A knock off! Well it's not so bad, they put a lot of effort in it, but still a knock off!

Rating: 5/10 (11 May 2009)

Positive aspects of this movie are:
-it looks good
-actors are, mostly, good
-sounds fine
-it's leave your brain at home ( for real you need to leave your brain at home for this one ) kind of movie
-makes me giggle, or was that the audience laughing influence
-it's called star trek
The negative side:
-story ( what story, there is no story. There is? Didn't notice. No, wait! I did. The horror! Now I need to have my memories suppressed, again, or I am going to suffer from PTSD)
-plot ( hahaha, hm, hahahahahaha, what is that, is it something like a hole on the floor things get stuck in, oh no back to the first point and PTSD )
-storytelling ( but that is just for small children, and this movie is not for small children, so it is really not important or necessary at all? Nah, why bother with it.)
-it's called star trek? ( why God why? )
So mostly it is not such a bad movie. But it has actually nothing to do with star trek whatsoever except on the surface. Should have been called Cloverfield 2 because it has more in common with it than the real star trek. I personally hate these remakes that just remake the name and the look but not the core of the original. After the movie I felt like I bought something ( cellphone, wrist watch, etc. ) but instead the original i paid for and expected to get, got a knockoff, a crappy replica. Yes it will fool me for a moment but I still got cheated. And when they say this is star trek for the new generation what are they trying to say? Sounds like an insult to me. It's like they are saying this new generation is either to stupid to follow a good plot or just to lazy. Character development is not important because this new generation suffers from ADD so they won't remember the characters anyway as soon as the credits are on screen so why bother. Everything must be dumbed down or their brains will melt or something? Hm, sounds kinda insulting. Wonder if the new generation will realize what the corporate world takes them for. Anyway, I have nothing against transformers, cloverfield and mindless entertainment like that. But does it all have to be mindless?? I hope not because I can keep my mind on standby for a limited time otherwise I think I am going to go crazy and need some kind of psychotropic personality correcting pill like most of the so called civilized world population.
p.s. sorry for so much sarcasm, or am I?
