Spoiler Alert! If you don't want to know about the plot of the new Star Trek movie, don't read on! I saw it last night courtesy of Xbox360 Movie Club. I have to admit it's an enjoyable movie; big budget, action-packed, decently performed and with enough nods to geekdom to keep both old fans and new happy.
But it lacks depth, and there are some bum notes - Simon Pegg neither looks, sounds or acts like Scott, and there are some huge plot holes - what are the odds of two people stranded independently on an ice planet finding each other? And could someone decide whether Vulcan has a moon or not? But what annoyed me most is that the time-travel plot completely tears up Classic Trek continuity. So now there's no planet Vulcan - does that mean no Amok Time, no Voyage Home...?
Anyway, it was better than Insurrection, and Nemesis, and Enterprise, so I won't grumble too much. Perhaps the next one will present fewer difficulties. And I'll still collect the Burger King toys.
