Star Trek (2009)
4/10
Are the people who are giving this movie high marks over the age of 14?

They should have named this movie "Star Trek: Abomination". I don't know where to get started….how about the plot!

:::::: WARNING –SPOILER ALERT::::::::::::::::::

Now, I don't have a problem with J.J. Abrams doing a Star Trek movie that is a Prequel to the original 1966-69 TV series. I know that many of my fellow Trekkies had issues with that, However, I didn't have any issues with that. That is not my gripe.

My biggest gripe is the plot, I mean did adults actually write this script? And if Yes, then did they ever go to science class? ((( and how the hell does it have an 8.0 rating here on IMDb, didn't any of the people who saw this go to science class either?

Okay, the movie is about a renegade Romulan Captain named Nero who travels back in time 80 years just to get revenge on Ambassador Spock for failing to save his home planet in the future. Apparently Ambassador Spock was going to stop the Romulan sun from going Super Nova by injecting it with something called red matter that would implode their sun and created a artificial black hole. Did it not occur to anyone that if you implode a star and create a black hole, which the Black Hole created would also destroy the Romulan home planet? So either way the planet would've been destroyed. And why doesn't Nero ever go to his home planet and warn them about the coming future catastrophe, No, instead he just floats around in space for 25 years doing nothing as he is waiting for Spock to arrive. This is just stupid. Then J.J.Abrams has Nero destroy the planet Vulcan, thus destroying 50 years worth of canonized Star Trek movies and television shows (all of which involve planet Vulcan). And what's up with those product placement ads….. come on man, this is Star Trek, 300 years in the future and people are still using Nokia phones, drinking Budweiser, and driving Chevrolets.. C'mon man …oh and still is listening to the Beastie Boys too. ….again this was an abomination to Star Trek
