Entertaining, but ...

Rating: 6/10 (8 May 2009)

OK, I was entertained. This film had good visuals, entertaining and well-introduced characters, lots of homages to earlier Star Trek stuff.
OTOH, the main storyline was pretty weak and derivative. I was reminded of the Star Trek: Voyager two-part episode "Year of Hell", but that episode was far superior, especially in the portrayal of the villain.
The most annoying part is that the film presses the reset button for the whole Star Trek universe (at least starting with TOS). While "Enterprise" worked pretty well at staying consistent with the later developments, this film just resets the whole thing without need.
Some details (spoilers): This is the second film in a row to have a ship ogg another (has this ever happened before ST X?). Of course the guy who does not make it wears a red space suit.
