I'm sorry. I had such high hopes for it, but that was worse than all the worst bits of every odd-numbered Star Trek movie combined. It had a sillier premise than the one about God, a less believable baddie than Nemesis, more gratuitous emo plotfuckery than every Nelix episode ever. And even the cool red blob was nicked from the Shakespearian one (

Sigh. Looking that bit less likely that I'll see XI.

Well I enjoyed it. The plot was better than STIV (save the whales) or STVI where Kirk beats up God. Visually it was good, the dialog while undistinguished didn't jar and the crew were all fun, even Kirk (though I would never have put him in charge). Hadn't they let the shiny new ship go to pot by the time of Classic Trek?

(and red liquid spheres are a JJ Abrams signature thing going way back to Alias.))

I've only heard good things about it, myself... but not having watched any 'Trek I'm unlikey to see it (or at least pay cinema prices to do so).
