Indiana Jones disguised as Star Trek

Rating: 7/10 (1 September 2013)

I agree with the critics of this film. It could be any run of the mill Sci Fi actioneer. It is. If you didn't know what it should be you can enjoy it for what it is. All the scenes, all the action is very familiar and seems to me to be copied from other films - like Indiana Jones. There is humour - Scotty in particular. The villain is believable. But lots of the action isn't. There are lots of plot holes. What it lacks is anything new. Even the idea of the future is ordinary. So basically its just a sequence of bangs and explosions and fights and far too many "we have 30 seconds till we all die" countdown events. Even the ending was easily predictable. 7 cos of course its well made but as a Star Trek film I might give it 5.
