Frankly, I don't think this film looks very good, and I enjoyed the first two just fine (despite the massive plot problems of the second). It just looks like a generic action flick with little Star Trek- ness to it, and it looks like more of the same ole type of action on top. Looks like it retreads some aspects of the first two. At least I have the score to look forward to. Well, Giacchino said this film was more like classic Star Trek, so that's the type of score he'll be writing. Which would be awesome.

Pieter Boelen 740 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Definitely would! I hope this whole destroying the Enterprise (yet again) isn't too early in the movie so there can be a bit of spacing around first. Can't do so much space exploration without a spaceship, after all. The haters might quite like seeing this particular Enterprise being blown to bits though. leeallen01 and Will 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the fuck are they marketing this to? Well they tried marketing the films to Trek fans for decades and none have made as much money as the recent reboots. Marketing to the masses is just common sense. And the masses these days like fast things, explosions and pop songs combined. They can market it to Star Wars fans for all I care, as long as the film is good, then the Trek fans will be happy, and as long as they get the masses to pay for tickets, then the studio will be happy.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 To be fair, by Deep Space Nine even the TV shows were starting to question Roddenberry's vision of the Federation as a benevolent force.

Pieter Boelen 740 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Questioning it might be Ok. As long as the answer is very clear. Yes, working together (in this case between several planets and species) towards a common goal (in this case space exploration) IS a good thing. Always. Working together like that may not always work out as you'd expect or even want. But not even trying is worse than trying and failing. And whenever it does work, it can lead to incredible results you would not believe possible. You cannot always reach the perfection of that goal. But that does not mean that goal is not worth pursuing. I think the current world would do well to understand that message. So if that is what this movie ends up saying, it would be a win for me!

Pieter Boelen 740 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 @KK: Very much so. And I know that better than I would like to, having experienced the harsh truth of real life quite clearly over the past few years. But it is an ideal to strive for that definitely should be worth it. People need a goal of some sort. So it might as well be a goal that brings the world forward. The fact that the world is admittedly quite sucky right now does not mean we should want it to stay that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 That's not what I meant. I know ST has always celebrated an optimistic view of the future. But if you're going to start an intelligent look at the role of what I assume is an UN-type organization, then I'd hope itd be willing to ask some hard questions in the process. But I don't really know much about Trek, so I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
