Georgy Zhukov Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 J.J. Abrams went on to do bigger and better things and the guy who directed Fast and Furious 3 to 6 will take over. Trailer doesn't reveal much but it does seem promising. The last two films were entertaining and fairly successful. I might go see it.

AtariLegend Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Basically Guardians of Galaxy. Not Star Trek.Really wish they could make a proper new TV show, set after Deep Space 9/Voyager. It all went down the drain after Enterprise started airing. Nemesis was rubbish, but at least it was Star Trek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No inter-planet teleportation and no Khan super-blood. That said, I feel better about this film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no interest in seeing a Star Trek show based upon JJ's universe or along the same kind of tone assuming it is. J.J. is not involved and Kurtzman is listed as the executive producer so I doubt he will be writing the episodes like he did the last 2 Star Trek movies. From what I read an Executive Producer usually handles the business side of things while the Producer handles the actual show content so he may not have that much influence on content. Besides already has two very successful TV shows so I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and see what he comes up with before I make a judgement.

31illusions Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 As an avid Trekker, I will watch, enjoy and buy this movie. The trailer looks great, but the story line doesn't look that exciting.I think this one may make less money than the last 2. But then again, I don't watch movies based on gross profits either.So we'll see..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) I have not commented because my thoughts are self evident. Unless they, running the risk of sounding like the guy who runs a comic book shop in the simpsons, 'set the series in the main time frame'!As for the film, I refuse to see it. I've not actually seen the second one after the abomination that was the first film. Edited December 18, 2015 by DieselDaisy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Well it is just my opinion but I found it absolutely horrid. Terrible. I had it on dvd and stuck it in the charity collection bin next to my local boozer. It is a travesty of a film, an appalling and highly offensive piss take on everything that makes Trek great: the Utopian vision, the purity of science-fiction and concentration in characterization and story development. The reboot takes this and has a colossal shit on it, turning Trek into Beverly Hills 90210 crossed with Star Wars. Roddenberry? fuck him. Sorry to be so blunt but, to like the reboots is to hate Star Trek. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to be so blunt but, to like the reboots is to hate Star Trek. Well, I disagree wholeheartedly, do you think the studio should still make crap like "Nemesis"? A movie that made 30 million but cost 30 million to make?Using JJ to bring new blood into the Legacy is the best thing they could have done. That is why He got chosen to do Star Wars. Making movies Bigger,Better and more Bad-Ass is what fans want and that's what they got. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I could not give two shits on how successful a film is (same with music). I can only judge a film as it is presented to me personally, who will only add one more person to the statistic (assuming I decide not to see it multiple times). My viewing experience is personal to myself. Whether a film made 500 billion or five pence is absolutely irrelevant to me. Van Gogh only sold one painting during his lifetime. Nemesis was a poor outing but at least it was poor within the continuum and can be thus dismissed as a disappointing outing of the tv show. It was poor. I am certainly not going to sit here and defend films like Genesis and Insurrection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is, they were two of the highest-grossing and best-reviewed films of the entire franchise, and both audiences and critics alike enjoyed them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Nobody is denying the fact that the franchise was on its last legs before Abrams - in truth, it had been on the wane since Voyager. But that does not justify a reboot truly as bad as the one we got. Or to put it another way, the poor quality of Nemesis does not inherently justify the abomination that is Star Trek (2009). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bono Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Ha! Star Trek 2009 was great and all I'm seeing is someone trying to pretend it's one of the most awful films ever. Horrid? Abomination? Travesty? Appaling? Offensive piss take? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumblefeet Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Star Trek (2009) and Into Darkness are two entertaining action movies, what they have to do with Star Trek and sci-fi I'm still unsure about, but they were entertaining. I still find the whole reboot thing weird because those actors had no TV show and nothing to me can replace that bond between the characters that was strongest on TNG and TOS.Star Trek wasn't happening anymore in the early 00s. For me, the first death blow was "Enterprise", which decided to do the prequel thing (why?) and abandon the universe set up by TNG, voyager and DS9. I'm still glad I got to grow up with TNG, DS9 and Voyager on the tube as there were some excellent episodes. To have no Star Trek on television but a watered down slick looking action adventure version in the theatre every odd year feels like a missed opportunity. Which is why I laugh at the title "Beyond". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron MikeyJ Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I agree with DD and Bumblefeet. Perhaps they are good, entertaining films, but Star Trek they are not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
