Sorry that so many people here seem to to have missed it

Rating: 1/10 (14 June 2014)

I really loved the original series, and many of the other aspects of the Star Trek franchise. I'm amazed that so many people are willing to rate this at ten stars when it's pretty clear that this movie flat out sucked.
I'm not sure what else I can do but try to help balance out the rating a minuscule bit with my own.
It's clear what has happened. J.J. Abrams screwed us over with Lost, putting the plot elements on his credit card, promising to tell us what was really happening and then laughing all the way to the bank with his mediocre ending.
Now, he's merrily romping through Star Trek, destroying the continuity of a couple of generations and obviously possessing little to no idea of what it means to those of us actually over 30. Star Trek was, at it's best, an intelligent series. These two movies are simply an insult...
Next, fresh from his current financial victories, Abrams is off to finger-paint his way through Star Wars. God forbid.
And some of you here are cheering him on.
Amazing.
