I forgot about the Nokia thing. Yeah, that was pretty lame. The Budweiser thing was a little jarring too, but neither was as bad as Baby Kirk's awful, awful wig. When the camera initially panned down on him in the Vette I instantly thought, "WTF? Billy Idol is a car thief in Star Trek?" But thankfully that whole sequence ended quickly and didn't recur, so I wasn't to caught up in it.
I have to say that I'm surprised that so many people are reacting so negatively to the film, but then again, I was one of the few people I know who absolutely despised Transformers, so obviously some films just strike that chord in some people. I wonder, though, if for a large segment of the population this film was doomed from the start as seeing such beloved characters recast and in new surroundings was just too much to swallow.
