More Star Wars then Star Trek

Rating: 5/10 (28 May 2009)

I am a fan of the original series, so this one was a disappointment on many levels. They were a lot of trademark from the original missing for example interesting philosophy and hypothesis about outer space, Kirk is more of a pimp in the original ones and few more things like that.
I was expecting kick ass action with a script true to the series.
It was completely untrue to the what will happen next in series. Captain Pike and Kirk don't meet until much later in series. Uhura never had an affair with Spock. Chekov comes much later in the series. Kirk had a brother. And many other details like this that bother me.
I think it looks more like Star War then Star Trek. Example that creature with Scotty.
Never the less the action is good, the actors are good, the effects are good and it's never boring. But it will be frustrating if you are a fan of the originals.
I think the script and story line are quite lousy. And they did a lazy job keeping it true.
