I didn't like Star Trek (2009) very much. As a movie, it was passable. Stylish, sleek, nice special effects, but full of plot holes and contrivances. As a Star Trek movie, it was a disaster. In 120 minutes, J.J. Abrams managed to erase 40 years of Star Trek history. He transformed Star Trek from a thoughful and symbolic discussion of mankind's place in the universe into a special effects spectacular. I don't have much hope for the sequel, especially after seeing the trailer, which was just action set-piece after action set-piece. But who knows? Maybe Cumberbatch will come to the rescue. |
I have to agree on that. First time watching was a disappointment. I watched it again this year for the sound and special effects, stylish is indeed the best compliment I can give it.
My favorite trek movie is VI: The undiscovered country. That movie had it all. (unfortunately including some embarassing Kirk moments)
I wonder if we'll ever get a movie about exploring strange new worlds without blowing them up.
