STAR TREK- worst movie EVER

[Paralus]

I'd think that a bit harsh as far as criticism goes. It has its faults - a lull about two thirds through, a time travel that doesn't quite gel and "Scotty" travelling through cooler pipes for no good structural reason - but it does work. Indeed the staw poll, taken from geezers such as myself afterwards, was quite complimentary. They, like me, after a bottle of red could likely quote lines from the sixties series in the fashion that others (and myself) might also retail scenes from Monty Python.

Much of the "history" of Trek has been written by authors writing for the "novel franchise" after the death of the original series. Even so the movie franchise was quite dead: spitted on the sarissa of poor writing and lack of conviction (the death and "re-birth" of Data in the what was to be final installment prior to this "re-boot").

Personally, I think it nodded quite well to the motifs of the "holy church of Trek" whilst attempting to re-ignite the warp core of a future for the franchise. This film guarantees the availability of dilithium crystals for the franchise even if at the expense of re-writing the character's future - or history depending on the viewpoint.

For God's sake Jim! I'm a doctor not an elevator!
