great FX, disappointing dialog

Rating: 5/10 (18 May 2013)

This movie is indeed meant for IMAX 3D, because there's very little to it other than the FX. The dialog lines were so predictable, at times they made me cringe. Two of my friends (who are not "trekkies") almost fell asleep. With all the Marvel/DC Comics resurrections, the power of FX is running thin.
If actors these days add movies to their resumes based only on earnings, they're on track of leaving a terrible legacy ...
That being said, it would be unfair of me not to remark Zachary Quinto. I and pretty much everyone else found his interpretation to be the only one memorable.
I hear J.J. Abrams is in the books for Star Wars. I hope he'll tone down this Michael Bay-esque approach to directing movies (ie. please the studios, scar the actors - let them cry themselves on the way to the bank).
