    One of the reasons Star Trek Into Darkness was released in 2013 instead of 2012 like originally expected was that J.J. Abrams didn’t want to rush the film’s production if the story and script weren’t up to his standards.
    Should have waited till 2014?
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I saw it and really enjoyed it, despite the contrived and sort of feckless ending with Kirk (did like the theme of mirrored similarities to the original timeline, however).

    Wow, for me it's two very solid newjack Star Trek films versus one classic original film. Not bad, the hardcore Trekkies must be seesawing between a state of frothing apoplexy and inconsolable denial.
