It was OK (spoliers)

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2009)

I am a huge Star Trek fan and have been watching it since 1966. I am also a huge fan of sci-fi so you'll have to trust me when i say that this movie was "just OK". I liked everything about this movie except the basic story plot which means the writers are to blame. Just what did I dislike? "A small group of Romulan dissidents travel back in time to get revenge against the Vulcans because one of them was late in helping Romulus avoid destruction". Logically, time-travel should have been used to go back in time to prevent the destruction of Romulus so that 6 billion lives would not be lost and revenge would not necessary.
And what is it about every sci-fi being centered around time-travel? This is one of the reasons why ST:Enterprise failed. On the whole, the story behind this movie is not as good as the ST:TNG episode "Sins of the Father" involving the discommendation of Warf to save the Klingon empire. In fact, many TNG stories are better than most ST movies. TNG is the series which gave us The Borg, The Cardasians, The Bajorans, The Ferngi, so why can't movie writers come up with anything new? I am hoping that time-travel in this movie will only be used to enable a reboot into a different universe of stories.
