I really enjoyed the original series and the Next Generation, but they too, had their plot holes and defects. And quite frankly, I stopped following the newer series because I had found them stale, boring, predictable and a bit too preachy. This was more action-oriented than other Trek movies, true, but I felt the characters were captured very well in ways that "showed" rather than "told" (A cardinal rule of storytelling). My wife especially liked the take on a passionate, feisty Uhura.</p><p>Everyone has different tastes, and I can understand old-time fans not liking the movie. Just be aware that there are any many who followed Trek for some time who really enjoyed this. My wife, parents and I all enjoyed the movie, for once a Trek thing we could agree on. (My parents found Next Gen boring, much to the sorrow of my wife and I)</p><p></p>alturisteMon, 13 Jul 2009 14:56:47 -0000
