Good, but not Trek good...

Rating: 6/10 (21 December 2013)

This film is very exciting; there is lots of action, a seemingly unbeatable villain, and a story that is some-what buyable. So to a modern movie-goer this film may score a 7 or 8.
However, many people watching this movie will be Trekkies, and because of this they will see the gaping plot holes, the blatant copying of previous movies and the issues with technology which Abrams cannot now get out of.
The film is good for the most part, but if you are a Trekkie, then prepared to be disappointed. This film carries nothing of what made Star Trek great, there is no questioning of existence, no moral and philosophical questions that will make the film live on indefinitely. This film is good to watch, but it is far from memorable, I can only hope that this generates enough of a fan base to bring Trek back to TV, the REAL Trek that is.
