I'm sorry, but I still don't like this film all that much..

Rating: 3/10 (16 January 2015)

Firstly, it doesn't "feel" like Star Trek. Okay, okay, you've heard that before from other reviewers, but here's why it's important to some of us: Simply calling a sci-fi action flick "Star Trek" doesn't make it fitting of the universe it is built around. The ship in this movie reminded me of The Minority Report for some reason - all white with light blue displays had an intergalactic hospital feel about it. Spock making sarcastically predictable one-liners were so bad I gagged whilst others chuckled. And Kirk being a martial arts expert with a teenage angst attitude who never listens to the advice of his officers (even though he repeatedly asks for it) makes no sense whatsoever.
Also, although I like Eric Bana, what's with a Romulan covered head to toe in tattoos? I never knew they inked up before. And, to this day, I still have no idea why he's so upset with Earth.
This did not feel like a movie about a Starfleet captain or crew in the 23rd century, at a time when we've evolved beyond our petty differences and practically created utopia on Earth. This felt like...well, just another sci-fi action flick, and a poor one at that. I actually liked all the TNG movies (yes, even Insurrection and especially Nemesis), but this left a bad taste in my mouth.
