Ridiculous and Nonsensical

Rating: 1/10 (8 May 2010)

I'll be honest. This movie impressed me. Never did I think it was humanly possible to cram so much stupidity and pointlessness into just 2 hours of filming. But I gotta hand it to J. J. Abrams, because he seems to have an extraordinary ability at sucking the life out of eager, good promising movie goers.
This is not a sci-fi movie by any stretch of the imagination. It is clearly a comedy, yet it is so shockingly pointless and retarded that I don't know if I should laugh along with it or fall asleep out of sheer boredom. When we think science fiction, we think intelligence. We think mystery. We think. PERIOD. To anyone who has any thoughts in their head, this movie is a drain on our spirits and our livelihood, and it turns its back on the sci-fi fan, and instead appeals to the stupid, clueless hordes of modern day American media consumers.
Instead of trying to follow Gene Roddenberry's vision, the makers of this movie crammed the screen with pointless sex scenes, pop music, sports cars, and special effects. Is society so dumb that they can only attend a theater if the movie is full of these types of things? Why did Star Trek become so successfully originally? They didn't need to rely on the sexiest, most flashy imagery they could use to sell fast tickets; Roddenberry created something original, something that made your imagination and intellect be put to use, something that made you think, and something that had brilliant plot lines with a script that made great sense, from start to finish. This new movie had one of the worst, most cheesy scripts I've ever witnessed, and the plot, whilst being somewhat OK, failed to develop itself one single bit throughout the entire film.
I can't honestly tell you what the point of this movie was, but one thing you can be sure of is that this movie was empty to the intellectual, the philosopher, and the free thinking man. Many of the scenes made no logical sense and were randomly put in place for no rhyme or reason, other than to take up space or perhaps to entertain the brain dead masses. The only positive spin you might be able to put on the film was if you imagine that it was a MADTV skit or an MST 3000 movie, because the directing, the acting, the plot, and the overall mood of the movie will only give you a lot of laughs and giggles with your girlfriend as you make out with her. It's one of those movies that just fill the screen with a sort of easy access amusement, that doesn't require any attention or effort to appreciate, much like the original Star Trek. It truly was 2 hours of wasted space. I give this movie a generous rating of 2/10.
