Exactly, it's pre space seed. So why then go and attempt to make what is essentially a Wrath of Khan remake on speed? Of all the iconic moments in cinema that are exploited in this film, not one of them feels earned.
Also, remember that scene in Wrath of Khan when Kirk beams over to the Reliant and gets into a fist fight with Khan? It doesn't exist because the story was strong enough to not have a cliched punchout with the bad guy.
Damn good summer blockbuster. Pale immitation star trek. Though if star wars is done like this, we should be in for a show.
