Strong on action weak on plot

Rating: 2/10 (23 May 2013)

I saw this yesterday afternoon and was really looking forward to it but was very disappointed by this film. The film lacked the story line of the first and like so many sequels that to come out of Hollywood relied on hyped up action and loud bangs to cover a very week plot...why do film makers always do this, yes action is important within films such as this but this should there to support and complement a good plot. When I watched the first I really had to concentrate on in order to understand what was going on and I also did feel for the characters, in this film I almost fell asleep and by the end I really did not care who won. The ending of this film does however does leave the way open for a another sequel that can only be an improvement on this travesty. Gene Rodenberry must be spinning in his grave.
