Reboot Epic Fail

Rating: 3/10 (11 September 2013)

I am going to try and write a review without giving too much away for those who have not yet sat through this lifeless reboot.
Having literally grown up as a defacto member of Star Fleet I was very disappointed in this JJ ABRAMS concoction. While realizing that we are nearly a half century since we first encountered ST cruising the galaxy dealing with new life forms and civilizations and our own human frailties and virtues and there would be needed changes and adjustments.
The core of ST has always been the cohesion of the crew...the fact that we as associate members of Star Fleet could identify with the crew and share what was happening on screen. This newest installment takes liberties with the script. I remind you that I am trying to give input without spoiling . There is the need to build upon the past but not to take bits from the scripts and just flip them around ..we needed new story lines not revamped works. I agree that after Nero ST needed to develop a villain that could get some mileage....this was achieved in this movie but without the energy and conviction of ..lets say Khan from ST2. The franchise is not junked and can recover in the next installment but we need to care about the crew as much as the story line. Zach Quinto is too robotic as Spock. He is lacks the subtle human projections that were key , in Nimoy's creation, that built allowed the friendship to be build between Kirk and McCoy.
Until Quinto can bring this to his work...ST will fall flat.
