Disclaimer:DON'T READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET. I'll try not to spoil it if you can't help yourself. Saw it last night right after reading all the glowing accounts from the fella's here. Jeeez, and you guys are usually alllllright! Nuts to the new one. Rule # 1, ya just don't change the future by going into the past. You tease with it, almost do it, BUT YA JUST DON'T DO IT! Okay, you were too lazy to think up a really good plot, so ya do it anyway. You just expain it away by having a principal character state "This might be an alternate universe", or words to that effect! CRAP! Now you don't have to adhere to ANY of the star trek lore or history. You can say anything ya want. Maybe we'll find out that spock is actually a woman and Kirk is his long lost brother cause, after all, THIS IS AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE!, after all. And lets get ALL of the original cast members, all on the ship at the same time, cause it's just plain fun! Cheesy. And Kirk becomes the captain of the Enterprise the FIRST TIME HE SETS FOOT ON IT? Yeah, riiiiiight. Cheesy.
The weapons on the Enterprise look like pop guns. (okay, I know this is an early Enterprise, I'll forgive the later weapons upgrade) The internal working of the starship? What, they used an old gas refinery as a prop cause it was cheap to do? Miles and miles of big ole pipe.This is a futuristic starship, for gods sake! Cheesy. I'll quit now. I'm not a trekkie, but I'll bet the real ones are having a cow about all the liberties they took with the lore. Now then, you can all take turns kicking my Buette, but please, no pushing and shoving, and everybody take turns.
