Star Trek definitely not this year's Iron Man

Wanted to watch it on IMAX, but got delayed. So decided we go for another movie. We even got the tickets for the another movie (which I shall not name here), but in the last minute exchanged it for Star Trek. 

Got the tickets and the seats w/o any hassle.  I had imagined a lot of people will show up, but that wasn't the case. Dark Knight was packed and we had to sit in the front rows to watch it - that is after we reached the theatre an hour before the show. This time reached 1/2 hour before and still got to sit at the very last row in the theatre (near the projector) and didn't even have to stand in line to get to the seats. Also a bunch of people walked out of the movie while it was playing. I guess they were die-hard fans who didn't like this version.   

The reviews are good for the movie and someone even called it 'this year's iron man'. It's not. It's a decent movie but IMO cannot be compared to Iron Man. Although I will end by saying it is better than X-Men Origins Wolverine. 

I just hope the other summer movies - Angels & Demons, Terminator, Transformers, G.I Joe live up to expectations...
