What a disappointment

Rating: 6/10 (6 March 2015)

I was for a long time really excited about the new movies. I've watched Star Trek when I was younger, especially the enterprise series and I loved them. I couldn't wait for the reboot with one of my favorite actors Zachary Quinto.
Unfortunately I was really disappointed. There was 0 depth in this story and the story itself was at sometimes cringe worthy. Like when Kirk had a severe reaction to the medicine (Although I found that whole part very stupid..) and suddenly he hears lighting storm in space and he wakes up, running through the whole ship towards the person who forbade him to be on this ship. I wondered, when he was taken to the medical bay, did somebody besides bones check up on him or even noticed him and thought: hey this is not right, he shouldn't be here? It just seemed illogical and very immature how that whole scene went. Considering he made a name for himself during that test. Same goes for the bar fight and he touches that girls boobs. That belongs in an American pie movie.. Some scenes felt very childish and off the script, like it didn't belong there or anywhere in the movie (especially the lame ass jokes).
My second thing is the camera-work. They couldn't hold the camera still for 1 second! Everything was shaky like the cameraman couldn't focus, even with close-ups. I didn't now where to look at and I've never been bothered with camera-work before (except for low budget found footage horror movie). It felt really amateurish to me.
After an hour of the movie I fell asleep and woke up half an hour later. I asked my boyfriend, what happened, did I miss anything? He said a few bits, but it didn't felt like it. I was back in the story like nothing happened. The last half hour we turned it off. My boyfriend already seen it and I didn't care much for everything.
The good things where the actors. They all did excellent and played their roles very well. I also loved the scenery and all the beautiful pictures of space. I am still going to see the second one from 2011. I always have problems with the first movie of a reboot. Same goes for Batman Begins, found it very boring, I was sleeping again. But the second movie made everything right. I hope it same goes for this movies.
