Well the critics may influence some people to see or not see the movie but
in the end it will be the fans who make the final decision if it's a good movie
or not.

I think it was Gene Rodenbury who said once that the week that Trek comes out
it is the top grosing movie because all the Star Trek Fans go see it.  It's the
following weeks that tell the story if they like it they go again and bring
their friends.  If they don't like then the draw drops and we know it's a flop.

I've said before that I'm not pleased with the "parallel universe" this
trek runs in but I still enjoy it for what it is.  Though I STILL would like
them the get back to "our universe" somehow.

You know for those that have not been around "FIDO" for as long as I have when
the TV Shows were running and there were four TREK Areas running one for each
of the shows, there were "lurkers" who read FIDO because it told them how they
were doing and what the people though of the shows and the characters.  There
were even rumors that some posted under fake names even though you were (and
still are), required to use your real name when posting, (in most areas). Also
there were rumors that one or two episodes were directly related to posters
personalities in TREK.
