Just saw the film. In fairness, it’s been years since I’ve seen any other film in the franchise, and over a decade since I’ve seen any of the TV shows. Still, this isn’t the Trek I remember; it’s the saturday morning cartoon version. It’s brightly colored, fast paced, full of nonstop action. It was written by someone who’s heard of science but doesn’t like the way it films, who’s aware that such a thing as a military exists but has never talked to a member of one, and who’s only ever heard of valor thirdhand.
I suppose that I could be a little more forgiving: it wouldn’t be a reboot of the series, as was popular this year, if they kept all the good bits. I just wish they’d kept a few.
