A mismatch of elements we all have seen before in older star trek pictures/series

Rating: 5/10 (17 May 2013)

While watching this picture i got the distinct feeling i had seen this one before.
I mean the action is good and the Special Effects are amazing, but the story was so familiar.
After hearing the villains name it all fell into place. This film is made up of parts of the stories and events of the following:
1) The TOS episode Space Seed ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0708447/ ).
2) The movie The Wrath of Khan ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084726 ).
3) And the 'come back from the dead' element of the movie The search for Spock ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088170 ).
They altered some locations, they changed some motivations and at the end they changed the characters in the Kirk-Spock death scene (Almost a 1 to 1 copy of the original from The Wrath of Kahn)
They even introduced the character of Dr. Markus for a possible love relation with Kirk in the next movie. (Dr. Markus was the mother of Kirk's son in the movie The Search for Spock)
All-in-all a very disappointing movie story-wise. It looks like they could not think of something brand new.
I mean, in the first movie they established that this Star Trek Universe would be in an alternate time-line. This could have been exploited to go in to a whole new direction with adventures not seen in previous movies or series, but unfortunately they had to stick to the known stories with some alterations and twists.
Good for people that have never heard of Star Trek before (If they exist) but just a re-run for the real Star Trek fans.
I hope the next one will be more original and not a rework of known Star Trek stories from the past.
I gave it 5 out of 10 mainly for the Special Effects and the Action, but if i had to judge on the story alone, i would have given it just 2 out of 10.
