(wheels clacking)

We all know about the curse.

Even numbered Trek films are good.

(bell chimes)

Odd numbered Trek films are bad.

(arrow thuds)

But the tenth film, Nemesis, stunk on ice

and it bombed at the box office.

(children booing)

was generally well received

by people less discriminating than me

and it earned a fortune.

(children cheering)

So, has the curse been broken?

You decide.
