Utter Star Wars style cartoony rubbish

Rating: 1/10 (24 August 2013)

This is the worst movie I have seen since I made the mistake of taking my kids to see "GI Joe"! J.J. Abrams just needs to back off and let someone who cares about Star Trek to take it over. It could only be worse if Michael Bay got a crack at it next! The 'plot' is so full of continuity errors that I became enraged at it's grossly insulting stupidity. The mere fact that 35 odd years after cartoon sci-fi hit the screens we are still being insulted with space craft that need to bank to turn, energy weapons that have recoil, engine noise in vacuum and now, phasers that make a 'kool' slide racking noise when you 'chamber a round' proves how little talent and imagination the producers and directors possess. I give One star for Karl Urban as Doc McCoy- he nailed it. One further star for Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan- also nailed it. The rest of the cast were bereft of believability and totally underwritten. As one, they relentlessly overacted in their roles. The sooner we get away from stupid CGI driven shite like this and actually substitute good writing and direction for dumb punch-ups and moronic denial of physics the better.
