Visually stunning, but not a Star Trek

Rating: 6/10 (6 May 2009)

I have been looking forward to this since summer 2007 when is was released on IMDb that this EPIC prequel/reboot would be coming to our screens in 2009, yet it gets better still, to be directed by none other than J.J. Abrams (to fans of Lost, well hero.) So a bit on the film, now we (well all fans of "Heroes") were more that comfortable with JJ's choice for Mr Spock "Zachary Quinto" is an extremely accomplished young actor and seems to be turning in to none other that "Philip H. Seymor" not in the way of a lovable fat man but in the form of every thing this man gets his hands on is gold, one of the few up coming actors I look forward to watching in what I am sure is many future films.
So that in true Bond stile leaves "Kirk... James T. Kirk" played by "Chris Pine" who to be honest we were all a bit nevus about. But to the surprise of many die hard "William Shatner" fans (also know as the Shatners) was more the willing to fill the boots of the extremely large prints left from previous leading roles from William and Patrick. Chris, he just fits in, perfectly it almost seems that he is the "Daniel Crag" to Star Trek.
As we all know the above is only half of any action/SI-FI film the hart lay with the bad guy, to this film know as Nero (for those Star Wars fans out there the Emporia, Dath Vader, Dath Mall and Sir Alan Sugar all rolled in to one) played by Eric Bana who truly brings out the childhood boy inside us (you know, the out who pretends he hates big guns and sexy ladies in films but truly, he loves them) throughout his performance, the hairs on the back of the all the cinemas occupancies truly did stand up with the heroic trailer lie "FIRE EVERYTHING."
The film really is art on a screen, in the way of the picture looks amazing. The film is shot, in most quite well, bar a few "Michael Bay" moments with a running, bouncing camera but that's what we get for to many people following the ways of the seeming God of film Quentin Tarantino (But back to the CGI.) I honestly don't know what else to say then it is extremely good I mean if you remember back to Spider-man 3 when we all saw the transformation of the Sandman for the first time and it was CGI at its best, I remember watching "Jonathan Ross" and he called that seen and I quote "that is art, really CGI at its best" it is the same with Star Trek, mouth watering picture the interior course of the film.
So this film in short has a phenomenal cast, director and one bad ass baddie and some fantastic lines like "FIRE EVERYTHING." and from one Captain Christopher Pike to a future Captain James T. Kirk "Your father was Captain for 12 minuets he saved 800 lives... I dare you to do better" and there are many many more especially from "Simon Pegg" aka Scotty. So the question I have tried to ask and I guess am now asking you is, well ware did it all go wrong, its leaves you with the same feeling as Quantum of Solace amazing as your watching it but when its all over you realise that was it... it is over, ware was the climactic ending, then it hits you it was appalling the whole film was anticlimax, visually stunning but pointless. I believe JJ has tried so hard not to make this films ending all about the "flash and boom" and no story, witch I am all for but he seems to have forgot to add the "flash and boom" that is needed, it seems that the 2 hour film ends in seconds and there is no or hardly any epic Good vs. Evil fight that there is at any film (in some form.)
Out of ten i am not to sure ware it would be, but some ware around the 6 mark. So my sad conclusion is that this film truly is visually stunning, just not at all what it could of been... it could of been a Star Trek.
