I have loved Star Trek from the very first episode of the original series. But this new attempt to reboot a classic is shameful. The idea is sound. The graphics/CGI OK. But the script is boring and the acting...well, it really isn't even acting. It's just some unknowns walking around green screen sets blurting out a relatively bland and boring script. The digital folks tried hard and in some cases the visuals are not all that bad. But I just can't watch it. I tried. I tried really hard to set aside any expectations but I just couldn't get through more than about 30 minutes of the first episode. And I have watched every show to date from the original to the films (good and bad) to Next Generation to Voyager and DS9 to Enterprise and on--all very watchable, even the bad or lame ones. This latest stuff just has no heart or life.
