The Good:
The score composed by Michael Abels is solid. Nothing majestic (like John Williams) or spectacular (like Kevin Kiner or Michael Giacchino), but it fits in the world of Star Wars. I appreciate the few editing choices and visual effects to make it feel like George Lucas' Star Wars. Dafne Keen looks cool, but doesn't have a lot to do.
The Bad:
Feels more like Star Trek than Star Wars. The Rashomon effect-style story is predictable. Not a lot of surprises, you can either see them coming or they were spoiled in the trailers. The Force-Fu fighting is not impressive, could've been better. Disney/Lucasfilm's hubris is in full display here. They still think they can redefine and make a better Star Wars than George Lucas' Star Wars.
The Ugly:
Jedi Master Vernestra Rwoh (the worst character in the series) using The Force to open an automatic door.

Basically, Star Trek For Dummies, but an entertaining kick-ass movie from start to finish none the less. The sound and visuals are top notch. The cast is great. Some of the actors make their own interpretation of the characters (Kirk, Spock, Uhura) and others do their best to imitate the originals (McCoy, Scotty), but they are all very fun to watch. I wish William Shatner would have said YES to the cameo he was offered. I admire the filmmakers' bold move of rebooting the Star trek time line and restarting it with a clean slate. It was much needed. Welcome back Star Trek, your future looks promising. NOTE: The Star Trek: Countdown prequel comic book is highly recommended.
