To boldly go nowhere

Rating: 1/10 (11 May 2009)

This film must be the biggest Pig in a poke ever sold. I've been looking forward for this movie since I heard about it a few years ago. An avid Star Trek fan for years i watched almost all episodes of all the series except Voyager(which i hated), and seen all the movies. I can i hadn't doubts about this film but I went in with high hopes because i respected J.J. Abrams, and my persona hero Nimoy was in it. This film has nothing to do with Star Trek apart for it's title. Only one positive thing it looks and sound great at times, but only at times. The direction for the most part is awful, space battles in the Star Trek universe don't look like car chases in Jason Bourne movies. The cast tries hard and looks good, but with the nonexistent story based on a bad and unimaginative scrip they can't do much good.
But the scene that got me in an uproar, and got me almost running out of the theater was the one i saw a cellphone brand in the car young Kirk drives. Corporatons and marketing have nothing to do in Star Trek, they have no place in the vision of the future of humanity Star Trek offered. Abrams has Lucasfied Star Trek, but without the powerful storytelling Lucas has, so we just got a blockbuster with no heart, no imagination, and no vision. We are not going boldly where no man has gone before with this one. To quote another fan of Star Trek, let's just call this what it really is, "Star Trek XI - Transformers the Movie". If I can summaries my thought on Abrams and co in one sentence i would say "You Maniacs! You blew it!"
SO that are my thoughts. Only one thing remains,.i just want to pose one serious question. How come this movie is in Top 250? People you got to be kidding me!
