This 2013 Star Trek movie was such a mess I couldn't sit through the whole thing. Apparently now Khan and Spock are essentially super-human in their abilities, able to take great falls and make huge leaps with ease. Nothing about this thing really works, from the reveal that the supposed villain is Khan (a name unknown in this timeline) to the herky-jerky filming. It's very popular on IMDB but I disagree.

Not recommended.

For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them. They only favored music that I specifically and particularly hated, and I wanted them dead. Suddenly, there was another avenue. I started hearing my stuff coming out of bars and then it started to happen little by little -- a movie song here or a TV ad there.
