A loud dumb action movie.

Rating: 1/10 (10 June 2009)

The great thing about the old Star Trek was that even if the effects and sets were cheesy, the characters were interesting, the story lines were solid, and the science (especially in the later series) at least was plausible enough to not interfere with the story. This reboot reverses all of that. The effects and sets are interesting, and everything else--characters, story, and science--is cheesy and stupid. If all you want is visuals and action, then maybe this movie is for you. If you're looking for an intelligent well made science fiction film, then try renting Forbidden Planet or 2001. Don't spend money on this clunker.
