Star Trek Nemesis 2

Rating: 3/10 (17 May 2009)

I just saw this movie the other day, and I was very exited to see this new Star Trek because the last one was very disappointing in my opinion.
I was shocked to learn that this movie was almost the SAME as Nememis! Same weak plot, and very non-Star Trek look and feel. The story of this movie lacked almost everything that makes Star Trek what it is ( or was).
Again some Romulan seeks revenge for his home-planet being destroyed in the future. Okay, in Nemesis it was not the Romulans themselves but one Reman, that used the Romulans. But hey, still one guy with a grudge that is going to get even by destroying the whole galaxy! Because he has a weapon far more powerful and advanced than any other weapon in the galaxy! This does not only remind me of Nemesis, it also reminds me of the Xindi plot from Star Trek: Enterprise. Come on, is that what you story-writers can come up with? Nemesis/Enterprise re-written?
Besides the 'enemy' being the same old sh*t, there is something else that bothers me. This is another 'time-traveling' movie. Why do they travel in time so much in Star Trek? In the series they used to do it once in a while, but time-traveling has become standard operation these days. Again Spock travels back in time, Again the enterprise has dealings with enemies from the future. What irritates me also is the fact that they 'abuse' this time-traveling just to introduce some technology that wasn't available in the 'normal' time-line.
Last comment I have is the sound. The movie was very loud, in an annoying way. I liked the scenes when there were conversations, just because those scenes were not so damn loud and busy. You don't have a clear view as a viewer on whats happening.
Good thing about this film is the cast and the acting. The roles of Kirk, Spock and the rest are portrayed very well, and that is one big plus. Bad thing is that the total 'Trekkie' look and feel is gone. Star Trek was always bashed upon by a great many people because they simply did not understand it. It was based on science they did not comprehend, nor understand. If you watched Star Trek, you were Nerd. But for all the Nerds, that made Star Trek cool. Nowadays you can be retarded and still understand this movie, and that is not a compliment.
