Good effects but nowhere as great as the series.

Rating: Null/10 (29 August 2018)

Star Trek is an unnecessary reboot in my opinion. JJ Abrabs is a talented filmmaker and it is easy to see his enthusiasm (he is almost like a fanboy giddily recreating all his favorite childhood movies) and rigor but the reboot and especially the cast will always suffer from comparison with the original TV series. Furthermore, although the film is interesting and gets everything sorted- in as much as one can in less than 2 hours- there is a rushed feeling to the proceedings. The special effects are good but we've seen it all by now, the razzle and dazzle only goes so far. The Star trek reboot isn't a bad film as much as an unneeded one.
