There’s no way the story line is less plausible than the last one.

I don't care if it's a bad movie. All I care about is the lens flares! Are there are a lot of shiny sparkly lens flares in this one? oooo!

This is Lou Lumenick though, the guy who called Inception the greatest movie of all time.

Seems about right, judging by the massive blitz of advertising when I dared actually watch broadcast TV recently. Every commercial break had an advertisement for Star Trek (though not one Iron Man 3 commercial..), and all I could think was: If they are blowing this much money on advertising, this has got to be a bore of a movie.

Or explain exactly why that defrosted villain levels San Francisco in what almost amounts to an afterthought.

This one plot element has me wanting to see the film just for this.

I've lost track. Is this an even or an odd Star Trek movie.

So now he has ruined Star Trek. I now shudder at that he will do to the New Star Wars movie.

Aussie reviews reveal that this is a remake of “The Wrath of Khan.” What a waste.
