One of those who was largely unimpressed with Star Trek into Darkness was the director of Wrath of Khan Nicholas Meyer.
J.J. Abrams second Star Trek movie, Star Trek into Darkness is best remembered for being the movie that lifts a lot of characters and story beats from the other Star Trek II, the one called Wrath of Khan.
While Myer says he appreciated the homage, he felt it just didn’t do anything new with the ideas.
