Movies: Star Trek
There are young people playing leading roles, so the Star Trek movie is like a space road trip full of Wesley Crusher's space college friends. Which is actually a good thing, compared to other Star Trek movies. The movie is fun, at least for the first 80 or so minutes. The script takes care of providing regular comic relief to make the filler segments less annoying. The kill count puts any Rambo movie easily to shame, with a few billion species being supernova-ed and black-holed out of existence. There are space chases, warp jumps, tattooed & pierced villains wearing black, cracks in hulls, man made black holes, beaming accidents, and the occasional space monster, too.
The script doesn't hold up too well towards the final third, once the chase with the villain begins. It's relying a bit too much on every bizarre idea and heroic deed of the Enterprise crew working the first time. Escaping from all-devouring black holes? Piece of cake for them. But nevertheless, it's a lot more enjoyable then Star Trek movies were in a long while.
