Failed to impress me

Rating: 3/10 (18 June 2013)

I feel this last addition the the Star Trek legacy has no place among its original scifi counterparts. I feel that what makes a Star Trek film is more than just pointy ears and modernized cell phones and other gadgetry. Star Trek films display a great deal of cultural morality, hard decisions, and intrigue. Nothing new was added, but at the same time this film has distorted the name of Star Trek in order to make it a big seller. I did not pay for my ticket and sit down to see an action packed thriller with more death, life, disaster sequences than the purge or fast and furious 6. I wanted the real deal. I also feel the extra race(s) added on the bridge had little to no history or background and more characters that WEREN'T displayed (Cardassian, Romulan, Ferengi, Borg, Android, Betazoid, Holograms, the Q! etc) should have been. The next film that carries the name, if there is to be another one, must be much better than this to obtain my favor.
