I'm sorry. I had such high hopes for it, but that was worse than all the worst bits of every odd-numbered Star Trek movie combined. It had a sillier premise than the one about God, a less believable baddie than Nemesis, more gratuitous emo plotfuckery than every Nelix episode ever. And even the cool red blob was nicked from the Shakespearian one (remember the pink Klingon blood?), a film that this one was not worthy to serve as a alternate backup trailer for on a late night Dave rerun.
OK, Kirk excepted, the resurrected Enterprise crew could have been fun. They looked the parts and I liked them. They would have made a good movie, if given a plot or behaviour that made a shred of sense. If only Dan Brown had written the script. That would have been more believable and self-consistent.
So now I should go and see Angels and Demons and prove myself wrong.
