New Star Trek is a joke

Rating: 3/10 (8 May 2009)

This film was a step backward in the whole star trek series. A huge step back, and i am not just talking about the time period in the story. Here are the various problems i have with this movie.
1. The non CGI scenes/Sets - OK, you go from these very good CGI scenes showing advanced spaceships flying around to scenes inside the ship. You have the bridge(futuristic) to the engine room(Looked like a chemical factory), in fact, it didn't even look like an engine room on a ocean going ships of today. How exactly can you go from advanced looking sets on the Scott Bakula star trek on reruns today(which takes place earlier than this one), and then get this big screen production that looks like they spent about 10 bucks on the set, and they rented an old chemical factory for filming. and what about the scene when they are flying up to the enterprise from earth? all those futuristic ships hanging out in an old half moon Airship Hanger(at least thats what it looked like?) 200 years from now, we still have old crappy hangers? I can go on and on and on.
Long story short, if it wasn't CGI, it looked like crap, and looked like they didn't put any effort into it.... Scotty being shot through water pipes like Super Mario down the drain? Stupid..
2. The casting-- The guy they got for Checkoff, was forcing it so so bad, it ruined the movie. I know he was trying and i have seen him in some other movies and he did well, but not the right person.
3. Dr McCoy, Definitely, not good.
4. The chick they got for Uhura was good, and fit the part. Seiler fit Spock Fairly well, Captain Kirk, not bad, but with everybody else mimicking the original characters, why deviate on him? 5. The musical score, Guys, why in the hell do the sound effects sound less like the star trek movies and more like the 60s star trek show? they only sounded like that because it was the 60s, this is 40 years later, they should do better.
4. Overall, this movie was great CGI, no story bad sets, and bad casting. Hopefully they try better on the next one.
Some of the cheesy sets/acting ruined this movie. Hopefully this doesn't kill the series.
Bad, i cant believe the trekkies liked it.
