LOL I just sent the file to you via FTP.  It should be in the folder that Kenny created, called Star Trek 12 impressions.  Sorry for the poor quality and zero effects or editing, it was all I could do to get the four clips together into one project.  Hope it's usable.

[Rico]

COOL!  Grabbing it now.

Saw it yesterday.

[spoiler]
And I really enjoyed it. The only two minor things I didn't really cre fr are the two things most other people have mentioned. I felt the exchange with Spock Prime was basically useless. Secondly I didn't love Spock yelling Khan. To me it didn't really belong.  It was something they did because they could, not because it was necessary to the story. It also seems like an odd out of character reaction not only for Spock, but for anyone in the movie except Khan himself.

Aside from that though, it was a great roller coaster ride that did feel like trek to me. I really enjoyed Scotty, again kind of a nod to TSFS when Scotty prime disabled the excelsior's trans warp drive. I enjoyed sulu being given command for the first time and chekov being thrust into the role of chief engineer and struggling at it.

The slight adjustment to khans motivation (saving his people as opposed to revenge on Kirk) made him a more sympathetic villain overall and made the story a little bit more complex then just the straight up "I hate you Kirk" of TWOK.

Here is an article from The Wrap about the box office results. 70.6 mil domestic sounds pretty good to me.

Unfortunatley it won't be portrayed that way. They likely wanted to get closer to a $100M opening weekend.

4 year layoff, plus lets face it, Trek is never going to have mass appeal that superheroes do. I would imagine more patents are along for the ride with little kids for Iron Man than Trek. Still, the old Trek films grossed like above average B-movies.

It is trending great on Rotten Tomatoes with an 89% approval rating, so that's very good.
