Mediocre

Rating: 5/10 (19 November 2009)

I've never been much of a Trekie, so I approached this film with an open mind. All I can say is the Special Effects were incredible. At times the sequences moved a little too fast, so I was not able to truly appreciate the Special Effects. Now, with that being said, here comes the negatives. The story was lame. It did not have the same impact I had when the very first star trek movie came out many moons ago. Remember the Voager thing? It was really cool. This one had some crazy space ship that really appeared to steal the show. My favorite choice for the actors was Karl Urban. I was waiting for the famous "Dammit Jim" and I was not disappointed. All in all, it's not too bad. But in this case, great special effects did not make up for a crappy story portrayed by a bunch of unknown actors.
