Unfortunately, as expected

Rating: 5/10 (4 January 2010)

This movie played and felt exactly like almost all other recent Hollywood blockbusters. The characters are the exact same ones you see in other films just with different names and the balance of action-packed and plot-lacked is just as similar.
Overall the story was awful and basically destroyed anything remotely connected with the Star Trek as most fans know it. The action meanwhile was very good and the movie came very fancy and fast-paced.
Spock was done the best. He was most like the Spock we all remember while the new Kirk seemed pushed too heavily on the arrogant-American side. Also, a structured main character who is the cool, hard life genius that knows-he's-better-than-anyone-else is such an overused creation these days that if this was any other movie I might have given up watching it. A lot of focus was also put on Uhura obviously because the movie "needed" some sexual element.
I wish these Star Trek movies and shows would finally end. If it wasn't a "Star Trek" movie than I might have called this just an average action movie but unfortunately it was supposed to be a "Star Trek" movie, somehow.
