R.I.P. Star Trek...

Rating: 1/10 (11 May 2009)

Poor, poor Gene Roddenberry. The great memory of the wonderful things he accomplished have been set aflame with one swift stroke! The only question that will always linger with me forever in eternity is who, I say again WHO green-lit this project and actually thought it was a good idea?! JJ Abrams has absolutely NO successful track record to speak of, has NO visual sense of cinematography, NO idea of storytelling and for the franchise worst of all has NO IDEA what the term "Science" fiction means! The so-called film is rife with laughable inaccuracies, absurd set designs, horrible makeup and costumes, pitiful so-called dialouge, and by far the most atrocious acting this side of ... well I honestly don't believe I have EVER seen such worthless attempts in my life! With the exception of the actor who played McCoy, this movie seemed as if it was made by retarded preschoolers (no offense to either mentally handicapped or preschoolers) I have literally seen better acting out of birds and roaches! The wanna be story had no general point and made no sense what ever, but the most appalling travesty of all is the total and utter lack of reality and the miss-use of "Science" all together! Mr. Roddenberry always stated and went far out of his way to make sure the franchise was grounded in truth and reality based on factual, credible science. Apparently ol' JJ didn't get the memo, oh wait he said himself HE WAS NEVER A STAR TREK FAN TO BEGIN WITH!! I ask again, who actually thought it was a good idea to hire this clown (and again, I mean offense to clowns out there by relating them to this sad-sac)?! OK, I originally stated that there would be spoilers in this comment, but I then realized why bother? To continue to pine on about the horrors of one the worst movies ever made and the final and ULTIMATE nail in the franchise's coffin would only serve to give some sort of obscene credence to what is ultimately a disaster on a scale never before witnessed in the entertainment world. If you are a fan of either the series or movies in general, I would ask that you spare yourself the misery and watch something, ANYTHING else! For shame, and a sad regretful farewell to series that has meant so much and has done so well for so long. I suppose not everything is meant to "Live long and prosper" ...
