Not a very good addition to the Star Trek Galaxy

Rating: 2/10 (5 May 2009)

Even though this is a reboot, similar to what was done with BSG, this one does not pull it off. Feels more like Die Hard in space. Hopefully this director, who stated he never saw any of the Trek series, gets in gear for the sequel (we know there will be one), and keep it true to the original, but with a 21 st century style. And lose the stick-shift that's a rip-off from GalaxyQuest. Looks silly in this movie. However, The actor playing Spock did a good job. Perhaps, if they used a CGI of Shatner from his earlier works and used that instead of the lead, might have been interesting. Story is weak, but then so was the first Star Trek movie.
