It just left me frustrated.....

Rating: 5/10 (8 May 2013)

I I have seen movies that I loved...movies that I hated. But I don't remember ever being that frustrated when I left the cinema after a movie.
Maybe I should explain that I grew up with the original Series. Have seen the second movie of course I even read the book to it. The movies didn't need a reboot. And even more it didn't need a reboot that that didn't even declare itself as such. Why go through such length to hide the characters when it the end almost everybody already guessed who they are going to be. The moment the Name Marcus fell everything else was just to obvious. For some time during the movie I actually hoped that they would at least be original and make Khan the good guy.
At least that would have given the story and original spin. So in the end I just watched them recreate the 2nd movie, only without the closeness that hat worked to well in the original movie. This crew is barley getting to know it each. And switching Kirks and Spocks place at the end only made Kirks resurrection more predictable. It is not a bad crew but they need their *own* stories!
Plusside: -Cumberbatch: For me, he saved the movie, since he was the only one that really made me care about the character. - Kirk Spock: They are working on becoming the Duo that made the show to watchable. But they are not there yet. -Pegg and Urban: Great actors underused in the movie. -Uhura was at least not completely useless. -Nimoy! (Even if seeing him made me wish I was watching the original instead)
Minus: -What was the point of Kirk Demotion? It did nothing for the movie -Still too much Uhura Spock couple time their fight was just boring. -Why split the crew up so many times. After the first movie I was really looking forward seeing them work as a crew.
But the biggest Minus: WHY NOT USE the reboot to change things? What is the sense of making a alternative universe if even the dialogs stay the same!
