So, we went and saw the Trek movie this morning...



WHY WOULD YOU HAVE A VILLAIN WHOSE ENTIRE PHILOSOPHY IS THAT THERE IS NO STRENGTH IN UNITY...

...BE THE HEAD OF A FUCKING SWARM

DOES NOT COMPUTE

Well, the best I can say about it is that it was a collection of plot holes that were ones we hadn't seen before, unlike the first two movies.

Okay, I liked the humorous bits and there were things here and there that I liked, but when the overall movie doesn't engage me so that I'm sitting there through the entire thing mentally inserting the Master Chief* in instead of paying much attention, there's problems. Ah well.

* My thing of late for getting myself through tedious data-entry type of stuff at work is to put Let's Plays of Halo on in the background. No, I don't know why, other than to speculate that as there is little plot and less character development, it provides noise and motion that I can dip into every so often without worrying that I've lost track.

Glad I'm not missing much. I've been avoiding since I'm still pissed about Spock punching somebody in the last one.

The problem that led to the final action sequence of the film could have been completely avoided if they had, oh, I don't know, some sort of advanced technology that would allow them to take matter that is located in one place and somehow instantaneously transfer it to another place.

OR AT LEAST GIVEN US SOME TECHNOBABBLE TO EXPLAIN WHY THEY COULDN'T USE THE TRANSPORTERS

Gaaaaaahhhhhhhh.
