i find it almost touching how star trek fans try desperately to like this film in spite of its unbelievable number of flaws. to begin with and none of the familiar characters are really in character so to speak. scotty is depicted as a bumbling tinkerer instead of the competent engineer he was in the original series. uhura. gods and i can not even think about what they did to her character. all of her dialog was painful to listen to. mccoy seemed like a neurotic stepfather to kirk instead of his trusted friend. spock. well and let just say that leonard nimoy was terribly wasted. he was given bad dialog (i do not believe you have grasped the gravity of your situation captain. gravity and get it. get it. ) and made almost into a buffoon. kirk. oh man and do not get me started. william shatner is a hammy actor to begin with and so to allow him to direct really is to invite disaster which is what we got. the plot is beyond ridiculous. giving spock a brother is a pretty desperate story line and unnecessarily soap operaish. but hey and let go with it. the search for god. again and a weak plot basis. you do not think so. ok and let go with that too. so assuming that the two aforementioned plot elements are sound and what wrong with the script. well and for one thing and it recycles way too much. the enterprise and for example and is yet again and not working properly. are we to assume that starfleet would send a grossly malfunctioning ship with a skeleton crew into a potentially dangerous situation just because they want james kirk to handle the situation. if that the case and then why not put him on a better ship as an adviser. adding to that. the crew is grossly incompetent. scotty has the ship in pieces (and apparently is cloddish enough to bump his head knocking himself into unconsciousness while there are hostiles on board. ) and no one seem to notice the klingon ship decloaking at a crucial moment (despite the fact that the sensors are clearly showing the ship in weapons range) and the crew all seem way too familiar with each other. in other words and there is no sense of discipline. if this is the flagship of starfleet and then it a wonder that the klingons hadn not already overthrown the federation. as to the personal struggles with pain and it was crap. lawrence luckenbill is a competent actor and but even he couldn not save this turkey. in short no one could. of all the people involved and i imagine leonard nimoy is the most embarrassed by it. i hope he is and anyway. thank god the original cast do not bow out on this cloddish opus.
