I went and watched the JJ Trek 2009 movie. The one I quit watching not even half way through. This time I went and watched it all.
Overall story, I give it around 2-3. Since its a different Universe and not part of the Prime Universe. So it kinda helps on that. Specially since all the tech proves its never intended to be part of the Prime. Story of Nero going nuts to get revenge makes a good theme. And they trying to stop him. How the cast was introduced was kinda lame, it was like it didn't fit in well at all. The ship being built in Iowa and on the ground. Where the cadets was hanging out. That was also kinda lame. And it seems they have no regard to a ranking system. Just a lot of stuff that just isn't right.
Action/Thriller, I give it around 1-2. Lots of action seems that is what most of the movie is for. And at times it went unrealistic as most action movies go. Star Trek and tons of action just don't mix well.
Star Trek based, I give it around 1-2. It just seemed to miss the Trek aspect like the other movies. As it was more focused on action theme.
Comedy Relief, I give it around 0-1. Some of it was just too stupid. Granted on Trek you have some scenes, but never to this level.
Graphics, I give it 2-3. The fighting scenes and details of the ships, etc. That was really nice. I love the Bridge on the Enterprise. However I didn't like the overall appearance of the Enterprise outside. The other interior shots was horrible. Engineering lacked the flow to make it part of the ship. The "Brewery" over the corridors and Bridge, it just didn't match up at all. It looked like they ran out of ideas and just threw in in the last minute without much thought. Definitely a rush job on that.
Characters, I give it a 1-2. They just didn't have the appeal to really enjoy them and be memorable. Most acted like a bunch of brat teens and morons. Only I liked was Pike, at least he had a better appeal. Other than old Spock.
Would I watch it again? I would over some of the other Trek movies I didn't like. So its not on the bottom of my list. But I have other movies I enjoy much better for Star Trek. In time I will try Darkness.
