why all the trekkie hate

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2013)

first off i consider myself a trekkie i own all the prime universe movies as well as 09's reboot and love most all but a couple of the shows what is baffling is all the trekkie hate for this movie i feel it is on par with the film for which it draws inspiration i will shortly make note of the more common claims which are understandable but trivial 1. "too much action" i have found myself at when i watched the 09 movie saying this but after consideration this is not so much of a big deal now would i want a balance of terror type star trek movie sure id love it but it wouldn't sell as they are two different generations balance of terror people had games like battleship now we have games like cod and halo 2. "Abrams ruined star trek" this one's confounding as i love the idea of a alternate universe lets face it star trek can only go so far in the future before it gets silly he has breathed new life in trek and if you don't like where he's going watch st IV on a nuclear vessel 3 "nonsensical plot" i don't know about you but the plot i found was very consistent with trek lore and the new alt universe in fact more so than 09 now for the review cumberbatch gives an amazing performance as john Harrison and Alice eve a solid performance as carol Marcus ,as always the crew of the enterprise does a stellar job as with last go round the effects are awesome and this time they do bump up most of the crews roles so its not a kirk Spock male romance this time thought they do still get a lot of screen time scotty gets his shots in and urban i think did a better job as bones though i am a bit partial as bones was my favorite character and Uhura becomes the latest in a line of strong recent cinema female characters joining Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts as i said with the plot very consistent with trek lore and fitting with the new alt universe action was well paced and looked great and abrams even threw in a rather furry reference for tos fans the future looks very bright for star trek if abrams keeps this up
