Title: Terrible story offsets great cast
Review: What is it when J.J. Abrahms has a great cast he saddles them with a terrible script. He had Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Mission Impossible 3 and that movie was terrible and PSH's awesome acting couldn't save the film. It is the same thing with Star Trek. Let's never mind that it destroys Vulcan, something totally out of sync with everything else in Star Trek, but he makes the characters almost cartoonish in how they act.All of this great acting talent almost overcomes one of the worst scripts of the past five years but it fails because the script runs like a roller coaster from point to point and there is no point to any of it. Spock's father, a major figure in his own right, is like a fly on the wall. It is really just such a shame that all this talent was wasted and what could have been a great movie is very, very weak.
