Another disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (20 June 2013)

Another typical star trek movie. Great special effects; not always the most realistic, but as with the rest of the movie industry, it's getting better. Star Trek has always had weak plots, which become predictable half way through the movie. This is no different.
The biggest disappointment is the weak story. I absolutely hate movies where you as the viewer are smarter than the characters. SPOILER! the last 20 minutes is about trying to capture Khan because only his blood can keep Kirk alive. OMG!!! Only Khans Blood??? He was one of 73 super humans. He was on the run (kill him if you can!) Where were the other 72 super humans? Comatose in a bunch of torpedo tubes 2 feet away. You can't get any blood from them?!?!?! Why is Khan's blood better than a bunch of sleeping prisoners who can't even say 'no' let alone fight to not get their blood drawn.
After that the movie became a big fat ZERO. I only give it a 5 because of the first hour. Unfortunately the Star Trek movies have mostly been let downs. Only two movies out of the numerous made are even work seeing again. The Wrath of Khan (best Star Trek movie ever, by a long shot) and The Voyage Home (because of the humor). Other than that snore....
