Trek: At A Loss
What I find most infuriating about the new Star Trek movie is not that it was bad or a waste of my 2 hours 6 minutes. No, what drives me nuts is that so many other people liked it, which means that I'm horribly out of touch. See, for me, this wasn't a close thing and hardly even a matter of taste. The writing was bad, the plot was neither interesting nor internally consistent, and while there were bright spots in the acting the bad far outweighed the good.
So, I am in one of the situations I fear most in life; what is obvious to me is completely imperceptible to almost everyone else, meaning either my ego has run away with me or I am wrong.
