This no 'reboot', it's a BSOD followed by a reformat

Rating: 1/10 (26 July 2010)

Well, I guess now you know how 'real' LOTR fans felt when Jackson was done warping it beyond recognition. It's the same kind of thing, if you go into this without any pre-knowledge you might just be fooled into thinking this is the greatest action sci-fi movie ever. Reality is, your appreciation of all things gone before will be spoiled forever, much like the publicly loathed star wars prequels did. But at least the Star Wars prequels are quite universally ridiculed, Star Trek adds insult to injury by being hailed as a 'reboot', 'refresh', 'reinvention' of the franchise ... meaning, like with LOTR, the torture for old school trekkies is far from over ... and it will never ever heal. (just like there will never ever be a LOTR movie which will do justice to Merry, Pippin, Gimli (dwarf tossing .... really :s), Denethor and poor old King Theoden)
The only purpose of he plot seems to have been to get rid of all that annoying canon by a director that 'did'n really like Star Trek' anyhow ... well, that having been accomplished, prepare for some utterly insane new Star Trek sequels ... I bet it will be a wild ride.
