Star Trek has left the building

Rating: 7/10 (29 May 2013)

I was happy to see the close tie-ins with previous Star Trek TV and movie productions. The spirit of most of the characters remains intact. The humor is mostly good. However, I do not recall the original Star Trek (or subsequent movies) having so much bad language. Have we really reached a point where everyone thinks that cussing adds anything to a movie? Does Hollywood believe that movies must have bad language to appeal to the public? We are not all operating in the gutter. Most people are not routinely cussing out their friends and people they meet. Personally, my wife and I and our family and friends would go to many more movies if they were a little less trashy. We want more solid content and a little less of impossible situations and people yelling cuss words. This movie sinks to a new low for family entertainment. I cannot recommend it to my family and friends and especially to anyone with children. I cannot imagine exposing your kids to this kind of language. What are people thinking? Even though I enjoyed the movie as a whole, the studio has perverted the Star Trek image to that of low life trash people. We don't need this to have a good movie. You will lose a lot of viewers and millions of dollars. Where are we going as a society? (Obviously: downhill) Does anyone care at all?
