Star Trek – 6

Much – nay, most – of the fun in this movie came from a recognition of who the characters would become on the TV series of 40 years ago. If it sounds like I’ve got my verb tense confused, it’s only some time travel I borrowed from the film, specifically Leonard Nimoy’s Spock. The story was no better than a TV episode, and the special effects were probably sensational in IMAX, which I tried, but failed, to see. On the downside, there were Indiana Jones-like scenes that were embarrassingly out-of-place – e.g., Kirk running from a deranged dinosaur on an ice planet patently incapable of supporting such a life form. Credit to the actors, even Eric Bana as the villain, for not trying to do too much.
