[Brannigans Law]

I realize I'm in the vast minority when I say this, but it's a hill I'm willing to die on. I think JJ's Star Trek was terrible. It had a stupid plot. It was a ridiculous origins movie. They couldn't explain away everything soon enough on how the crew amazingly got together so quickly and fill in back stories like why McCoy is called Bones. The acting was good and the action is good which is why people liked it, but as a Star Trek movie it failed miserably and as a sci fi movie it was equally ######ed. The antagonist was about as weak as Star Trek Nemesis' ridiculous villain and the plot almost as nonsensical. But it had pretty sweet 'splosions!

I don't like TOS either to be honest and I agree the Stewart movies blew. I just find myself on an island with the new Star Trek movie with how much I dislike it, and I get it. Maybe I'm full of it and you're right along with the general public and critics. I view the movie through a lens though, a lens that asks for a little more from a Star Trek movie than just action and good presentation.
