When the USS Enterprise crew is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one-man weapon of mass destruction. As our space heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew. Written by Paramount Pictures
I am so disappointed by this latest franchise. Great action is not enough when the plot is weak.
J. J. Abrams keeps disappointing me since the last last episode of Lost.
His productions start grandiose. Eventually the story loses its momentum. To counterbalance action is used to fill the vacuum. Thus I find myself as a great Sci-Fi fan confused.
I love, though, how his movies start. However a movie with just a good start is a movie with a weak plot.
As a summary J.J. Abrams knows how to make a good beginning is, and i am sure he will soon develop good endings too.
