Set phasers on "Stupid!"

Rating: 1/10 (22 October 2009)

Awful movie! Simply awful! "Star Trek XI" has got to be the poorest excuse for a "Star Trek" film yet! JJ Abrams should leave directing motion pictures to people who know what they are doing and stick to producing TV shows!("Fringe" has proved to be an excellent series!) He should especially stay out Gene Roddenberry's universe! Bad story, bad plot, bad direction, bad cinematography. Just a bad movie. Abrams has admitted he was always more a "Star Wars" fan than a Trekker, so what has he done? Abrams, along with writers Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman have managed to take our beloved "Star Trek" franchise and turn it into "Star Wars 90210!" The shaky hand held camera technique (ala' "Cloverfield!") of cinematography and harsh "lens flares" in every scene nauseated me to the point of actually walking out on this movie and demanding my money back! Leonard Nimoy's small part couldn't even help this confused, ill conceived turkey! Bottom line: This was a bad science fiction film that simply contained elements of "Star Trek." That's where the similarities end.
