Just when you thought it was safe to go to the movie theaters again, the latest in the "alternate universe" Star Trek films [imdb.com] hits the theaters today. Ars and El Reg have two [arstechnica.com] reviews [theregister.co.uk] of the flick.

El Reg, with its usual caustic brand of British humor, calls it "An unwatchable steaming pile of tribble dung", while Ars describes it thusly: "Trek by numbers is no Trek at all". Both articles do heap praise on Karl Urban's dead-on portrayal of Dr. McCoy. Still, it might be worth watching in the theater, for as as we all know there are is [imdb.com] no [imdb.com] bad [imdb.com] Star [imdb.com] Trek [imdb.com]. Ever [imdb.com]!

As for myself, I think I'll do what I usually do and wait for it to come out on video and see if it is truly targ manure [wikia.com].
