Bring Some Wine For All That Cheese!!

Rating: 5/10 (12 September 2013)

I'm still trying to figure it out myself but I just don't get the hype around this movie at all. One of the biggest things that I took from this movie is that I'm actually pretty impressed with how far and how much JJ Abrams has come cause this was nowhere in the stratosphere of his batman movies and honestly, it had a very big element of 'b film' to it... matter of fact, we couldn't shake the feeling that this movie really seemed like we were watching 'Galaxy Quest' all over again... Believe it
I thought the story was extremely rushed, very fragmented and often pretty goofy. I remember watching Star Trek (the TV show) as a kid and thought that this Captain Kirk was definitely a mismatch... Captain Kirk was always ...coooool no matter what... I did not get that same feeling from this new one.... actually this kid did nothing but get his little tail kicked in all movie long... I don't think he won one single fight
The 'bad guy'?... (Sure thing!)... certainly NOT intimidating... never was I afraid of running into this nicely spoken Nero... he just simply added to the cheese that this movie is filled with.
The cgi was 'Eh' at best... The original creations and/or creatures were 'Eh' at best... dialogue, 'Eh' at best... the only good that came of me watching this movie was that I can now finally say that I watched this movie.
Sadly, I WILL watch the sequel (Into Darkness) but more because I'm an optimist (and an obvious sucker!)... but I will also expect significantly less and will make sure to bring some wine for all that cheese
