Re: Star Trek Beyond
The Star Trek reboot movies have nailed it, they've knocked all of the dust off this aging franchise and got rid of all the boring elements. When the original series aired, it tried to be as fun as could be with what resources they had and if anything can be called the "spirit" of Star Trek, then fun is it. The masses don't really know the old show(s) very well, but all of the elements from it that have made their way into the public consciousness have already been used up, basically. The Tholians and the Gorn are pretty much all they have left. I thought it was a bit early, last time, to trod out Khan, it seemed like they should've saved that for sequel #4, maybe, when the series starts to sag, a bit. But I'm definitely interested to see what's done in #3 and I hope that Justin Lin brings plenty of High Octane, High Voltage action for this outing. Beyond has got to be mind blowing and I'm confident that he's up to the challenge. This is going to be good!

Whats your honest opinions on this guys???

Re: Star Trek Beyond
A Star Trek reboot is not Star Trek, so I don't care about it.

Re: Star Trek Beyond
Trailer looks bad, like what is even happening. Justin Lins Fast and Furious movies were ****, I don't care how much they made.
Be amazed if this is any good. |
Re: Star Trek Beyond
I would've loved an actual "prequel" of the original Star Trek using young actors.
Instead, what we got was a concurrent "splinter" reality with a parallel universe retcon and alternate continuity carbon copies of all the characters, meaning the characters were no longer unique since there was now at least two versions of every one of them. i.e. Everything we ever knew about the original Star Trek universe may as well have never happened and can now be thrown away since it's all been replaced by a copy - and as we know with copies, their quality degrades with every subsequent replication. |
Re: Star Trek Beyond
Just for fun... if they ever do a prequel for ST The Next Generation, will James McAvoy play young Jean Luc Picard?
(Get it? Get it? Huh? Huh?) ;) |

Re: Star Trek Beyond
The tone in this is sooooo much different than the other 2 movies. It was a mistake getting someone like Justin Lin for this. It looks like its gonna be Fast & Furious in Space......I guess Star Trek beat Fast & Furious to it...

I'm sure you guys seen this trailer for a fan funded, possible Star Trek series, that never was picked up for syndication Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjeX5drV9ms The full movie is on YouTube and legit. I watched the movie a few weeks ago. Loved the concept and characters, the script needed work but at least it existed within the Star Trek universe and not the JJAMBRAMS universe! |

Wasn't Star Trek a TV show in the late 60s? Why would some random series of books somehow be the definitive version of the material? Did Roddenberry write all these books? I don't think he did. Sounds like fan-fiction to me! ;) RE: Star Trek:Renegades. I was hoping this would be good, but i couldn't even make it through the entire film. :( |

I wish Patrick Stewart could live forever.

I had to look up the Tom Hardy reference - but he played Shinzon in Star Trek Nemeis (2002). Shinzon was a clone of Jean Luc Piccard. So Tom Hardy was also playing a younger version of Patrick Stewart! |
Re: Star Trek Beyond
Oh, I get it now, you guys are too clever for me:p

The trailer is boring and derivative, and it seems this latest movie will only trample that much more on what I used to love about Star Trek.
Honestly, with the tremendous popularity of television dramas these days—and the incredible openness that audiences have shown the fantasy and sci-fi genres—why isn't there a new Star Trek series on television? Paramount really should jettison this big-budget, action-packed malarky and take a slower, more intellectual approach. I bet Netflix would jump at the opportunity to reboot Star Trek on the small screen. |
