Set Phasers to CRAP

Rating: 2/10 (7 May 2009)

I am so glad they butchered the entire Star Trek universe to make a movie. Woo... Go Paramount such a bang up job.
Alright now to be fair, it was a good action movie and I did enjoy it good action, and really not too bad of a story. Karl Urban was absolutely terrific as Dr. Lennard "Bones" McCoy, Deforest Kelly would have been proud I have no doubt. I also believe that Bruce Greenwood was great as Captain Christopher Pike. And Let's not forget some of the incredibly well written jokes.
Unfortunately more bad things then good things. The Plot on top of not matching up with any of the Star Trek Universe and then completely destroying what Gene Rodenberry spent decades building up May he Rest In Peace. How about the Technology, "The Original Series (TOS)" used old and huge buttons for controls, these were all touch screens I mean seriously did they not learn their lesson when Enterprise was canceled? Let's also discuss Chekov he did not actually join the cast of TOS until Season 2, how did he suddenly appear earlier? Not only that Christopher Pike never achieved the rank of Admiral, in TOS, he was a Fleet Captain as demonstrated in "The TOS Episodes: The Menagerie Parts 1 & 2" and was injured in a training accident never rising above the rank of Fleet Captain. On top of that they did not keep up with the Star Trek Universe in how Kirk got his Commission as Captain.
I could continue but I think you get the idea. Still don't get me wrong it's a decent movie, but it was not Star Trek.
I have been a Star Trek fan since I was 5, and to be honest I can't believe they destroyed the franchise to make a new movie.
