I want to share with you my thoughts on this subject:
For those who liked the recent attempt at a Star Trek movie and those who haven't and want to throw Paramount some more money you may want to un-friend me now.
The "pioneering" director and writing team have lost the plot. The relationship between KSB (Kirk, Spock, Bones) is forced most of the time. They virtually ignored the 4th most important character in Star Trek THE USS ENTERPRISE. Captain "bedhead" Kirk's hair looks like there was a support staff strike. Like the first of the JJ movies, it is a visually striking movie which only serves to hide the fact that none of it makes sense. I think it's is a tell that they haven't broken the first movies box office numbers despite the corporate prostitution that went on. Final word on it, it's an action film dressed up to look like Star Trek. Should have named it Star Trek the Sequel: the Search for More Money (Love you Mel Brooks)
