Hey, what did you expect, it'd odd numbered

Rating: 6/10 (19 May 2009)

Star Trek: I've seen all the TV shows and all the movies. The one is a good starting point to get the new series rolling again in much the same way Star Trek, The Motion Picture did in 1980.
If you'll notice above I said this review MAY contain spoilers. I can't be sure because in order to give away a plot point there would have to be a plot and there's not much of one here. Something about space ships and time travel and some guy who's real mad about something.
Cast: They did a good job of matching new young actors to old established characters. However it seems to me that there's something wrong with that. We're trying to get someone to play a role as an actor playing a character, rather than an actor playing a role.
Writing and plot. Not much of a plot, it might get in the way of the CGI.
Dialog and scenes were OK, but things like Spock smooching with Uhura on the transporter was way out of character and it almost made me sick to my stomach. And not only that, Scotty didn't say "Captain, I canna change the laws of physics"
Special effects and CGI: That's the idea, isn't it?
Overall: Not bad given the constraints the director had to work under. I give it a 6/10. But let's face it, it's odd numbered it can't be any good.
