It was just OK until they started to make it into the Wrath of Khan and got all the details weird.
I don't know what the Wrath of Khan is, but I can guess it has something to do with the character of the same name. I don't really know much about Star Trek, nor have I seen any of the TV series, so my outsider perspective is probably different than someone who is at least somewhat invested in the series*.
*Which I am assuming you are, but we all know what they say about assumptions.
He was a leader of a group of super soldier created in the 1990's but they all were cryogenically frozen a shot into space after the war because they thought themselves to be better than humanity, and tried to take over. Kirk finds them in the orginal episode 'space seed.' Where they have a serious almost deadly confrontation, and ends with Kahn and his army being talked into settling into an uninhabited garden paradise, where they are left for 15 years.. Turns out to be quite the hell hole. So begins Star Trek 2 the wrath of Kahn...
If you have net flixs you have to watch those two Star Trek events... Then watch how Abrams paid tribute, it's breath taking. The scenes have a much deeper meaning than what is on the surface.
