3. Good action (yes) but for me and I think others, Star Trek was about more than that.
4. Cadet to Captain in one mission is god awful story telling.
My personal opinion is that it grossed so much based on a number of things.
Original fans having a look see. (and going away disappointed. ie me)
Modern audiences look for smash and bang movies now and not content.
I think I got my action trek in TWOK and UDC. Steve 
Personally I have given up on it and have my DVD collection to sustain me now lol
Oh again I hate the Enterprise design in it.... seen better fan made designs out there. |
Taranis -
That's a pretty good summation and I agree, but I did include the DVD (at a greatly reduced price) to my Trek movie DVD set. I have watched it once or twice, but there's just something missing from it that makes it truly compelling for me to watch on an annual basis. I can watch films like TMP or TWOK year after year, but never tire of them. It's not the actors, mostly the production design and the thin storytelling.
Oh well, it is what it is.
