Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

He calls it “Star dreck”. How original.
There’s no way the story line is less plausible than the last one.
Star Trek Babies.
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.
Ping.
This one plot element has me wanting to see the film just for this.
Strange life forms, these younger generation beings.
Aussie reviews reveal that this is a remake of “The Wrath of Khan.” What a waste.
Abrams has turned Star Trek in to Star Trash.
Gadzooks! What.. can I say?
Plenty... it seems:
For a insight into the very small, twisted world of reviewer Lou Lumenick, let us let another movie critic have his say from http://www.rogerebert.com/festivals-and-awards/an-incident-at-toronto
If it were up to me, you would never have heard about the incident at the Toronto Film Festival on the morning of Sept. 6 when a fellow critic whacked me with a rolled-up program or a festival binder or something. It has been blown out of proportion. It is of little interest.
The incident remained private until today (Sept. 11), when a basically accurate account appeared in the New York Daily News. I suppose since it happened at a press screening with 500 journalists in the room, this was inevitable. Now it’s become a big deal, raced around the web, and been somewhat exaggerated.
There are always two sides to everything. Here is mine. The movie “Slumdog Millionaire” had subtitles on the bottom right side of the screen. I was seated in an outboard aisle seat on the right. The person in front of me was leaning over into the aisle, making the subtitles impossible to read. He is not short. Because of neck and shoulder surgery I could not look around him.
In my medical condition I cannot speak, I tapped him lightly on the shoulder, and gestured him to move over a little. He said, “Don’t touch me!” and remained in position. I tapped him lightly again. “I said—don’t touch me!” He leaned further into the aisle, as if making a point of it. I tapped him a third time, and he jumped up and whacked me on the knee with whatever it was. He sat down, and I defiantly tapped him again, not as lightly, but not too heavily, just to show I wasn’t intimidated.
There was a commotion, some people stood up and asked him what he was doing, and a person from the studio who was seated behind us across the aisle intervened. I gather there was a conversation with security, which I did not witness. He reentered the theater and took the studio person’s seat. His seat was taken by someone who had been standing in the rear of the theater. No more problems.
Rumors spread swiftly. I began getting e-mails asking if someone had “beat me up.” I was eventually contacted by the Daily News, and told them I had no comment, apart from verifing that their account was truthful. This whole matter was embarrassing, because it drew attention to me and invited pity, which makes me cringe. My wife, Chaz, did not witness this. Her reaction when she heard: “I’ll get a no-neck guy from the West Side to break his knees.” Just rhetorical, I trust.
I think the guy was wrong. A film critic of all people should be respectful of the sight-lines of fellow audience members. But in one way I feel sorry for him. He had no idea who was behind him when he smacked me. Now it looked like he was picking on poor me. I have had my problems, but I promise you I am plenty hearty enough to withstand a smack, and quite happy, after the smack, to tap him again. I had to see those subtitles. There was no pain. The incident is over. Peace.
It seems life would imitate art way better if Roger... had mastery of the Vulcan Nerve Pinch--
Well, in my day we would have had Roger kick Lou... right in his steel balls.
I thought the last one completely Sucked.
The ridiculous so-called “plot”, The lousy special effects, The HORRIBLE sets, The lens flare EVERYWHERE, The new Scotty, Sulu, Spock, The lens-flared Apple store bridge, The Budweiser Brewery engineering (I swear i saw a cinder block wall..)
Almost everything about it except maybe the casting of Bones.
“J.J.” is a HACK
I’ll probably wait for this one on Blu-ray come this August.
Worse than “Final Frontier” and “Nemesis” it seems.
I was really nice of the reviewer to inform me that Admiral Pike Dies.
ugh
