For Star Trek, the creation of an alternate time line makes all knowledge of who Kirk and his crew were in reality (by reality I am referring to the actual time line of the universe) irrelevant. The change of events does not even limit the differences to Kirk because Nero is active in this movie and he affects events that would not have happened otherwise. Even Old Spok says so, in his question “Are you not the captain?” when New Kirk tell him that New Spok marooned him for mutiny.

Hence we are left with a feeling of lost info, wondering what happened there or there, who that is, why did he did that etc. This is a movie that deserved many more hours of storytelling but we did not get that.

Having seen both new “blockbuster” movies, the new Star Trek and Wolverine, I must say that I was not impressed. However, the reasons are very different.

It showed us something that does not add anything … Continue reading Star Trek and Wolverine<\/span> →<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
