Star Trek: Reboots and Lesnflare

Rating: 3/10 (22 February 2019)

It's the year 2009 and Star Trek has gone Hollywood and in order to booster it's 'mAiNsTrEaM aPpEaL', the movie takes on the famous JJ Abrahms to deliver a neatly packaged, glossy production with lots of director trademarked lensflare to remind us that its THE FUTURE. Sadly, much like a porno movie, the production doesn't change the fact there's a lot of sucking happening.
The original Star Trek characters are back! And this time they're...young? And Uhura is dating Spock? And Kirk's a wannabe Starlord character? Also it's an origin story (because if there's one thing Hollywood loves to do - its origin stories).
The plot is bland, played out, and by the numbers. The situations they get into could be swapped out with any current sci fi action movie and it wouldn't make a difference. A number of star trek references are made to remind you why you decided to pay movie to see this. Leonard Nimoy shows up because...he does. Don't think about it too much.
This movie plays it safe. Its original star trek sparkle is gone. Even has a sci fi movie its easily forgettable. But that won't stop Hollywood from milking this reboot until they've they're defecating on Gene Rodenberry's grave.
