Star Trek is decent entertainment for all its junk.

Rating: 6/10 (23 August 2011)

The Star Trek franchise has become a sensation across the globe and now TV Producer J.J Abrams comes out with a prequel to the franchise with modern special effects and modern actors to play the classic parts. A good idea, but Abrams does not really achieve his goal. I was bored more than enthralled by the storytelling. Zachary Quinto is good as Spock, a highlight of the otherwise ineffective reboot. The visuals are good with lots of neat insights on the famous franchise, but Abrams adds a lot of unneeded stylized crudeness and action scenes that do not really attain to the plot. It's not bad, but when you get down to it, only Star Trek junkies will give it the time of day.
