   I said I was going to see the movie and finally I did. I bought the   
   DVD and watched it a couple of times; once with family members who are   
   usually fond of Star Trek. I had expected to be disappointed and I   
   have to say that yeah, I was. From the over-stuffed nacelles, the   
   funky phaser pistols, to the bland plot-- the new Star Trek movie   
   reminded me of those 60s sci-fi films out of Italy and Japan.   
      
   Okay, so Roddenberry said he had hoped that somebody would do a   
   prequel, but I think in this case the poor man is spinning in his   
   grave. I wanted it to be good-- hey, I wanted Enterprise to be good,   
   too-- but oy! This was just mediocre pap. So 90 plus per cent liked   
   this huh? Hmmm, I guess that only goes to prove that majority rule is   
   often horribly wrong. As the song says, when you listen to fools the   
   mob rules.  Pity.   ;-)
