Star Trek

**I will try not give key points away but don't read if you haven't seen it yet!**





Well 'Gutted' would be an understatement to be truthful, with over an hour to go in the film, I found myself looking at my watch. There was no substance to this movie what so ever. Characters are poorly built up with minimum if any back story to any of them, only to be broken at the knee's by a genuine lack of any real emotion through out the movie. As soon as some appears its thrown off screen as quickly as it came. If you don't make me care about the characters, why should I care what is happening in the film?

The plot starts off relatively good with a great opening 10 minutes, but as soon as you get into the thick of the plot, I found myself thinking what is it with this guy *J.J Abrams* and these confusing plot lines? I found myself getting annoyed because I wasn't quite catching onto what was happening, they never went to any real length to explain what was going on. I'm sorry if I'm not a maths professor but seriously come on Abrams, a nice little plot line with enough emotional tugs and character depth isn't toooo much to ask for ... is it?
Maybe this is what Hollywood is doing now, maybe if we confuse the audience enough and throw in enough special effects they will believe they seen a good movie. Well no that just doesn't wash...not one bit.

Altogether brilliant special effects, brilliant cast/acting, but just nothing to back it up at the end of the day. Nothing to keep me interested. Just scene after scene of pointless going on's with bad guys jumping in and out every now and again. They didn't even do a good job with them, I didn't hate the bad guys, I found myself thinking...well do what use want...I'm past the point of caring. I mean writing a bad guy is the easiest bit! 'Mustache, black hat' and your set!...sadly Abrams didn't get that memo!


Overall such a let down, there is a good story in their somewhere but was lost somewhere along the line, I tried so hard to like this film but Hollywood 'Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me' well the shame is all on you Hollywood, stop churning out glittery special effects and maybe write a plot once and awhile.
