Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Grant Bullert "Star Trek" has nothing to boast about, but neither does it have anything to apologize for. It is a decent film and nothing more.-Analysis of Notable Work- *Writing/Directing: For those unfamiliar with the concept of Star Trek, this film can be a bit too much to handle. There is a lot to keep straight. Capturing the attention of people who do not love the world of Star Trek is not easy. Pleasing the fans of the Star Trek of old is even harder. The story is rather bland and a bit messy. Abram's directing style makes it even more difficult to watch. There seems to be a lack of professionalism in the storytelling. *Cinematography/Editing: The color palette and camera movements are relatively pleasing thanks to the work of Dan Mindel. However, Abrams' obsession with lens flares and canted angles take away from the otherwise effective cinematography. The editing is adequate. Nothing jarring or overly ambitious. The action sequences are easy to follow and feel well timed. *Dialogue/Acting: The dialogue has a certain nerdy quality to it that is to be expected in a sci-fi film. It does not ruin the film for casual viewers, but it doesn't make it easy, either. The acting of Chris Pine carries most of the film in order to help it stay afloat. Karl Urban's talents are wasted on a poorly realized character with little depth. Most other actors are average in their performances, but not exceptional. *Music/Sound Design: The score is repetitive and rather uninteresting. It does not heighten any emotions in any scene. The sound design is interesting and is one of the strengths of the film. It falls into the realm of sci-fi very well and provides an immersive soundscape. *Production Design/Special Effects: The set and locations are captivating and beautiful. Most of the film feels authentic and immersive. The wardrobe is less impressive. Much of the costume work feels uninspired. The special effects and visual effects are quite impressive, however. Nothing stands out as being fake or cheap looking.*Conclusion: "Star Trek" fails to impress in most instances, but it also keeps from being too disappointing.

dr-cheyno Skip to bottom for TLDRWhilst i didn't think this was a horrible movie, quite the contrary it was a good film, but a horrible "Star Trek" film.Just like in the hobbit, they have to introduce some idiotic/illogical love story. The Hobbit and LOTR lore basically elves and dwarves hated each other and would never, ever of fallen in love. Elves were beautiful beings, whilst the dwarves were not. In the Hobbit they decide to have about 4 Dwarves and the rest are basically small humans. Purely to fit this stupid love story.Same in Star Trek, Spock is more human and guess what? He has a girlfriend.. PLEASE!!! In the classic original Star Trek, Spock was basically incapable of having a girlfriend and was still learning his human emotions well into what would be considered his 50's. Imo they completely ruined his beautiful character and everything that made him Spock. Like most modern remakes, they do not make them for the fans. Knowing that the fans will automatically go to see these movies when they come out. They direct the movie at everyone else. Your mainstream society of movie goers that will watch any mindless dribble as long as it has CGI and a bit of stupid humor.I thought the actors done a fantastic job considering the script. It's not their fault most of the characters were ruined, they played their parts very well.I probably won't watch these movies again. But as i have said many times before. Rating this movie 1 star just says that you are beyond salty. Yes, it's a bad Star Trek film but as a movie it is still worth higher than 1 star. Again all i see is 1/10 or 10/10. People either love or hate movies there seems to be very few in between.TLDR Logically, i have given this a 6 due to it being a decent "Action" film. Whilst also being a horrible Star Trek film. 100% aimed at your common movie lovers that will watch anything with a bit of CGI, action, illogical love stories and stupid humor. This has become the trademark of modern remakes. They have proven to make more money as they are aimed at everyone rather than the fans that made the original movies/series a hit. Same with books. They ruin books by changing them into stupid movies purely ignoring the fact that without the original fans. It would never of made it to the big screen in the first place.

ellimic I didn't much enjoy The Original Series with William Shatner, but I thought this film was brilliant. How they devised the 'alternate reality' was ingenious as it leaves all of the original TV series' and films intact and is the writers way of nodding with respect to everything that had come before.I think it allows people, like me, who did not grow up with The Original Series on TV to begin appreciating Star Trek where just watching Shatners series on DVD would not give the same energy as it had.

Mo Naderi I really enjoy the Star Trek TV series (original, TNG and DS9) and admit that I am late to this review. As much as I enjoy Star Trek and its ideals I had watched Star Wars The Force Awakens by JJ Abrams and I hated that. Star Wars rebooted with completely non-plot for pre-teens and one-liners, wise-cracks and plot holes so big that even Donald Trump's ego could drive through them was not for me.So, anyway with a certain amount of hesitation I finally watched the reboot of Star Trek.... and it was as bad as I feared. Since it was expected I was not disappointed, but by gosh what is with the people who hire the director JJ Abrams? He makes every character a cartoon character. Never mind that the utopian and progressive society of the Federation is completely glossed over and ignored, but these characters with the formulaic backgrounds and corny lines and false tensions is just terrible. The Vulcans and Romulans' feud has never been as cliché-ridden I would say.Look, I get it. People pay for reboots and remakes and sequels and so Hollywood serves them up (or is it the other way around?), but use some imagination, have one novel or original idea at least. I am too old for cartoons... which explains why I won't be watching the next Star Trek or fifteen Star Wars coming out. Obviously the director JJ Abrams is specialized in reboots and remakes and sequels and not original ideas.
