This topic is locked from further discussion.
I assume you're talking about the recent JJ Abrams movie? If Star Trek- First Contact is a 10, the newest Star Trek is a 7.5.
[QUOTE="Strider_91"]I'm guessing you mean the latest one?Aspen706Is there another one called just Star Trek ? The first one is down as that on film websites also, but neither are just Star Trek

The very first one...
That being said I give it a 4 out of 10... The man who played Kirk was nothing like Shatne.. Though I did love Karl Urban as Bones.. The story was extremely thin, there were extremely lame ass plot mechanics.. Like where he is stranded on a ice world, all is lost.. But Not to worry in a highly plausible impossible way the main character gets back on track when it was sthought to be impossible.. Yeah very original :roll:.. There are far better Star Trek movies.. Those being Wrath of Khan, First Contact, the original Star Trek movie, Undiscovered Country all were far better movies imo..
To me this movie felt alot like the Transformers movie series.
I believe I gave it a 6/10 as I found it to be a pretty bad film with only a couple of redeeming points keeping it afloat over a 5.
"gave it" Do you rate films on a website? Because i do the same, or just in your reviews? :)I believe I gave it a 6/10 as I found it to be a pretty bad film with only a couple of redeeming points keeping it afloat over a 5.

I'm glad to see that somebody else wasn't completely blown away by it. I was a bit more kind in my rating because I think it's impossible to recapture what they had with the original cast and writers.
I enjoyed it way more than I'd anticipated. I think I gave it a 7.5. It's quite enjoyable.t3hrubikscubesame for me

IDK see I thought Karl Urban was the best in his roles as Bones.. I just think the movie was trying to catter to the Transformers crowd.. Where a bunch of teens take on the world with large explosions, and extremely thin vale of what made Star Trek, Star Trek.

I do review films when my mind allows me to do so -- and yes most are at the review link in my sig -- although I usually don't rate them as I much rather have people focus on my words than just an assigned number. I usually just rate things with stars or numbers when somebody specifically asks me to and Star Trek rated a 6 from me.

That's a great description of what they tried to do. It really didn't "feel" like Star Trek.

Ahh fair enough :) Yeah i use Flixster, you give it stars and attach your review, good site if you needed something similar.. Anyway, back on topic! :)It was decent, but it did not compare to the older ones. Those ones had a much more enjoyable cast. :P The Voyage Home will still be my favorite one.Seiryuu-
Yeah First Contact and that one was great too.. I had one problem though.. THey made the prospects of time travel seem too easy to do as well as too casual.. Like take at look at the at "Back to the Future".. Emmet Brown spent his entire life, his fortune and what not to get a time machine.. He not only had to do that, but had to rip off some terrorists of plutonium something extremely rare and illegal to have.. And in the end it became such a risk the main character Marty nearly erases him self by accident...
It made it seem that time travel was not only dangerous, hard to do, but impossible that only one man can do it..
Fast forward to First Contact and The Voyage Home.. Both took it entirely too casually where First Contact they were at all "awestruck" at the premise.. And made it sound ok guys we are goign home just do what ever those bad guys did whoa re supposedly more advanced did to get home.. Or Spock who spends a few minutes doing a guesstimation, and just doing "What the hell lets do it!" thing.. Other then that they are one of my more favorite movies in Star Trek.
Star Trek made this thing seem casual and a every day occurence that more then just one person could do it in no time flat.

Whenever they needed to use time as the plot of an episode, all you had to do was, "Captain, I am detecting a temporal rift off the starboard bow." :P Anyway, I do agree. Also in Star Trek, they always seem to say to not mess anything up in the past, but they seem to anyway(like the transparent aluminum scene...though, it is funny). They make it seem so simple. :PIt made it seem that time travel was not only dangerous, hard to do, but impossible that only one man can do it..

It was like Star Trek 90210. Bunch of angsty teenagers pouting and acting like self absorbed douchebags. Ridiculous product placement from Nokia and Budweiser. Absurd use of the Beastie Boys song. Zero regard for science which is a real slap in the face to the original series. Utterly stupid contrivances. So, Kirk gets marooned on a planet and just happens to run into the exact same cave where Spock also happened to be marooned? Really? Pathetic. And there's no way in hell they'd be able to see Vulcan in that detail from another planet. Just have a look up into our night sky and see if you can pick out Mars or Jupiter.
Why does the deck of the Enterprise look like a Wii console and why does the engine room look like a bad cross between an 80s nightclub, a waterworks plant, and a submarine? Brass fittings? Really? Why do the water pipes run along the ceiling? Why are they clear? And why the hell would they have a hatch at the bottom of a water filled pipe that you have to stand under to open?
How the hell does a giant space mining derrick just fly up to a planet and start blasting away? The Vulcans supposedly fought a war with the Romulans. Surely they'd have point defence systems, capable of shooting down a giant metal arm thingie.
Stupid, stupid movie.

It definitely wasn't done with the proper regard for what Star Trek has always been about.. which is exploration, intelligent characters, moral and ethical struggles. It was made into a flashy, modernized, dumbed-down modern film.
I agree completely. That part had me facepalming.2/10
