Mining an old vein for moolah

Rating: 1/10 (25 May 2009)

They got what they paid for: special effects, music, and acting. The plot is an insult to anyone with a brain. Seriously, the script is an afterthought. Orci and Kurtzman wrote it in a weekend, I think. They throw Trek references to old fans like fish to a seal, and their contempt for their subject shows in the way they treat their characters and story, which is utterly vapid. No THOUGHT went into this--aye, but there's the rub: thinking is just too much like work.
This coarse, base, sensually saturated, mediocre, bombastic product of an undisciplined, juvenile mind with its unbelievable, wantonly parasitic, anemic plot that is recklessly unfaithful to the genre, a complete waste of time, money, and energy, left me wondering; what is the movie's 'carbon footprint'? I could go on, but then I might say how I really feel.
