I'd like to take the opposing opinion TeGH.
I hate the new Star Trek.
For one simple reason.
"Child Cadets in Space".
Oh, and a plot that bloody doesn't make sense.
Really, where the fuck was Nero for 18 fucking years?
Just twiddling his thumbs in his super ship that waxed a DOZEN Klingon D7's?
The new Star Trek reminds me very much of Avatar -- beautiful, wonderous, an experience!
Until you start analyzing the plot...
The whole shtick of the ORIGINAL series played off of a trio of supposedly experienced (read as older than cadet) career military officers.
I saw none of that with the new Star Trek, except a crap load of kids.
And the scene where Spock brutally assaults Kirk? Would that have EVER happened in front of the bridge crew on a vessel that, for all intensive purposes, is a WARSHIP?
Gods, just thinking about the complete inanity of the scene itself insults my intelligence.
Good thing I had plenty of beer to watch the movie -- I was able to paralyze my brain long enough to enjoy the mindless explosions.
Then again, I did the same for Transformers ROTF.
