This ain't your Daddy's Star Trek

Rating: 3/10 (13 May 2009)

All right, I'm not old, 31 years to be exact; I grew up watching reruns of the original series and was tickled pink when the Next Generation came out.
This movie is great....if you have no idea what Star Trek is. I took a friend along to the movie and she thought it was wonderful. I, on the other hand, could not get over how many horrible discrepancies they have. In the original series Spock started out very cold and calculating. In this one he is all temper and making out with junior officers. Then you have to throw in the huge gaps of what this would do to the time-line. Basically every series after this would not exist because at some point or another they either visit Vulcan or have officers born there that would cease to exist.
They could have saved the movie at the end by somehow sending Nero back through time and undoing the destruction of Vulcan and Kirk's dad. They did this in the Voyager episode "Year of Hell". Then they could still have had their movie with the "re-boot" but not screwed up the time-line or &%$@&%@ off a lot of hard core trek fans. As far as I am concerned, this movie has absolutely nothing to do with Star Trek cannon.
