First of all, I'm a Next Generation, Piccard/Janeway Star Trek fan. The original series was comical and everything after Next Generation was pretty weak.
Having said that, this movie is targeted towards pre-teen dorkisauris and anyone who's still alive that watched the original star trek series. For the modern day, average sci-fi buff, this movie offered little draw, except for the concept of destroying worlds and the fights between the rogue Romulans and the Federation.
Also, the movie did not flow like the Next Generation based movies have. It jumped from point to point and if you did not know everything about the history of Spock and Kirk, you might have had to rewind it just so you caught everything. For the average ADHD viewer, this might not mattered anyway.
And uh so Spock just happens to be on the SAME PLANET that Kirk ends up on? Uh OK, I'll believe that one.
Overall good cheese, but I have high standards for Star Trek thanks to Piccard and Janeway. If I wasn't biased towards them I might have given it a 7.
