Rating: 2/10 (15 June 2009)

Background: I'm not a Trekkie, or Trekie or what have you. That means do not own any costumes, toys, DVDs or go to any conventions. But have watch many (not all) of the original series, plus some the moderns ones (not deep space nine) and maybe 6 of the movies.
This one - the new Star Trek - is exciting but on the surface only. It is just so that you are spared to think about the non-science, and My God, the tell-you-as-is-it plot, and eye gouging emotions. These points are the more objective ones, there are subjective ones like the character of the crew ..which are, to me, much less ..controversial let say.
The plot is of the type of .. "maybe the audience is dumb". It tells/ reassures like that of the DiVinci's Code - they make sure they explain all the sequences. While the science is the other way around - they make sure they do not use meaningful ones and just throw some terms out to impress girls and solve the plot. (Spoiler: Think of what would happened to Earth with that size of the black hole. And I am sure there's plenty of discussion on the time travel aspect already. Oh..how about that gigantic red matter when all you need is probably a fist full..?????)
Emotionally, everything is going for broke with so much on screen extremes - loudness instead of subtlety; hot blooded boldness instead measured cunning. It is fast and furious in space instead of the origins of the flying dark knights....if you know what I mean. And I quote Bones .."Jim.. what the hell is this mess!!!!"
What a travesty!!! Theoretically this 2 is probably the lowest I've given on this site. It should have been a 4 but the more I think about it...never mind, 2 it is.
