Star Trek

*** - I must say that I am at least a little puzzled by the extreme critical praise of this film. Sure, it is fairly entertaining, and manages to cleverly skirt around the Trekker-worshipped canon of the original series, but I didn’t find it to be all that fantastic. The acting was decent but unspectacular, the unnecessary modernized sexualization of the characters was irritating, and the villains were goofy and unconvincing. Oh well, I guess average Trek is better than no Trek.
