Star Trek
Posted by martinteller on December 20, 2009
I enjoy “Star Trek” but I’m far from a “Trekkie”. So when I notice the heaps of fan service in this movie, I’m sure there’s heaps more that I’m not aware of. Abrams seems to want to have his cake and eat it too, throwing all kinds of bones to the fans while simultaneously “rebooting” the franchise with an alternate reality plotline. That’s fine for fans, I suppose. I don’t really know what they thought. To me, it was a very run-of-the-mill action film, lots of “GO! GO! GO!” scenes and other clichés like a big clapping scene at the end. I was engaged just enough to keep watching, but not enough to really give a shit. Sleek and flashy with a few good character moments, popcorn entertainment that doesn’t have much heart or soul (or thought) in it. And what the fuck… Winona Ryder? Why? Rating: 6
