Star Trek into Darkness is a POS. Real Trek fans chime in.?

What an uninspired, unoriginal, and ridiculous installment of the beloved Trek franchise.

Seriously, they were so bereft of ideas that their only recourse was to rehash the most popular episode in the movie series, and succeed in ripping it into incomprehensible shreds?

Are there no sacred icons in Hollywood anymore? What's next? Casablanca and Citizen Kane?

If you are going to rip-off a successful movie at least have the decency to make it better.

I shudder to think what is in store for Star Wars in the hands of JJ Abrahms. What a hack!

    I actually enjoyed the movie: I give it 7.5/10.

    It most definitely lacked three things:

    - Scientific content (Dead to sci-fi movies since Gattaca... much to my dismay)

    - An original format

    - A storyline of "movie proportions": what I mean by this is that indescribable leap in plot and character development that occurs when moving from TV episode to Movie.

    The perspective I take with respect to this movie, which makes it enjoyable, is that it played out very much like an episode of the original Star Trek series. I genuinely felt like I was watching what would have been produced if the original Star Trek crew got together to produce a 2hour long episode with modern techniques.

    Did this movie in any way measure up to my expectations of Sci-Fi? Absolutely not. It was however better than any of the Picard oriented movies of late, which were all dismal.

    Yeah, it's different. But as a movie by itself it was good.

    I'm just happy that it's recruiting new Trekkies. I was afraid that Enterprise killed Star Trek forever, and I'm happy to see it live on by whatever means. I'm seeing a lot of questions from budding Trekkers, wondering about older series. If it takes a bunch of shiny objects, bells & whistles to get these younger people interested, fine. I'll take it.

    I just don't want Abrahms to give it the "Lost" treatment: amazing at first, then all sorts of unanswered questions that are stupidly and hastily addressed at the end. That would be terrible.
