In a word - Disgusting!

Rating: 5/10 (13 July 2004)

The overall story line is worthy of the original series, but the way it is implemented is offensive to those of us who grew up with the T.V. series. The characters shouldn't have been used that way. I can not forgive that. Only someone completely lacking in common sense, or a complete egomaniac, would have pulled a stunt like that. Any redeeming value the film might have had is lost under the impact of the extreme lack of sensitivity.
Oh yes, there is one scene that I remember, not because of the action, but because of the total absurdity of it. Care to guess which one that was? Yep - the big tunnel scene. I've seen a lot of movie scenes that asked me to stretch my imagination pretty far, or even suspend my capacity for reason altogether, but never before have I been insulted like this. The setting of the film and the property itself demands that the events and the action be at least plausible. That, too, was tossed aside by Tom Cruise.
What a waste.
