Not exactly a glowing review, but probably better than what the film actually deserves. I don't know how any real Star Trek fan can
tolerate
these new films. It's like they've turned Star Trek into something
more
akin to Transformers - loud, cliched actionfests for a teen audience
who
can't pull themselves away from Pokemon Go. I don't really blame Star Trek. It's Hollywood.
I prefer classic Star Trek myself, but I think even the older Star Trek
movies tended to be more action-oriented and a less cerebral than the TV
shows. For instance, a couple of the most popular Trek movies were The
Wrath of Khan and The Voyage Home - IMO both a bit more action-oriented and less cerebral than the TV show. I suppose you could make a case that Star
Trek 6 (The Undiscovered Country), which was probably one of the more
popular Trek movies, was a bit more cerebral..
I suppose I agree with you, it's more Hollywood than Star Trek.
I don't know why they went back and started over with Kirk and his crew though.. I would have rather seen some more Star Trek continuing in the
Next Generation era. Even something between the original series and Next Generation would have been interesting. We have only seen the Enterprise B
and Enterprise C once each on screen.
