Trekked Right Out The Door

Rating: 1/10 (10 September 2013)

This movie was so painful to watch, I trekked right out of the theater just barley half way through. I grew up with Star Trek, and anyone else who grew up with it will have a hard time sitting through this garbage. Abrams has taken every liberty possible to create some warped idea of what he thinks Star Trek should be. He gives no devotion to the original series and insults the intelligence of all who venture to his films, not just Star Trek. Abrams should be banned from making movies ever again. I'm not sure who he thinks he is, but original and creative, he is not. His works are adolescent at best. His characters are little more than the same. Speaking of adolescent, Christopher Pine portrays Kirk as an over indulged, spoiled brat of a punk teenager, and destroys the suave, confident and capable character made by William Shatner. Abrams' attempt to make Spock more human and add romance to his character is outrageous and ridiculously unnecessary. The entire cast tries hard to portray the original crew, but fall hard on their faces in this mindless plethora of nothing but video game action and explosions. Again, special effects take front seat while story and plot fall far to the back. Thanks JJ for ruining my and so many other's memory of a great and classic piece of sci-fi history.
