I am about to give up on the future ST movies

Rating: 1/10 (13 February 2014)

I was really looking forward to this movie. About 20 mins into it it started seeming too familiar. When Kirk first asked the antagonist what his name was, all I kept thinking was "please don't say it, please don't say it", but of course he said it. The SFX are good, the direction & development of the characters is interesting so far. However my main complaint is the rehashing of the old TV shows. I am not a fanatic that believes in the "purity" or whatever it is called, I have no problem with the alternate time line thing if that is the direction they want to go, I have no problem if the actors want to give characters something new & unique in order to make them their own, But when I am paying $25+ for a movie, I think I should be able to see something more that seems to be just a shiny rip off & rehash of a TV episode. I am all for ST movies, but if they have any interest in keeping their fans interested, then they need to seriously consider NEW stories.
