Star Trek 8/10 - Overall very good, especially the sets/special effects/cinematography. I have seen only a few episodes and a couple of the original movies. They did a good job of making this feel like a movie that anybody could walk in and see not really knowing anything about the Star Trek universe.

I will say this: I was extremely bothered by the use of Sabotage when young Kirk is driving around on Earth. As you are aware, the Beastie Boys have a line in Intergalactic that makes reference to the Vulcun nerve grip (a pinch in the neck from Mr. Spock). How would the Beastie Boys know about Spock before the Vulcans made contact?

In a Zombie movie you wonder why the main character doesn't know he needs to shoot the zombie in the head. Didn't he see Dawn of the Dead? No. The Romero films don't exist in that character's universe. But in this Trek universe the Beastie Boys clearly do, and there is no reason to suppose they have released their entire catalog except Intergalactic or altered that line in any way. An embarrassing oversight, to be sure.
Are you serious?
