[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mirror-Amasov: [QB] Just a thought on the 'good story'. The story itself was crap. "Villain accidentially travels through time to destroy Vulcan for some confuse reasons and the tries to destroy the universe for no reason at all". What made the movie work was the chraracters, more than anything else. The whole thing was character-driven, not story-driven. Which is a good thing, usually. It's just that *we* are used to 40+ years of mostly story-driven narratives in Trek (in the shows, I will exclude some of the movies and a few episodes here), which makes it feel strange to us. The story construct of this movie felt like an afterthought, as if someone sat in the writer's room and said "You know, we have all these wonderful characters and dialogue and interactions, but we actually need some story we can tell". It probably took about 5 minutes to come up with it. Seriously, I even dare to say that it definitely was not one of the first things Orci and Kurtzman developed. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
