Boldly going nowhere but will be OK next time... apparently

Rating: 4/10 (18 May 2013)

I have just had the misfortune of spending 25 Quid to watch the Starship Enterprise ethos raped in 3D by a bunch of producers scriptwriters and other low caliber Hollywood executives so devoid of bold ideas that the only place they could search for inspiration was up each others asses. This is a film in which the last scene should have been the first. Instead the scene is used as an apology and promises it will do the right thing next time. It suggests that order has been reinstated and it will be boldly going somewhere next time. By why not this time? why was it necessary to pick the skeleton of a million other action movies and turn Star Treck into a predictable good guy discovers treachery inside the firm movie. A thousand plots on the banking system would have made a better story than this. Why does the crew of the Enterprise go around shooting like they are LA cops and why does Spock has to have an action sequence when a simple grip of the upper shoulder has always been adequate to maintain his superior power. Meddling with the DNA of any brand is a dangerous avenue and when seemingly intelligent decision makers see it fit to use 9/11 as an appropriate way to provoke sentimentality or even attempting to Americanize the context of Enterprise then you know that these guys can only ever look for ideas up their own asses, because clearly their brains are devoid of intelligent thought.
