Not boldly going anywhere

Rating: 5/10 (2 June 2013)

I LOVE the Star Treks. I also loved the reboot in 2009. It was original. It was fantastic. The only Trek movie in its class was the second. This movie was not for the fans. That sums up my frustration with this film. If you know the franchise this movie will confound and, ultimately bore you.
If you are new to Star Trek, which they must be betting on, this movie will be an awesome and astounding experience.
Of all the movies that have snubbed the fans; of all the Trek actors that have hurt the ones who love them. This film is the most heinous act of fan hatred the genre has ever known.
I can see the producers now, "This film will expose Star Trek to a whole new audience!", and they are right. The problem is that they are ignoring the hand that feeds them.
I am personally sorely disappointed the writers, producers, and director didn't have the courage to stay true to the original and creative path they blazed in the first Trek of the reboot in 2009.
Shame on you Abrams! The franchise deserved better.
