It does drag a little in the middle as everyone has said. I think my biggest complaint is that the script has a theme that is very much worthy of a star trek film, but the action doesn't bear out the lesson. The theme is about the strength of unity, and disruption of unity is the weapon that gets the job done, but at the same time, the federation never takes responsibility for its callousness at casting crews out to the unknown with no recourse. If the intent was to show that the sacrifice is truly understood by the federation, I think they left some resolution out of that. Clearly they showed crews understand the risks they are taking, but I also felt like Kirk was looking for more meaning and it would have resolved better to have him make a harder choice at the end, not just a "time constraint on a task" action ending.
I did enjoy it though. This summer has been pretty lame so it gets bonus points for not flat out sucking.
