Star Trek

Barry mentioned this a few times but I suppose it's time I explained why I really didn't like the new Star Trek movie. It's because IT ISN'T STAR TREK. if it had been "Sci Fi movie" or "Red Mater" or some other title it would have been fine. It's decent movie, but it's not a Star Trek movie.

Star Trek is has been and is more than action scenes and space ship battles, yes those things are there but there is much more going on behind them than the actual action. Much like the light-saber duel of Return of the Jedi verses the Duel in The Phantom Menace.

There is just no underlying theme or tone to the new Star Trek. If you really want to see what I'm talking about watch from the original series "The City on the Edge of Forever" or "Balance of Power" from TNG "The inner Light" "The best of both worlds" and "All good things..." this is what Star Trek is about, not mindless action scenes that server no purpose other than to get money from an audience.

That is why it was called "Star Trek" because it's well know, because it would make money, there was no other reason. It's the same problem that the TNG movies have, they are decent sci fi action movies, but they are not Star Trek.
