Not Star Trek, Not Bad, but so cheesy it felt like a bad soap opera.

Rating: 5/10 (19 May 2013)

Okay so I love Star Trek but for the sake of this review lets forget about that because this movie (and the last) is not Star Trek. The plot holes are horridly visible and science has been pretty much thrown out the window. These are no sci-fi movies, they are pure fantasy with spaceships. You might as well have magic and pointy eared elves...er wait...
Anyway, as a stand alone movie it was OK. Lots of action, none of it believable even in its own context, and some horrendous dialog which made me want to kill both Kirk and Spock as painfully as imaginably possible. Don't get me wrong, the acting was fine, but the story was just poorly executed. I really didn't care about the character (good or evil) nor the plot. I saw Iron Man just a night ago and felt the same about that movie. They are both just hollow soulless movies with action thrown in and some big pretty girls here and there. I liked this a little more than Iron Man but not by much. I still didn't care what happens in the end nor did I care to see it. If the movie were to stop 10 minutes before the end I wouldn't have cared to watch it later and see the ending... I suppose that says everything. Rent it.
