I should start this by saying I am a Star Trek (ST) fan, but over the years we have had so many variations of Shows, that I am, or considered myself to be open minded when it comes to anything ST related.
My biggest issues with this movie is that I simply do not know who this movie is aimed for. As a ST fan, and as other reviews reflect, it's certainly not made for ST fans, which is fine, and equally, it also doesn't seem to be for people new to the ST world.
It's not faithful to the ST world, in terms of Look/feel, lingo, design, etc coupled with weak characters and development and a poor story, is never going to win anybody over.
I would love to know who the producers/studios thought they were aiming for when them commissioned this rubbish.

Being a Brit, not sure if I just don't "get" this movie or if there are cultural differences that just dont translate across the pond.
This movie is about the little man taking on the big awful corporation, and could have been a great story to tell if done properly, similar to the movie "Percy" with Christopher Walken, but it misses the mark.
Race is a major theme throughout this movie and I just don't get why. It doesn't add anything to the movie, story is not based on anything racial, and seems like a lazy writing attempt to tackle a sensitive subject.
This is also supposed to be a drama/thriller, but is too whimsical to successfully deliver up that genre, not really a comedy either, just missing the mark.
In short; this movie is bit of a mess for my liking. Poorly written, lost storytelling where it just fizzles out. Avoid it, not worth your time.

As a few other reviewers have mentioned, this is the telling of an average, unoriginal ghost story, but it is well acted, filmed, good sets etc, but the let down for me, was the actual showing of the Ghost. It was shown for too long onscreen, which meant that actually you could study it and in really was just poorly executed.
I thought the two kid actors were great and am surprised that they have not archived bigger things after this movie.
Overall, it is worth a watch as it an enjoyable movie, but you'll certainly not loose sleep at night over it and will most probably forget about it as soon as the credits roll.
