Where was the whale?

Rating: 6/10 (14 June 2013)

I'm beginning to think that studios pay people to deluge sites like this to give 10 ratings when they know it is a mediocre or lousy movie. It's the only way films like this could possibly get an 8.2 average rating. The first movie was very good, it was well re-imagined and the cast did an incredible job of capturing the original characters. Any sequel had to be worse because the big surprise of character recapture had already been accomplished. However, with the trekkie base as long as it didn't stink, you have a success. On that basis, this movie was a success. It was an okay movie and I'll watch it again when it hits TV. However, the script seems like the writers spent most of their time going "I got nuthin" so they simply recycled old plots, old emotions, and even old script lines from past Star Trek movies, with most emphasis of one of them. I understand the plot of the next sequel is that since Earth is out of dolphins, that the crew goes back in time to 2013 Oakland to find some.
