JJ Abrams sucks all that's special out of Star Trek

Rating: 3/10 (8 August 2013)

JJ Abrams has managed to drain the life, the spark, the joy that was the original series, and to a less extent, the spin offs, and re-animate the hollow corpse into a blundering zombie of a movie.
Nothing original, this travesty could have had the title and characters names changed, and it would have been indistinguishable from any of a dozen sci-fi action movies from the last 4 years.
The awe and joy of a possible future, the thrill of exploration, the wonder of the universe is totally lacking in this film. Scientists the world over have credited Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek for inspiring them to go into the sciences, because they wanted to help create the world he envisioned. This movie will inspire no one but insipid directors and bean counters.
