Trekkies rage LOL !

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2013)

Star Trek fans, they are hilarious. So much hate towards details, so much far-fetched criticism, it shows most of them had decided to hate it before even seeing it. The biggest complains seem to be the negation of the old series and the missing of Gene Roddeberry's philosophical and social points. How can you make new generations discover a story and expect them to take in account an 80-episode (first story only!) long back-story from decades ago ? It doesn't work like that. I am a 33y old man, and even I was too young to clearly remember it all. You have to let go of those things and start over, something JJ Abrams did in a fantastically thrilling and entertaining way. Into Darkness supposedly misses Gene Roddenberry's points about building a better world and similar topics. Most Trekkies' hate was so focused on this they missed the fact that some of the man's other favored themes were chosen to star in this film; friendship and sacrifice. It doesn't matter if some characters were interchanged for the remake of some iconic scenes, it doesn't matter if fan's extensive knowledge of the series forbids them to believe a starship can "go on certain terrain". If you like science fiction, action, a good movie and Benedict Cumberbatch's voice, hurry up and watch this roller-coaster ride !! 10/10
