I've enjoyed many a action romp full of plot holes. They just never get picked apart because they don't try to attach themselves to any long standing fanbase. Like pretty much any Jason Statham film ever after Americans discovered him.
The problem is that Star Trek movies were always intellectual Scifi first and action maybe.. third or fourth in the list of priorities and these new ones are just going "hey lookee here i'm star trek!!!" without acknowledging that at it's core and for a very long time Star Trek was a look at humanity and raised all the philosophical questions of it's time. People seem to think what the younger fans want is explosions when really it would benefit them and us greatly to stay true to the deep core.
So one one hand, they are horrendous and awful star trek films. There's no way that Kirk et all came from that mob of unruly hormonal children; it's impossible to believe. On the other.. it's a great set of films for Netflix and Chill - nothing challenging, good zippy dialogue in places, explosions and you don't have to watch it for the plot cause really it's not hard to grasp.
Also Mr Pegg's Scottish wife really paid off and his accent was spot on which is brilliant for me as a Scottish person after years of really awful attempts from actors and our own people foregoing theirs for BBC English.
Plot holes that you can stick your leg through and wear as well worn jeans are great for when you need background noise :D
Then you can always go watch a really good, perfectly crafted film like Scott Pilgrim.

This is why I really, really hate Abrams and wish I could curse him with the fleas of a thousand camels for trying to "fix" the genre. With friends like him we don't need enemies.

you didn't like Scott Pilgrim? Edgar Wright is probably one of my top 5 directors. his framing is flawless. It panel perfect form in parts. The music is excellent and everytime i watch it there's something new to look at.
don't care: Karl Urban
