Star Trek is dead. Long live Star Trek.

Rating: 3/10 (29 May 2009)

In a nutshell: Go see it. It's not a good movie, but go see it. Plenty for fans and newbies alike.
Pay attention to the casting credits. Those people deserve an Oscar. The casting for the movie is great. They delivered a group of young actors that update the legendary characters with that balance of respect for the past, but forward looking. Their screen chemistry works. On that basis alone, it's worth seeing.
The visual effects are seamless. This is something we're coming to expect from Hollywood, but it's worth mentioning just the same.
That being said, it's a bad movie. Most of the Star Trek movies are sketchy when it comes to the story, the only exception being The Wrath of Khan. This movie is worse than most. The story makes no sense. If story matters to you, you will be disappointed. However, if you think of the story as random stuff used to fill the time between explosive action sequences, this movie is perfect.
