As god as my witness i'll never criticise voyager again...

Rating: 1/10 (21 May 2009)

I'm not going to rant, or indeed rave. This film is written for people who hate Star Trek, by people who obviously despise Star Trek.
In their eyes we 'trekkies' (its Trekker by the way) are socially dysfunctional nerds who are to be ridiculed at every turn. What this new film is two hours of loud, colourful, cheap and cheerful action aimed at stealing some of 'Transformers 2's thunder. And thats fine, if that's what the media and the public who hate star trek want it to be, then who are we,the ones who have supported and loved the franchise for 40 years, to stand in their way. Just let us know when you're done.
If you are a Trekker who claims to like this film (and this is where i'll rant) you're the type of Trekker who probably thinks every episode of DS9 which isn't part of the Dominion War is rubbish, and that TNG is boring because Picard prefers to avoid war through peace and diplomacy rather than shooting his way out of trouble. Congratulations, JJ Abrams has granted your wish and made Star Trek the 'Old West in Space' you always wanted it to be. I hope you're very happy together.
