Star Trek_360P

source: Star Trek

Poorly directed and poorly filmed space adventure that could have been called anything besides "Star Trek". The characters, as written, felt more like the knock-off's you see in B-movie attempts most often seen on SyFy channel. I think JJAbrams had a few scenes in his head that he thought would, "Look SOOOO cool!!!" and did all he could make a movie around them. Enterprise in a corn field, man shooting through water tubes in the brewery, er I mean, engine room, red shirt's getting killed needlessly, etc. Abrams I think saw more "Saturday Night Live" like sketch comedies than he did episodes. I think if the movie had been made by any other director, and one with a less active hype machine, this movie would have been panned and dismissed as the poor execution that it was.

I was very disappointed with this movie in so many ways. Decades of Star Trek lore have been completely annihilated in this movie. We meet the crew as they are at the academy, and straight away it's like one cheesy catch phrase after another. I just could not associate any of the characters with their future counterparts. Their personalities didn't really reflect each other. They looked like giddy teenage pals going to a Star Trek convention. The whole storyline just made no sense at all, and with so many plot holes, technobabble, unrealistic sequences, and characters that I couldn't relate to, it just wasn't a good movie to watch. On top of all that the only character I was able to relate to was Spock, only to me it wasn't Spock it was Syler with pointy eyebrows and ears and throughout the film I expected him to lift someone in the air and slice their head off. Thanks Heroes...

Commercial offal designed to make a buck from lowbrow riff raff just because it says Star Trek on the lid. Otherwise, it is an exaggerated phony action movie with no sci-fi, a poseur captain Kirk with a cheesy facial expression and no flaunting or sex scene. So you tell me what's in it for me??

Where to begin... It's official now, Star Trek has a plot hole in it so big you can fly the Death Star through it. I was hoping to like this movie, really. But there were so many things wrong here, so many I don't know where to begin. But I'd swear the people behind this film have never seen another Star Trek anything, it only seems like dumb luck they have references to other Star Trek series. Which those references can no longer count as Trek continuity now being changed those events that create such comment might not happen that way. So the references are now pointless quips and meaningless. This is why so many writers should stay away from the time travel thing, they're not smart enough to remember what they started with. The only good points to this movie was Karl Urban's role as McCoy and the soundtrack.

Hollywood and the desperate losers who uncnditionally support it WHAT is the point for this?? It is not Star Trek if you are going to change the back story and everything we have seen so far! Or if you insist give me back all the money I have spent watching all the Treks until today.

So I managed to go to the world premiere at the Sydney opera house last night. While I will not ruin the film before its release by delivering a shot by shot review here I will say that JJ Abrams is quite possibly the smartest film maker on the planet. Managing to poke fun at some of the sillier aspects of the original series/movies while still being completely respectful, action scenes that easily rival anything in Transformers, and space battles that are breathtaking. Now let me just say that while I do consider myself a big fan of Trek in all its forms, i don't have a uniform hanging in my wardrobe and I cant speak Klingon, but having said that I will say the movie is F###ING AMAZING...!!! Honestly, incredible film, do yourself a favour and see it as soon as it comes out. thanks, the end.

Firstly: Not only is the writing vapid, you have no empathy towards the two dimensional characters and so the entire movie is missing pathos. The plot is itself thin, it seems that a few explosions and special effects are the limits of depth to this director. I wasted 80 bucks buying tickets to this piffle. And the lapses in logic, (one of many examples: why would any military grant a cadet Captaincy of the Federations most valuable warship?) Secondly: For those of us with a memory, this movie is an insult. Repudiate years of my interest in a series solely because you have lazy writers is a huge insult to those of us who have wasted four decades watching Star Trek just to have every television program and movie repudiated to give these idiots "creative space"? Only the truly talentless could be so arrogant. Goodbye Star Trek.
