I'll remember to force myself not to enjoy it In all seriousness, while I acknowledge that it's not good, I do feel that there are some legitimately good parts to it. There's some attempts at a commentary on post-911 attitudes, and the movie does get better if you see it through that lens. More importantly, I will defend the overall character arc for Kirk in the Kelvin Trilogy, even if most of the development is in 2009 and Beyond. Are you telling me he doesn't run off to do something stupid by himself for a change? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but that's the beginning of his arc. He's arrogant and a bit selfish, but he does show intelligence and some leadership qualities. Guy has some growing to do. In Beyond? Not as much. By the end of the film, he (and the other characters) have grown into their roles, which is emphasized when Kirk stares at the picture of the original cast at the end. Is it the most well executed character arc in cinema? No. But I still enjoy it, and I do think it's a good character arc. It's also why I say "Kelvin Trilogy" instead of "Kelvin Timeline," because Beyond is a good end point for basically that reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is he's an action hero, who by there very nature is arrogant and a bit selfish, instead of a captain who is intelligent and shows leadership qualities. He regularly abandons his position in order to pursue his own selfish interest, and try to personally solve the problems himself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
