just another B action movie

Rating: 3/10 (22 March 2011)

Did not like this movie. Just a poor action thriller clone of the Star Wars fantasy opera, complete with finale hero award ceremony. Cowboys and Indians in outer space. Full of action and special effects, but juvenile with shallow characters that appeal to a 12 or 13 year old. But then the action movie industry audience is predominantly age 13 intelligence level. Movies like this are usually successful teen money makers. The special effects, and the Spock and Scottie characters just slightly salvage the film (to three points). The Bones character was embarrassingly obvious in his attempt to mimic Leonard McCoy of the original series. There are much better Star Trek films and series episodes.
