It's...different

Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2013)

It's safe to say that the 2009 reboot of "Star Trek" has little to do with anything else "Star Trek" related in terms of overall tone,though it does make some references to The Original Series-that's pretty much it.I think that is the main reason why many hardcore trekkies disliked this movie-they expected something more familiar and nostalgic and were disappointed whit this new approach,so the fans completely ignored the good parts of the film and instead started nitpicking.I read some of the negative reviews and I saw people criticizing the name "red mater",come on guys,if it was called tri-nuclear-gravitational-monocrappular- thingofapoop would you be happier,I mean,when was anything science related ever criticized in a "Star Trek" film.I mean no disrespect,of course,everyone has their own opinion.I am not a hardcore "Star Trek" fan,but I can see why those who are felt cheated,but,in my opinion,this movie was orientated more towards younger viewers,who weren't that familiar with the "Star Trek" universe.
