New Star Trek is awesome

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2009)

I'm just astonished by the incredible number of negative comments being posted on here by "hard core" Star Trek fans blasting this fantastic epic movie with all the insane drooling hate filled babble that only they can muster. I've been a Star Trek fan since I was five years old and I think this movie was fantastic. You Star Trek fans out there decrying this movie for it's lack of political, philosophical and sociological commentary are every bit the dickheads that Leonard Nimoy called you on Saturday Night Live. You just cant deal emotionally with the fact that this movie is actually just as exiting and thrilling as Star Trek's greatest rival which of course has been Star Wars. In case you unrepentant nerds didn't notice Star Wars has always pretty much been considered mainstream entertainment while Star Trek pretty much has NOT. This is in spite of the great rating for TNG, DS9 and Voyager. Quite frankly, all you so called fans out there who hate this movie just because it has more excitement that your wussy souls can deal with are mostly just a bunch of nerdy losers just like Shatner made your out to be on SNL. Why don't get down off your sickening left wing high horse and just become normal human beings for once and you might actually be able to chill out enjoy this movie. You only know how to make yourself feel intellectually superior to others by emotionally puffing yourself up all the time with things that are filled with endless philosophical and sociological dribble drabble. The famous Star Trek technobabble, I'm sad to say, has also often served this same purpose because it makes you feel falsely like your somehow "smarter" than everyone else when in fact it doesn't teach your a damm thing that even really matters. Personally I'm happy that J.J. Abrams in this movie not only ditched the technobabble but ditched all of the other sociological dribble drabble as well. This isn't the 1960's anymore. If your want something with sixties like sociological perspective then watch the original series again until your blue in the face. Just leave the rest of us alone who just want Paramount to do whatever it takes to save the Star Trek franchise and who just love watching really great entertainment like this. This movie was as close to the original vision from the 1960's as your can get while still being updated for the 21st century. For Christ's sake it even still has mini-skirts in it and a whole ton of other tidbits right out of the original series and that still isn't good enough for some of you people who would still prefer that the Enterprise sets still be made out of cardboard. In fact, only real nerds would make some of the insane comments I've seen on here including a comment by one idiot claiming to be a fan and yet saying at the same time that he hoped that this film would bomb and not make any money. In case this one particular moron didn't notice Star Trek has had a VERY hard time for 40 years being considered any type of mainstream entertainment. We just couldn't afford another bomb out like Star Trek: Nemesis just so all of your "hard core" fans who want to stay stuck in the 1960's could still remain in your pathetic little nerdy left wing world. That's a world where the only "good" Star Trek is supposed to be something that resembles a political science class with an arrogant left wing, socialist/secular humanist professor who keeps babbling on forever until you cave in at last and are ready to take a copy of Das Kapital in hand and start you own new red revolution. The Next Generation had enough of that type of left wing anti-capitalist garbage and thank god it was all left out of this awesome and enjoyable re-boot. Thank you J.J Abrams for not cow-towing to all of Star Trek's wonderfully loyal "hard core" fans who apparently would have been happier if this movie had bombed out by being filled with two hours of boring sociological and political commentary instead of something exiting and thrilling for a change!
