Star Trek

This is how you ruin Star Trek. Gone are the philosophical questions and the musings on social/political issues, which are the makings of good science-fiction. Instead, the film goes overkill on the special effects –probably hoping it will distract the audience away from the horrendous plot. This is Star Trek for the Michael Bay crowd. What the film lacks in ideas it tries to make up for with excruciating postmodern homages and winking at the audience. The film doesn't even take itself seriously. It’s like a two hour long in-joke made by people who think they’re too cool for Star Trek. Basically, this movie is Star Trek lobotomized.
