Yeah, I've innocently wandered into a shop and suddenly - BAM! - I'm being emotionally blackmailed.

You don't know Chip!

Just by being there looking hangdog. That's enough to guilt trip someone with a massively developed sense of pity like me.

It's the retail equivalent of a pity f**k.
And I should know, I've been on the receiving end of enough of them.

Why does everything have to be turned into the same old shit?

Nah, I think it looks pretty good. Star Trek was one of the best blockbusters of recent years and this looks to continue that. JJ knows his onions.

Funnily enough I wish they'd do it on TV where the constraints would produce more of a classic star trek feel

it looks fine, but it's becoming yet another comic book franchise.
It used to be a thing of ideas rather than some OTT nemesis being chased around by wise-cracking people with laser guns (I generalise for affect, you understand).
Hey-Ho.
the last one was one of ideas with action.
I thought it got the feel of the old movies rather nicely

With a couple of exceptions the movies were always a bit naff. Charmingly so, but never great cinema. The Trek TV shows are what makes the Trek legend.
Yes, I liked it too. What I didn't like is the fact that the cast consists of good looking 16 year olds.
Pff, they're 30 if they're a day!
