The rubber mask on the bad guy is comical. This looks terrible. |

Uhh, not quite. The Klingon war is only broached in historical context in Star Trek so far. Their is no "re-doing" of anything, unlike the lazy shitball writing that made a joke if Khan.

This does not look or feel like Star Trek.
It seems like a completely different universe and I'm even less interested in this film than I was with the last film (which I found unwatchable). |

Right, but that's because you want it to be what you remember from the original series, which isn't really fair. It's different - sure - but different doesn't necessarily mean it's bad.

Not just TOS. It's different from all previous Star Trek properties. All 3 reboot films are. And no, different does not make it bad. It also does not make it good. A cheeseburger cut into tiny pieces and served with chopsticks may be good or bad. It's not the sushi we were looking for though.

The last film barely broke even in cost versus box office receipts. I'll be surprised if this film is a winner. |

I loved the reboot. I believe it was JJ's best work, as he was able to balance his love for propulsive action and narrative twists with an original story that mostly honored the source material. Five months out, I still believe Trek surpasses his rehash of ANH.
Into Darkness was a derivative bore. |

Loved the first one, parts of the 2nd one I liked, but overall kind of meh on it.
This one looks fun. Will pay and watch

The 1st one was genuinely a very good movie, but I enjoyed both of them well enough. I'm fine with seeing another with this cast.
