STAR TREK (2009) - negative review by Angry Star Trek Fan

[Abonanno24601]

Star Trek hasn't disappointed you yet? Dude, this was a great movie. I think its the best Star Trek movie ever made next to Khan. It has action. I don't feal like I'm on a submarine! BTW, get a better mic

[BGR290]

dude, you need to get laid.

[knowpassword]

Be more specific.. I get nothing from "it sucks its horrible" over and over

[NKToyReviewer]

I totally agree man! Abomination man truly an abomination!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nufto]

you're review is accurate,the reboot is a loser for lots of reasons i'll just name a couple first,look at what they did to the enterprise took away her beautiful photon torpedoes and elegant phasers. then they gave you a terrible storyline weak and full of plotholes.spock's character is devoid of presence and authority(remember his superb entrance in the first movie).

i could go on.but it is best just to ignore this movie

[MrSchultzstaffel]

This "movie" was a typical JJ Abrams piece of shit...you're right...but could you at least make that point WITHOUT the "mego Mr. Spock" doll in your hands!? Makes me feel like this "army" of true, Star Trek fans that are behind me are all a bunch of "dressed-up," pathetic, no-life convention punks all shouting "Ka-Pla" in Klingon while they're shopping at the local Wal-mart in their full Federation uniforms! Not exactly the kind of God-damn back-up that I was hoping for here! Jo lan true? Shit.

[YamiCassie]

talk dirty to me.

[NonstopRam]

I dont get it.

[jadegecko]

I love how he gets to Uhura / Zoe Saldana and completely loses his train of thought. You can just see his pupils turning into little hearts. Sorta like when I watched Avatar. :)

[trinapinks]

"insulted my intelligence" dude you are sitting in a bedroom the size of my closet playing with dolls, you have no intelligence. You are too old to be playing with action figures get a life nerd.

[dantesinfernal0]

As a Star Trek fan, I pray to god that this is satire. And if it is, just a note: comedy can be good when it's subtle, but this is a bit TOO subtle.

[SverigeNorgeDanmark]

Yeah don't like the whole alternative reality thing with the latest movie.

[wardragonprime]

What this guy doesn't want to admit is that the Star Trek franchise was dead in the water. The failures of Star Trek X and Enterprise proved that. It was time for Star Trek to either adapt or die. Star Trek has adapted and the franchise has been given new life.  If the trekkie nerds of the world don't like the changes they can always watch reruns of the original series. As far as I'm cocerned, Star Trek XI ( and eventually XII) rules!

[Tuber77]

@wardragonprime No actually i think this movie proved that star trek should have just died. Let it be put to rest and have it be remember for WHAT IT WAS. Instead of turning into something its not. Somethings are better if you just put them to rest. After JJ movies Star Trek will be in the position it was before.

[1701EarlGrey]

@Tuber77 I agree with that. I don't know if 214scifi is joking or not, but I agree with him too, this film was abomination. Is this sepuset be a parody? If so, even an actual parody Trek parody "Galaxy Quest" was better that this movie. In mean script of atrocious! Orci&Kurtzman can't write to save their lives. This guys wrote Bayformers for for pit's sake! this story...it don't make no damn sense. Direction was also phenomenally bad. Lens flares, shaky cam. This was just bad movie.

[1701EarlGrey]

[wardragonprime]

Get a life,nerd.

[RAFFilmsLtd]

I think it was a marvelous attempt at reinventing the franchise. Up until recently Star trek was dead. The Next Generation movies never exhibited anything movie-worthy. They were all 2-hour episodes dealing with a villain and his "super weapon." J.J.'s Trek did too, but it was made well and opened the doors to new adventures with the original characters. The sequel should take Trek back to Roddenberry's vision. I'm hoping.

[mikey777799]

I totally agree. I'm not a big Star Trek fan and I was not "converted". lol The movie was obviously trying very hard to be "cool" and "hip". Which is very lame indeed.

[Strome88]

wait is this a parody or a genuine review? These geeks are confusing as heck.

[LovingScrubbies]

You are right.

The movie packed fudge.

[donda2111]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO­LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! XD

[alieninwhite]

2009 flick: a Star Trek pastiche to the Star Wars Prequels generation of viewers, and they sucks!!!

[MoonarEclipse]

then why don't you just go and get a directing career and try and direct your own star trek movie because your just sooooooo appalled by JJ's version that you've just GOT to come and complain to us, isntead of DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT

@214scifi

can i help :o

[temporaldisplacement]

@214scifi I'd bang on about "there is no try" ...but I think that might be unwelcome.

[214scifi]

@temporaldisplacement Go on...I dare you...

[temporaldisplacement]

@214scifi Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try. 8p

[AlienNation79]

@214scifi u suck

[214scifi]

@AlienNation79 Why?

