[Over]

This movie was awful. Am I really the only one who didn't like it?

Where were all the adults in the movie? Why were the ships run by a bunch of kids? Where were the defenses on Vulcan and earth? Couldn't a missile have cut the chain that the drill was hanging from? How did they transport onto the ship that was lightyears away? I understand that they had the equation to transport at warp speed, but that doesn't mean they can transport trillions of miles away. If that were possible they could just transport from planet to planet and wouldn't need the spaceships. Why was Kirk such a douche? Even as a little kid he was an asshole. Why did he want to wreck that car? Why was he driving a car from the 60s and listening to music from the 90s? I don't mind watching mindless action movies just for the sake of action, but this movie was so full of holes it was impossible to see past them.

They just kept it with its retro feeling with retro sci-fi concepts, impossible and incoherent physics, etc.

The bad guys were just bad for the sake of it: the mining ship was a huge one with menacing design, even the driller was all full os spikes just for the sake of it. I was always expecting a "mwah ah ah ah ah" laugh of evil, so that we had no doubts who the bad guys are.

Uhura was promoted because she was the only one in the ship who knew romulan language. But I wonder why, as all the romulans spoke perfect english. Whatever.


A red matter where a single drop created a self-containing black hole! Ridiculous! And Spock was transporting gallons of it in his little ship, I wonder why!

And in the end... That explosion to push them out of the black hole's gravitational grip... What a joke!

And finally, why did they change the entire timeline of the series? This now has absolutely nothing to do with any previous movie or show. They would have been better off just creating an entirely different franchise.

This movie was all about action, which is not Star Trek's trademark. That's Star Wars.
