Star Drek

Rating: 1/10 (2 September 2010)

I actually have no problem with Hollywood creating these empty action movies with an explosion every 2 seconds and sort of a mind-numbing MTV boom-boom mentality. I just wish they didn't label it Star Trek. This movie is many things, but Star Trek it is not. The ship is true to the original Enterprise, and that seems to be where the similarity to Star Trek ends. Oh, and the guy who plays the young Spock is good, as is Bruce Greenwood.
This Jim Kirk is not a likable sort, nor is this Dr. McCoy, or this Sulu, Chekov, or Uhura. These Romulans seem to enjoy tattoos. Interesting.
I was not predisposed to like this movie. And it did absolutely nothing to win me over. It actually irritated me to run into these plastic imitations of old friends (the Star Trek characters).
I suppose the producers made a barrel of money here. But the movie is a steaming turd.
