This film is a failure in every way a film can be a failure. It is neither technically accomplished, well-written, artistic, entertaining in a mainstream sort of way, nor well-directed.
It's excrement. The direction is simply absurd. Horrible shot choices, terrible lighting, nothing in focus, performances so miserable they ought to be enshrined in some kind of museum for people to study, and the overall pacing of a dead snail nailed to a brick.
At nearly 2 hours, I don't think I've ever experienced a movie this bloated and unfunny.
Look, I like Star Trek. A lot. In fact, I'm a Trekkie. And I like sci-fi. But that doesn't make me some kind of indiscriminate moron willing to overlook the basic requirements of good filmmaking just because some self-indulgent director throws me a few sci-fi references.
