...Sure. I mean, the one thing that really stands out to me about the storytelling is the immediate momentum of the new relationships and the narrative suspense of wondering how they will come together and/or reunite and/or fill or break out of certain expected molds, combined with the easily accessible older characters tying into that in a way that doesn't feel too indulgent. And those things rely a lot on the chemistry of the characters whose rushed relationships would have really sank the story, I think, if they weren't believable, as well as the previous investment in the old characters, etc. IMO it could have been as much of an awkwardly uninspired rehash as Star Trek Into Darkness was without those elements and without a lot more investment in fine-tuning whether the nostalgia is being balanced with anything fresh, but that doesn't mean I thought that balance was perfect, as much as I love the idea of the story being cyclical in subtle ways.
