I laughed, I cried, then I saw the movie.

Rating: 7/10 (8 August 2009)

I kid, of course, I actually liked this movie. Even though the story is absolute kack, the acting at times is stiff and uninspired, the sets look more like the background of Willy Wonka's factory than a starship in space, and the dialog was sometimes insipidly stupid, for all those flaws, this was a fun movie.
First of all, it's less a Star Trek movie, and more of a Star Trek spoof. Fans of Star Trek (like myself, yes I'm that much of a nerd) will find this movie absolutely hysterical. Unfortunately the plot is rather serious and over-dramatic, but who cares. I mean they blew up (SPOILER ALERT) the planet Vulcan, killed Spock's Mom, and crumpled up the Trek Timeline and tossed it out the window. It's like a strange attempt at DC's Crisis events, except they were too lazy to try and make it work. But that's okay, through accident or intention, they've made an excellently funny movie. From Kirk getting caught with the green girl to Simon Pegg playing Mr. Scott, this is comedy gold from start to finish. Sometimes it does get a bit silly, but then, the movie couldn't quite figure itself out from the start anyway, so once you've established that this silliness can go anywhere, it's time to sit back, relax, and laugh yourself stupid. er. Stupider... What?
