This movie could have whatever name you can choose for an action movie but happened to name it with an Icon name

Rating: 1/10 (28 May 2017)

I know before to watch this movie what type of silliness I would expect but it is merely a product with the right name on it to captures long time fanatics and to try to generate new ones. So the only things in common with the original are the names and characters; nothing about the script belongs to Star trek. Actually the characters like the Doctor and captain Kirk look more like cartoonish versions. Star trek is not an action story "per se" is more in the psychological human factors hand on hand with the advances of the technologies and the curiosity of what could be up there in the outer space saga. Sharing and learn stuff with other civilizations. In this episode is all about militarization, cold war; egotists, explosions and fist fights! lots of them! Incredible. The reactions of the characters are too simple and basic human responses. Kirk acts as a silly teenager couple of times.. Also the approach is "too North American" too "gringo" A very ugly San Francisco by the way. Could be choose to recreate a new city..
-Remember the big notice and commotion about the NY twin towers incident well, here you ll see half of S Francisco smashed by a giant space ship with thousands or millions of people dying and immersed in the ultimate horror in a devastated city...or dozens of the crew members (of course NEVER EVER an important character) dying in the outer space flying away from the Enterprise...nothing of that seem important; material that you can make several stories and movies about it but all was taken SO light.
The special effects are OK, so there s no over use or abuse of its. The Enterprise inside etc looks pretty good. The customs are pretty good. The pace of the movie is right regarding an action movie. The main actor does not look right for the kirk character is for me like this actor that does the character of James Bond in the lasts 007 movies.
