Roddenberry would have initiated Star Trek self destruct if he knew that is what they'd do with it.

Rating: 2/10 (5 June 2013)

I give it 2 stars, 1 for the production design and 1 for Cumberbatch. On Jon Stewart Abrams said he had not been a fan of Star Trek. With this movie it became glaringly obvious! Everything that made Trek the phenomenon it is, was washed away and replaced with Transformers level absurdity. And seriously, there is a difference between Homage, and the calculated lifting of scenes from previous iterations of the franchise. No need to go into the stinker of a script. These people should be writing for Lifetime movies. Don't know how to address a plot hole? Just showcase expensive effects, or insert clichéd throwback dialogue.
The truth is, they made money, not a Star Trek story. And that is all that matters. Roddenberry created a masterpiece of entertainment and thought. Abrams made money. I look forward to seeing Cumberbatch again in "Sherlock", stories where quality runs rampant.
