Wow,I can’t believe Kirk marries a tribble. Didn’t see that one coming.
The good thing is, we KNOW that Kirk & Co. survive, since this movie features the young version of the basic crew and we know we've seen 'em as older people. I really didn't like Eric Bana's villain in the first JJAbrams Star Trek movie, although I really enjoyed the rest of the movie, e.g. Kirk's boyhood and Spock's origins. I could have lived quite nicely without the cameo appearance of Leonard Nimoy in that film as well. Dumb.
Pine, Quint, Cho et al are quite refreshing as younger versions of the crew and I look forward to seeing the Darkness Star Trek movie. We have a bargain matinee theater within walking distance. If I don't like the movie, the world won't end.
It was the honorable thing to do after he got her in tribble..
