Extremely good sequel. Inevitably lacks the surprise and freshness of the 2009 version but full of life, mixes the tropes well, and I really liked how there's two villains, nasty Peter Weller and enigmatic Benedit Cumberbatch.
I was surprised that Bruce Greenwood's Captain Pike survived the first movie so it wasn't a shock to see him killed her. Alice Eve - an It Girl at the time - doesn't really add much and has to do a scene in her underwar. They struggle to give Zoe Saldana stuff to do. Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto are excellent.
There's the usual bloat but on the whole I enjoyed this.
