Star Trek

There were lots of laughable improbales in this movie. But I accept the conceipt that going from zero to TOS-minus-4-days in the space of 2 weeks rather than 8 years is going to lead to several improbables.

If we simply posit that in an altered timeline, for some reason, events and people reach their fated points with far less resistance and far quicker, "problem" solved.

Any problem that can be explained away with 2 lines of dialogue and thus remain no less implausible than any standard Star Trek gibberish is plausible enough for me in Star Trek.


If you took the name Star Trek off this movie, I would not like it either. Since my enjoyment came completely from the relationships between Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Uhura, Sulu and Checkov, it's a pretty moot point to fathom this as just another movie not about Star Trek. Certainly a movie with the same dumb plot featuring characters I didn't give a hoot about would not be one I'd enjoy.

Not even having the characters up there could save it for me (and perhaps, it was a failure for me especially because it was Kirk, Spock, etc up there being dragged through the mud of execrable screenwriting).
