Tosses out too many previous story lines.

Rating: 2/10 (2 July 2009)

This movie has holes in the plot, plus it basically throws out all, if not most, of the previous story and social writing that this franchise is famous for. This appears to have been done in order to add "more action" and computer graphics so that a new series could be created. "More action" could have been added to the existing "timeline" and characters without sacrificing what the original Star Trek became and changing the character relationships like this damages what has made this franchise great. To discard the basics like this dooms the next project to "just action" and money, but "not art". Again, "more action" was even cut from this movie by the deletion of several implied battle scenes instead we just see floating ship parts in space. I hope Rodenberry forgives them then all.
