A decent action adventure film that uses Star Trek iconography

Rating: 4/10 (14 May 2013)

I guess I always knew Star Trek could potentially be taken and made into a Spiderman/Iron man sort of action adventure film. No true Star Trek fan will recognize much of what happens in this "Star Trek" movie. Spock is seriously blubbering towards the end when Kirk "dies" (he is revived of course). Spock also has a full-on romance going with Uhura!?
Simply put, this film is a cheap imitation of Star Wars (as in Star Wars without the substance). I am sure Abrams is going to do a better job with the Star Wars franchise (I am a fan of that genre too). That is clearly more his style. I am sure this will also make many tens of millions of Dollars, probably more than any other Trek movie because Trek can finally appeal to the masses. So what's the problem you ask? Nothing really. It just has little to nothing to do with Star Trek and so as long as they're willing to change the name to Space Wars or Space Attack or something like that I'm good.
