Destiny: Lost Souls (Star Trek) - David Mack

Star Trek: Massively Overrated

Advantages: Swift plot development; suitable for nearly all ages.
Disadvantages: Terrible plot; unconvincing characters; indifferent acting.

Among the first of this year?s summer blockbusters has been J J Abram?s new Star Trek movie, which has been widely regarded as having successfully brought this iconic franchise into a new century and to a new generation. The reviews have been overwhelmingly positive ? Ann Hornaday in the Washington Post wrote a prayer of thanks to the ?Lord of Star Trek? for a movie that ?has miraculously resurrected a wheezing but beloved and still relevant franchise?; the Daily Mail salutes ?the most outstanding prequel of all time?; and the Times celebrates ?a dazzling and beautiful rebirth? of Star Trek. The reviewers on Ciao so far give the film a full 5 stars, and the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) gives it 8.4/10 from over 75,000 ratings. Against this tidal wave of enthusiasm stands me. I don?t even have a sidekick to help me. I must alone ...

A New Beginning, A New Future?The New Star Trek

Advantages: 127 mins of sheer warp speed adventure. The best Star Trek ever an outstanding movie
Disadvantages: Not enough of it you want more

questions. With the pedigree of J.J.Abrams the man behind sensations such as Alias, Lost, Cloverfield and Mission Impossible III matched perfectly with the complimenting partnership of writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, how could they fail to have a winner with a movie created to interest a more general audience rather than just ?Trekkers and nerds?? More importantly their smarts were used, rather than going forward into the future following on from the previous movies a bold move was made; instead they went back in time?quite literally within the Star Trek universe and transformed it while still staying faithful to the original premise of Roddenberry. Back they went through time, back to the favourite characters of the original series to a period fans could only speculate at, back to the academy. This idea I found intriguing but not as ...

Star Trek - Alternately Outstanding

Advantages: Fantastic Action and spills, the effects are amazing and will pull in new fans
Disadvantages: None

Star Trek.... well... first of all... I have not even seen the tv series (original or the next frontier) or have i seen ANY movies. (well 1/4 of a movie and i'll say.... i got parts of the movie i saw but not much (FYI it was Star Trek: Nemesis). Moving to my point.... Star Trek.... Was.... The Worst film if you dispised all actions and thrillers, but one of the BEST films of the decade if you love actions and thrillers like me! I was actually worried that I wouldn't get the plot of the film, but surprisingly enough, I did and i really enjoyed the film. WARNING: Like all my reviews, I reveal the beginning, so if you do not wish to know, please just scroll past the next two paragraphs. As the USS Kelvin becomes attacked by the Narada (a Romulan mining ship), all the crew members evacuate. The current captain is asked ...
