I Find This Movie To Be Offensive

Rating: 3/10 (14 February 2012)

I know it's been several years since this movie was released, but I've just now gotten around to watching it, and I must say that I found the movie to be offensive, because it ignores established TOS history. This is the kind of nonsense that drove the fans away and destroyed what was once a multi-billion dollar franchise. I can't fault the actors for this. It's the writers I object to for creating an alternate timeline without laying any proper foundation for it. And then again, who is gonna believe 20th century motorcycles in the late 23rd century, or creating a Spock with a love interest or killing off his mother. And then there's the matter of Spock marooning a fellow officer on an ice ball out of anger. The list goes on and on.
I realize that the writers and producers won't care about what I think. Afterall, I'm just a crazy Trekkie, but at least I have had the pleasure of saying how much I abhor this film. I will not buy the DVD; I will not recommend the movie. The only reason I give it 3-stars is because, while the story line was anything but Star Trek, the acting was credible, and I have nothing against those who were just playing the roles handed to them. Beyond that, this movie is nothing more than a cheap knock-off of what was once a very good franchise.
