Star Trek (Spoiler Alert)

So I saw the new Star Trek last night at 7, which was cool because I didn't have to wait until midnight or whatever to see it the day before. The theater was also pretty empty and I guess no one in San Diego is really a trekkie cuz no one was dressed up except for one guy who was wearing a kilt. As for the movie, there are just too many science based errors/problems I have with the movie. For instance the old Spock talks to the new Spock, WTF doesn't this cause a rip in the space time continuum? I mean I know not all Star Trek science is real but I mean come on, you had Steven Hawking on your show. Also Spock was too emotional, and outranked Kirk, and got Uhura??? WTF I mean I am a bigger Star Wars fan than Trek, but when I want to take a break from unrealism I watch Star Trek. This film just had too many small problems that added up over time to just ultimately annoy me. However the movie was not all lost, almost all of the characters were spot on. Kirk, contrary to my previous assumptions, was not a school boy bitch and truly channeled his inner Shat, that 'good god man' he had was pretty good. But the oscar goes to bones, he was the real McCoy and did an outstanding job. In the end I hope this movie sparks interest for more Star Trek, hopefully of a higher caliber with more realism, and also did this just seem like they were jacking off Leonard Nimoy?
