Absolutely disgraceful mockery of Star Trek

Rating: 1/10 (20 May 2013)

Star Trek was about character development and always a voyage of discovery with a positive message, boldly going, etc. All I can say is that Gene Roddenberry would be turning in his grave at this dumbed-down, Homer Simpson mentality mockery of his Star Trek.
JJ Abrahms should be tried with treason for this mess. Without giving any spoilers I can summarize the movie this way: Lots of distracting lens flares (WHY does JJ Abrahms think that is cool - it's BAD camera work), a completely different turn of events, and the whole Star Trek "universe" sabotaged in one fell swoop, leaving nothing recognizable of the original franchise. Perhaps this was purposeful, but the end result is a movie, that is so full of plot and scientific holes that only children under the age of 10, or dumb Americans loaded up on meds could not see through the gross flaws. You have to have a very low IQ to like this movie. Very bad job Mr Abrahms. You should not be allowed anywhere near this franchise every again.
The one thing I will say positive is Karl Urban's portrayal of Dr McCoy. Brilliant homage to Deforest Kelly, the movie's ONE and ONLY positive. Chris Pine as Kirk was just PAINFUL. He made Kirk unlikeable and moronic. The rest of the cast were horrible too, even Simon Pegg as Scotty (who I like as an actor) was hideous in the role. And Spock? Let's just not go there. Terrible. This is just not Star Trek - period. Actually, it's not really ANYTHING unless you are a moron.