[McMahonHater]

@temporaldisplacement Thats ok, I like both Trek and Wars, I am just a bigger fan of Star Trek.

[temporaldisplacement]

@McMahonHater Trek is better, and while I'm into geek pride .....I think the real geeks are the ones who go to star wars conventions.

[214scifi]

@temporaldisplacement  Ooooops...

[temporaldisplacement]

@214scifi ha ha ......well, I'd go to see the princess's ...but I'd only go costumed up to a star trek conv' .......there'd be loads of Kilgons ....so I'd have to make a Nausican or Hirogen costume. =)

[knighttemplar6]

Good movie good senario very good effects bad story for star trek universe

[Rampagelil]

@BortkaBrosStudios Um you do realize that's how the old show was right?

[Rampagelil]

I loved the movie but I understand if you didn't like it as a trek fan I know what you're saying but it's nowhere near as bad as those crap gijoe and transformers remakes, at least this movie still had allot to offer. But like I said I can understand why you don't like it.

[carnivalofsouls2047]

I agree with the Angry Star Trek Fan. I don't even count JJ Abrams Star Trek movie as a Star Trek movie, it was an abomination. It just plain sucked. All previous Star Trek Movies beat the crap out of this movie hands down. This was too much a Teen Trek with new Star Wars elements added and it just blows chunks. I wanted to like it but it was immensely disappointing on so many levels. Rebooting, time travel, Cadet Kirk being promoted to Captain within an hour (yeah right), etc, etc, etc...

[McMahonHater]

Now wait just a damn minuet! I can agree with you on some of this but Karl Urban is a great actor who did a flawless job as McCoy.

[markantonymcwhorter]

i liked the movie,but the whole "changing time" thing was a little much...i mean, you can't just wipe out the past and start over...what's next? is star wars history gonna be changed too?

[214scifi]

@markantonymcwhorter "Yes, before you know it they will re-deux STAR WARS in the same fashion! This is a disturbing trend!" -ANGRY STAR TREK FAN

[McMahonHater]

@markantonymcwhorter They already did, look at what they did with Bobba Fett, now ever novel about his past is Non Cannon.

[rushfanjr2112]

Wow, this review is horrible. I personally thought the movie was great but I could understand why a fan of the original might have some gripes. The main problem with the review is that he never says why the movie was bad or why the actor was poorly casted. Good reviews give reason and site examples - this review has neither. It's a very simplistic review, the exact opposite of what I'd expect from a real Star Trek fan.

[214scifi]

@rushfanjr2112 "I would expect this from a Rush fan" - Angry Star Trek Fan

[CordeliaDoyle]

You seem to fail to mention that this movie takes place in alternate timeline where J.J. Abrams was able to take more liberties with it than Gene Roddenberry ever could. What J.J. Abrams was trying to do was produce a movie that would bring a new generation into the world of Trek while paying homage to the originals. The original came out in 1966, this movie came out in 2009...huge generation difference. There are bound to be different and quite possibly better undertakings.

[TheBobajango]

Look out your window, it's called EARTH! I'm a Trek fan but things change, DEAL WITH IT!

@TheBobajango ????????

[Backlap]

I just can't disagree with a Logan's Run fan! :)

[blastarrbollaxIII]

The Americans always like to rewrite history.

So what they did was to take the 'star spangled' all American Star Trek, (which wasn't all American cause it's main star was a Canadian CS).

And replace him with an all American smarmy CS, with a cast of money grabbing greasy all American CS with extra smarm for added substance.

Throw in the ego of an all American smarmy CS Director and there you have it... the all American cheesy CS Star Trek cash cow, originally entitled, 'The search for $CASH$'.

[sondano]

joke aside the promo that declared this movie Not your father's Star Trek clearly implying that it was better than classic ST was condescending and just flat out wrong "my father's ST" is the true ST and it was perfect as it was the new movie is not ST it doesn't have the feeling the characters the brilliant vision of ST suck it JJ! you are clueless

[Mikej2156]

:P good scetch, it captured the super nerd perfectly :P

[nicky120791]

It made me feel empty. It simply wasnt star trek.

[lovejen01]

I thought the movie was the best since ST 4, and First Contact also they didn't stick with same humanity crap that they been doing through out generations, ds9, voyager and enterprise. Big movie big effects and action which the other films lacked except the first 4 films and STNG First Contac.

[sondano]

and thank God they lacked them ST was never about big fucking effects that is brainless junk

[214scifi]

Yeah, look at Star Trek 5! Hardly any effects...

[sondano]

and I couldn't care less I LOVE Star Trek V it has that good old Star Trek feeling that this new movie completely lacks with all its neurotic cinematography and anti-retina lens flares I guess that's a trendy spec effect device that JJ has become obsessed with no good reason other than making his movie "flashy" ... and simultaneously unwatchable

[zensorship]

@214scifi

I loved the 1st one (although the story was quite a remake of the TOS episode "The Changeling") for its Star Trek feel, and I loved the 4th one with the whales. It was so funny! The part when Scotty talks to the computer mouse had me in stitches...

but the new movie ruined it all. I'm a Star Trek fan, and I had the urge to burn the cinema down at the end!

