"Re-Boot" is Code-Word for "We're Too Lazy To Bother Watching the Show"

Rating: 1/10 (1 May 2009)

And that's really how this movie comes across: a lazy effort with characters that have precious little to do with the originals.
Who knows if the producers watched the original. The result is what counts: Like the last Trek films, it tramples on established lore for no gain.
It does feel like the character names were stuck onto a random SF script.
Of course, J.J. Abrams once again shows his really awful skills as a director and indulges in the "if you don't know what to do with a scene, shake the camera" laziness.
The actors are uniformly boring and uninspiring and again seem like they were chosen without even bothering to audition them.
Overall, this felt like a super-lazy, perfunctory exercise made by people who were only interested in the paycheck and with the Hollywood hipness factor in having a "big summer film" coming.
