This film is not at all what I had expected.
What I thought I was getting was a historical film in the style of what I have seen of Das Niebelungenlied, only then of course with the Beowulf story.
What I got was a futuristic techno-film which was also, very unfortunately, extremely boring and stupid: The music was annoying, increasingly so as the film dragged on. There was not even a beginning of any depth in the story. And the parts that were supposed to be sexy just weren't.
All in all a cardboard box is considerably more entertaining.

This film is not as bad as people say it is. However, it is certainly not good either!
The acting somehow seemed on a much lesser plan than any given episode. And that is a great pity! It's a bit like early Seinfeld episodes, where the actors haven't yet completely found their way to their character. It's a process. Only here it is the other way around. The actors seem to have lost touch with their characters a bit through the passage of time.
Of course, the fact that cohesion of the story is so low does nothing towards remedying that. And I was not charmed by how the story was introduced: they just happened to be going to a wedding, really accidentally still all together on the Enterprise for the last time, when they have to make a detour, and that detour is our story. Contrived and neither very inventive nor inspired, rather more insipid!
Personally, I would very much like the next Star Trek movie to be based upon the Voyager-series. The final double-episode was already more than I had hoped for and I just know that it could be the very best ever made!

If you look at the story in an emotionless way then it is 'La Dame aux Camélias' meets contemporary music in an abundantly colourful background.
Only I can't look at it emotionlessly. It is just too spectacularly wonderful!
For me, this film lets euphoria take possession of me! It flows all through me and I feel sadness and bliss at the same time as it has me both smiling and crying ecstatically. It makes me yearn for "La grande passion" and, at the same time, feel that passion through Satine and Christian.
This is perfection!
