dumb and repetitious

Rating: 4/10 (8 June 2013)

I guess this new Star Trek if for those who no nothing about the TV series or the older movies. We who are ready know these characters and know what they would do and did aren't supposed to pay money to see this ridiculous rendition of the classic, unforgettable Star Trek with Shatner, Nimoy and Kelley. And yet this movie dovetails itself into everything thing people like me know about the old show. They say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery well this movie imitates a lot but does flatter anyone. In fact there was so much imitation that there's no movie at all just an endless series of "Oh we're going to die moments" sandwiched in between bad dialog and dumb over the top acting. I didn't care for the first Star Trek because didn't believe that any of the actor embodied the crew of the Enterprise that does double for this movie. This movie was so bad I was bored and kept hoping the entire time that this movie would be over.
