The Reboot was like watching a train wreck into a bus full of school children, which subsequently explodes, launching debris into pet shop full of cute animals.

Star Trek For Simpletons! That would be a good name for the loser fans who like the new movie. Simpletons. lol

[comicculturewarrior]

@sallyjosie So...you didn't like it, huh? I wasn't clear on how you felt about the Star Trek reboot and its fans. :P Elliott

movie script that looked like it came straight out of Star Wars! Only a complete half-wit would have written such a crappy script like that and only complete fools would enjoy it. Fools who have never seen or understood the original series because it actually required people to think and the fools who like the new crap don't like to use their brains. Probably hurts too much. And the fact that several of the actors are good-looking also played a huge role in its success. Yeah, I'll pass on....

abrams azz. Re-boots are cowardly and they show a lack of talent and imagination. Any loser can reboot a franchise and then make up a bunch of crap to suit their own twisted ideas. Abrams was NOT a star trek fan and that ALONE should have disqualified him from writing for the franschise but the beavis and buttheads at paramount only care about money. And who the hell found the movie as "fun and entertaining?" as some well-paid movie critics claimed. What the hell is so fun about an ultra-cliched

@friedasmith You tell them Frieda. Man I can't believe how easily impressed some people are with pure crap. Now other studios are planning on taking that losers abrams cowardly and dishonorable idea of "re-booting" several movie franchises. Only complete imbeciles would go that route! Star Trek did not need to do that! In fact it would have been better if they hadn't. I hope someone writes some brillant new stories for the other Star Trek shows and completely ignores the crap that fell out of

I did not buy it on DVD... though I have every DVD of REAL Star Trek.

NO I will not waste my money on such a shallow movie in spite of what you guys may think. Just because you will don't presume to judge what other people will do. I in fact have not wasted a dime to see this movie or Nemesis because I was able to see them for free. And I still felt like I "spent too much" on those movies.

[friedasmith]

I didn't care for the new movie because it was badly written by person's who were obviously not star trek fans therefore they lacked the understanding that star trek was more then just a bunch of people on a spaceship as one person has pointed out elsewhere. And I agree. Too many people have a one-dimensinal view of the classic star trek when it is in fact a three dimensinal show, well, most of the time. And I do agree, sometimes STNG crew did have a holier then thou attitude that was annoying.
