While alienating tons of star trek fans. Too bad those abrams movies will never stand the test of time.

"While alienating tons of star trek fans. Too bad those abrams movies will never stand the test of time."

The first one was OK. I can deal with the time travel reboot. But the 2nd one was just a huge waste of my time. My feeling was the first one was "OK we need a way to have the new characters act different so we are not locked into TOS Canon so we are going to Time Travel and reboot the timeline."

Yeah it's clumsy and all but it still gives you a whole new way to write the new story line. But then they put that second piece of crap out and it was clear even Benedict Cumberbatch couldn't rescue that script and he is a decent actor and usually a pleasure to watch.

Khan was an ass kicker and a name taker and Ricardo Montalban drenched the screen in masculinity and asskickingedness.

Cumberbatch looked lost the whole time he was on the screen. Might have something to do with being a pasty white British guy.
