Yep..another cowboy movie

Rating: 1/10 (5 October 2009)

How come there is always a fair "balance of power" between civilizations so far apart...and species as well (humans vs those weird stuff) that there is actually a fight that lasts so long ?
Why isn't it like ... -Captain... we can see hostile behavior from that starship - OK...ZAP THEMd - OK, I nuked them, they're history, let's go on with our quest of virgin worlds....blabla
Why the enterprise seems to be moved by a steam engine (yep...lots of hot steam in that engine compartment)
Why after getting their asses kicked 1000 times, the federation didn't invest in some decent weapons system for their ships ?
I read all the negative comments on this movie, and was relieved to notice I am not the only one looking for a balance between logic and emotion.
It cannot be "logic = zero"
My preferred part was when spoke gets beamed to his planet to warn people to leave (they have no radio)...and finds his very evolved people worshiping giant statutes (how smart) and one of those statutes smashes one of those "super smart" oups...not seismic proof
Ah...and like always, you get some manly fight...different species...but kungfu for both....OK stop a second, and imagine a man doing kung fu to a gorilla...one would prevail very fast...nope...
