Nice Action Movie, not Star Trek though!

Rating: 3/10 (23 May 2009)

As an old Trekker I have to point out that the movie lacks the connection with the Star Trek Universe that Gene set, totally! I don't know where to begin. From the script, the directing, the photography? It's just not Star Trek. One of the worst modifications is the change of the transporter (beam me up) effect to an extremely futuristic one that does not reflect the era of the story. Kirk is portrayed as a reckless rascal that doesn't really care about nothing and nobody but himself does not obey any rules or regulations and is arrogant to his mates and superiors. If you also add the total lack of the scientific support, you will easily come to understand that it is not Trek. For all us Trekkers, is a total disappointment. For the casual spectator, is just an other action movie. For sure no Star Trek however!
