Horrible, embarrassing, a travesty

Rating: 4/10 (13 July 2010)

Yes, as a die-hard trekkie back to the original series, I admit bias.
But let me say, through all of the years of good bad and ugly star trek movies and series, no movie, even that horrific Insurrection, so completely spat on Star Trek the way this movie did.
So, young Spock. Stole the show, and excellent job btw. So why did the writers have to make him such an A-hole??? I HATED his character! Stranding a guy on a frozen planet is normal punishment? That was very nearly a 5 minute death sentence, the real Spock would NEVER have done that! And oh yeah, we are just going to now BUMP into the old Spock! (In a frikken ice cave!) WTF??????? Is that your pathetic attempt to save the movie? Is there some unwritten code somewhere that to guarantee success of your Star Trek movie, the Old Spock must somehow put in an appearance somewhere? Blowing up Romulus... I just can't even go there. You don't completely destroy a major race in the Star Trek mythos, just 'cause your some jerk director who wants to do things different. That's called Jumping the Shark, and was just ludicrous. What's next, the Klingons all mutate into giant easter bunnies? Why does the futuristic Romulan ship look like a giant octopus? Do you not know what Romulan ships look like? Kirk? Again, A-HOLE. Hated him. Horrible acting job, and HORRIBLE characterization of the young Kirk.
Scotty? Ludicrous. Just get Lister off Red Dwarf and be done with it.
Bones saved some of the day, excellent characterization and excellent job of him.
Why, oh why, can you explain, does the ancient first Enterprise look way more advanced and super hot-roddy than the original series Enterprise, which comes along many years later? Hmmmm? Oh. Because the director doesn't give a damn. It shows in SPADES in this movie, and now, because this travesty, this mockery to the Star Trek mythos has been made, we must endure it as CANON, in all our computer games, books, cartoons, what have you. Yes yes, Vulcan get's sucked in a black hole kiddies! And Romulus blows up!!!! The director should be beamed inside a rock at the bottom of the ocean, which is where he belongs, for this piece of garbage.
