The day star trek died

Rating: 1/10 (29 May 2009)

First, the rating relates to what's new in the star trek movie. The characters and elements taken from the original series are fantastic and iconic, but the rest of the movie is a mess and a betrayal of star trek's loyal fans.
There are sooooo many plot holes, that this thing is just a joke. I don't know how anyone can enjoy this movie without a lobotomy or a Kentucky public school education. I won't list them as I want to avoid spoilers, but suffice it to say that this movie has as much science in it as Kansas evolutionary biology class. And the movie is bursting at the seams with Phlebotinum (do a google if you don't know what it is).
Basically, they've taken the cool characters from the original star trek, changed them sufficiently so as to render them annoying, and put them in a weak derivative predictable story.
One thing they have done is made it possible to have new star trek adventures with kinda the same characters as the original series. But to accomplish this, they pretty much destroyed the last 40 years of trek mythology.
if this movie is any indication of what's coming down the pipe, it's just going to be another lame cashing in like return of the jedi and the 3 prequels were. This is most likely the last star trek movie i will ever see, just as phantom menace was the last star wars related thing I saw when I jumped that sci-fi ship.
