The new Star Trek movies are fucking terrible.
And probably the No. 1 reason the human race deserves its horrific end.

I thought new Trek got the three main characters right, but not much else.

Anyone who thinks the new movies are "good" is NOT a long-time Trek fan.
Or they are so hopped up on the current Geek Sheep culture that they are not to be trusted.

OK. Pine is good in the role, but it isn't the right role.
Kirk is the fulcrum on which the science and logic and base instincts rest.
Not the funnel in which everything mindless runs through.

Meh. As someone who works in the entertainment industry and never knows for sure where his next paycheck is coming from, I say go get it. Do ALL the work. I don't have a problem with people working.

JJ is the worst thing to happen to sci-fi.
I'll just sit here with my Asimov collections and let you "geeks" watch your shitty sci-fi and Marvel movies.
