Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (26 September 2012)

The problem with this movie are the characters. Nimoy and Shatner in the original play were shining young, but mature enough to manage such a legendary trip to deep space. Here we see a bunch of teenagers; trying to look mature for the same role. And they failed. You cannot send a ship with teenager captain, it looks ridiculous. At any moment it felt like they want to jump on the bridge, catch a few guitars and sing rock songs, or have a tattoo party in deep space...No disrespect, but Chris Pine and Zachary cannot compare to Shatner and Nimoy in any way. Perhaps if the director brought some exact look-alike it may have succeeded. watching Zachary playing a teenage Vulcan and painting that serous look on his face is totally ironic.....I wasted 15 minutes and did not bother to watch further.
This is another example of declining quality in Hollywood.
