It is! It's Trek for the 21st century. Star Trek has always been produced for the time it was airing and this is coming off the back the likes if Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead and even West World.

But more importantly, it is post rebooted Battlestar Galactica which came just as Enterprise was on its last legs.

The soap opera days of TNG and Voyager are over, and Deep Space Nine was ahead if its time, and introducing THIS very universe which people are complaining about.

The main difference was that instead of visiting gangster planets such as Freecloud, the gangsters, rogues and flawed humans visited the station each week.

Picard is opening the darker aspects the universe up in ways that Trek has rarely done before, though certainty not never.

Its different, it's modern and whilst yes, it runs at a slower pace that previous Trek, I feel that it proceeds at a pace with allows characters to breath and hopefully grow.

And just to clarify, this is not a new account set up by a corporation to spin Picard. I am a man in 40's who has watched every Trek show since I was 3 years old.

Whilst I love Star Trek I am well aware of its flaws but Picard, whilst not perfect is far from the worst and not deserving of the abuse which it is receiving from so called fans.

This movie is bonkers. History, costume and set design are just thrown to the wolves when it comes to any form if accuracy.

But the film was well paced, action packed and great fun. Like any Robin Hood folk tale should be. Granted, it would have been much better and probably better received if they had taken more care to stick to the time and place which it was set, but as it was, it was a work of pure fantasy.

As long you suspend your disbelief at the door and let this wash over you then you are in for great time. Simply enjoy.
