seen it in the theater.
I enjoyed it for the most part until it started getting all cutesy and up its own ass with the referential crap. A tribble for no reason, and then the whole reversal of Kirk and Spock at the end of Wrath of Khan, and then suddenly Spock is yelling "KHAAAAAN!!!!" and I'm annoyed. I love a good wink at the audience if it's done right, but too much and it's just fucking lazy. And it just made me want to rewatch Wrath of Khan, cuz that's a good movie. And I love Cumberbatch, but I kept trying to wonder what it would sound like if he said "fine Corinthian leather..."
Dude! Seconded. That's exactly how I felt.
