The greatest Trek since Star Trek II

Warning: Spoilers
*** May contain minor spoilers ***

I can't believe the number of negative comments there are towards this movie. It was easily the greatest trek since Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan. The villian is easily one of the best and despite the comments of some so called "fans", he is not a copy of Khan. The story is great and it does raise some interesting questions like all good Trek. How would you turn out if you had been raised differently and had different experiences? Is a clone of you really just a copy? Is what makes us unique a combination of our experiences and knowledge or simply a matter of genetics? The story is *extremely* well thought out and I think some of the nit pickers have been so worried about why Worf is there that you have missed the story of this movie. Others claim it is nothing more than violence to please the masses. Get real! Of course there is some violence, but this isn't the only aspect to the movie.

As for the nitpicking:

1. Why couldn't Worf have re-joined Starfleet? Do the producers need to join the dots. Can't these so called "fans" make their own conclusions. Remember, this movie is several years *after* the end of DS9.

2. In the episode "Journey's End", Wesley went off with the Traveler, but this doesn't mean that he couldn't turn up again. Why couldn't he have come back for the wedding? After all, it would be a big moment for two of his friends and former comrades.

3. As for all the other idiotic comments, I think these people are just looking for something to have a go at. After all, some trekkies seem to think that they will gain respect from other trekkies if they can prove their so called knowlege of the show by picking apart every single little hole they find, even if it's so insignificant that no one would notice it without them pointing it out. Then there are many so called problems I have seen mentioned on various forums and sites that I couldn't even spot in the movie, even though I thought I knew what I was looking for.

Also, some of these nitpickers conveniently overlook *major* plot holes and problems in the earlier trek films. Ever remember the famous "gaseous anomalies" error in ST6? What about Khan's knowledge of Chekov in ST2 even though Chekov wasn't in the episode with Khan? What about the completely different interior designs to the bird of prey in ST3 and 4 when they are supposed to be the same ship? Star Trek Nemesis has none of these sort of problems, yet for some reason the nit pickers are having a go at STN instead of the massive problems in earlier films.

*** spoilers end ***

Basically, this movie is the victim of bad timing (being released around the same time as DAD and LOTR) and some of the so called "fans" who are just looking for something to knock. Don't let all the negative comments put you off seing one of the greatest trek films ever.

Easily 10 out of 10.
