One of the dumbest flicks I've ever had to suffer through

Rating: 1/10 (23 January 2020)

I don't usually use the word "flick" to describe a movie but it seems appropriate here. I have no idea why so many people rated this schlockfest so highly. It is insultingly stupid; almost like an action parody of Star Trek. The story is ludicrous and completely disjointed, the characters act like morons 99.999% of the time, and the ending was a lame ripoff of a much better Trek film. The screenwriter (Roberto Orci) is a 9/11 truther which is probably why nothing makes any sense and no attempt is made to connect one plot point to another. Things just happen, the scene changes, and more things happen. This was the beginning of the end for intelligent, thoughtful Trek. Thanks a lot, Alex Kurtzman. You're a complete hack and I wish you'd stop ruining genre properties.
