I've seen Star Trek (2009) lately and I must say while great-looking and with decent cast it epitomized limits of this kind of cinema...The plot was rather thin, and (I don't like quoting movie critics) to quote Ebert "the Gene Roddenberry years, when stories might play with questions of science, ideals or philosophy, have been replaced by stories reduced to loud and colorful action"...It was an enjoyable experience--3/5 from me, and it paved the way for future sequels without tainting them with ridiculousness all right, but there was something missing from the actual movie, but I hope it all become more fleshed out in future installments.
