very disappointing and bewildering

Rating: 2/10 (22 May 2013)

I really couldn't wait to get out of there. I am a Star Trek fan from the original, emphasis on the word 'original', TV series and found the first remake in this series enjoyable, but this was just abysmal. Simon Peggs Scottishness just drove me up the wall - of course, he is not actually a Scot. The constant attempts at humour became nauseous - this is not supposed to be a comedy, but it bordered on it at times. The constant bam bam bam fisticuffs ridiculous. The throwback to an earlier Star Trek movie a first-order groan inducer. I really have no idea what the hell this was all about. I truly despair. There is so much great scifi material out there and these guys have to rehash and rehash. Please give us something original and exciting and thought-provoking. This definitely was not it. I am being generous giving it 2 out of 10.
