Ginny, Steve, and I went to see the new Star Trek movie last night.
If you are a fan of the original series, next generation, or any of the follow on shows … you are going to be in for a major disappointment.
If you’re into flashy visuals and 90210 characters, you’re going to love it.
This “Star Trek” movie is not ‘based’ on the original Star Trek … it’s more like “Inspired by” the original. Possibly even ‘general concept inspired by’ the original Trek.
It rips so many of the established ideas to shreds it’s not even funny.
Yeah, the major characters are there … Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Sulu, Chekov, and Uhura … and of course the Enterprise … but the major themes that back up the concept of Star Trek are tossed out the window.
