Had the chance to see this film in a sneak preview on Wednesday. As I loved the first one I was really eagerly awaiting this one. Unfortunately High Voltage is way beyond Crank. More shaky camera, more useless cuts, more strange movie logic (and I do like films like The net for example ;-), but less story. In some parts I got the feeling, the director wanted to exceed the first part at all costs. Until the end it got more and more ridiculous. After the movie I felt quite exhausted, not because it's a hell of a roller-coaster ride (it sure has its moments), but more because it felt like a thrown together bunch of incoherent, sometimes stupid scenes, just for the fun of it. Overall no complete waste of time, but not really a good film in my opinion.
I'm not going into too much detail here, but i think it's one of the best Star Trek movies so far. In addition to most other ST movies, this one got some really convincing character "scenes". And it has some really brilliant Borg scenes alongside with humor and great special effects.
Sorry, but this is the most boring, stilted, non-enjoyable ST movie of them all. I'm really a big ST fan, but all this meta-matter stuff and oh-so-angry Kirk/Kirk's son story isn't really enjoyable. For me it's the worst ST movie. By far, as the summary says
