I thought it was fine for what it is, but no, it doesn't have the right feel for me as a trek fan. Cumberbatch is awesome (as all the Cumberbi**hes will attest), but he doesn't quite pull off Khan. I also don't like the revision of what happens to Christopher Pike. That was one of my favorite episodes in the original. The doc, scotty, and spock are pretty dang good, although I'm absolutely sure they could have come up with a couple more idioms for McCoy's last couple lines, instead of punting (the first few were funny). I also wonder about the difference between characters vs. caracatures. kj.
