I'm a big Trek fan, but I can't understand why this latest movie is so well loved. It's nothing but a generic summer blockbuster with no soul, an incoherent threadbare storyline, insanely weak villains and more plot holes and contrivances than a barrel of Swiss cheese. What did posters here think of JJ Abrams' 'reinvigoration' (heh!) of Star Trek?
The New Star Trek Movie = Totally Overrated

Take a Hit, Spunker!
One of the best movies I've seen. You're one of the few people I've seen that's given it a bad review. The thing you have to remember is it's a prequel. There's a sequel that's going to be made and I'm sure it'll go deeper into the Star Trek universe.

Well it has brought Star Trek to a new generation. That is always a plus and it has made a lot of money. I heard they plan to make another one.
Really it is one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. And I am more of a Star Wars girl myself.
You should totally dress up like Slave Leia.....
LOL I went to the Star Wars convention a few years back and almost did.
Just came from from seeing that movie and it's totally one of the best summer action movies I've ever seen. The direction they are taking with this franchise is refreshing and much needed. I can only hope the JJ Abrams will take the Star Wars to a new direction in the future. After the last several ST movies I've pretty much given up on watching any more Trek movies but as long Abrams is at the helm I'll be supporting the franchise with my money.
Great reboot of the franchise. I loved what they did with it. I am looking forward to more Trek movies in the future.
I'm way more into Star Wars, and don't really think about Star Trek enough to complain about it. As far as the new movie goes, it was atleast entertaining.
BTW, Nina Mercedez as Slave Leia = WIN !

I loved it. I thought Zachary Quinto was fantastic.
The hype surrounding this Star Trek movie reminds me of the hype surrounding Metallica's Death Magnetic album and also the hype around the movie Sin City. Both of which are way overrated and extremely lacking in quality content. There's better out there, one just needs to open their eyes to see this. But then again I guess you could just say that this is down to personal preference. And it would be true.
Really?!? I've yet to see a hollywood blockbuster that comes close this year. :dunno:
There's more to the movie world than just so-called summer blockbuster movies, my friend
Very true, the summer blockbuster season is something that doesn't really interest me (endless sequels, remakes etc with each one trying to be louder than the last!) but judged on those terms, & thats the only way to judge it, Star Trek is excellent, a fun movie.There's more to the movie world than just so-called summer blockbuster movies, my friend
I guess it all comes down to personal preference in the end.

what the fuck you lookin at?
thats exactly why you didn't like it. I enjoyed it, but I've never been a trek geek. If you just look at it from an entertainment perspective, its actually pretty good. Don't read so much into shit. Its not the star trek you grew up watching.