[Lastnerdonearth]

I felt the same way. But leave it to Hollywood to do anything to make a quick buck. I have also made a review on this movie. Called: "Pixel Super Show: Star Trek review," on the "groundonevideo" Channel. It was fun to blast new trek, since there's so much nonsense to talk about. :)

[prisonerofmachines]

Ha. I like how you made everyone think Star Trek fans are just like drooling idiot starwars fans.

Actually Star Trek fans run the country.

Hey, you might want to give comedy a try, once you learn it.

[happosai27]

is he serious or is it a spoof?? lol

[VictorHugoBrazil]

He´s a comedian and you are all owned. :O)

By the way, i share your pain!

[tgbeale]

by the way...they didnt drop your dvds...you did

[tgbeale]

he's jus mad cuz his old trek dolls are outdated now

[leewatts]

hahahaha

[KieranM01]

star trek is shit, lol

[dontwatchthatwatchme]

aye dude you just keep playing with your star trek dolls

[Asurei]

You say the movie is bad... but you never say WHY.

[Elite2547]

I loved the new movie, and I loved Star Trek Enterprise! (double whammy)

[unbreakable2008]

you are completely correct. This new star trek movie is horrible...

I hate the guts of the idiot writers and directors that created this monstrosity.. now they have done irrepreble damage for decades.. how will another movie fix this damn thing?

We need a reboot of this reboot..

I predict that the people who REALLY Know what strar trek is about will join forces and out cry against this horrible film

[Kihotay]

This guy is joking, right. I've been an original series fan all my life and ..... this film was 10/10.

If you hate this film you should have your balls cut off (but they probably have been already) and you should eat shit and die.

Fucking nob.

[waltmanxp]

LIAR! your not an original series fan, your just a trekker, JJ Abram ruin Star Trek I hope he burn in hell.

[sondano]

OK then tell me just exactly where does Scotty in TOS behave like a clown? Scotty did make some jokes but he was NOT the funny guy on the ship. He was a gentleman not that hyperactive goof Simon Pegg makes him seem like. And that's just one of many many blunders in this movie

[rosco2903]

This is hilarious! Exactly how I would expect the stereotype of a Trekkie to behave

[TheSolitaryPoet]

Just remember, Star Trek: TOS was based on Forbidden Planet. Leslie Nielsen made an awesome captain! Forget what you know about him; back in the day, he was the drama king.

If you think of Star Trek as a sequel to Forbidden Planet, and not a prequel to TOS, you might actually like it because it is.

[buzz64n]

My question excatly. Is this a parody? If so, is this a parody on my Star Trek negative review? I don't know what to say about this video.

[Merrythemad]

erm...is this a parody?

[nameofnobody]

Movies make money. Good movie for a reboot, bad movie for a prequel.

[adamo85]

Anyone else notice the quality of movies diminishing since 2002?

[1701EarlGrey]

@adamo85 yes, 2000's movies sucks

[Theegamedude]

We think alike. I just stumbled on it. Good job. Funny stuff.

[indiesk8r1]

If you've seen the original you'll know that as far as stories go it was way ahead of it's time. Each episode was a devious mystery which required the crew to search their hearts and minds for the solution and the villians were interesting, sometimes omnipotent. This movie is just a tired terrorism metaphor like those on CSI, NCIS, and other cheap crime procedurals. It's the worst Star Trek because it doesn't even try to say anything. It just blah's on causing epileptic fits until it ends.

[ZaftRedCoat]

The Onion's report on the movie best sums up everything.

[shicknewman]

actually id say this video does a perfect job with portraying how a stereotypical trek purist would react. and its funny! I love it!

[Star123445]

I'm a huge trek fan, and I loved the movie. I'm sure you'll agree that Insurrection and Nemesis were boring TV episodes cluttered with middle-agers and 60-somethings (no offense). This movie worked because it was the direct opposite. I don't believe the canon/continuity talk works here - Berman's team made plenty of hiccups over the past 15-20 years. But I understand your point - an alternate reality is pretty much an erasure of everything else. Sucks.. But I believe a necessary sacrifice

[bluecanvas2]

I'm gonna watch the movie tomorrow. I'll be thinking of your review, I'm sure, haha ;)

[shicknewman]

Very funny!!

[MarkFaust]

LOL! You are faking it! You are trying to act like a "nerd". Holding the Spock action figure was a nice touch. HAHAHA! This movie was frickin' awesome!

[RadioactiveReviewsTV]

YOU insult MY passion >: (
