I don't care if this new film has a GotG vibe to it, I just want it to be less derivative than STID and less boring/soulless than most of the Next Generation stuff.
Not a lot of people have ever seen ST:TOS, most would have seen ST:TNG and the later series. AFAIK, it was mostly the original crew in both TV and film who encapsulated the comedy elements very well.Too much jokes in Star Trek??? I guess people forget how Star Trek had joke episodes...the two featuring Harry Mudd, Trouble with Tribbles, Piece of the Action. Hell Voyage Home is pretty much non stop fish out of water jokes the minute they come back to the 80's.

I will reserve judgment untilI see the official version, but, they don't appear to mention the 50th anniversary.
Thats disappointing.

The crew meet Mudd's Women

I agreed.I just finished a marathon of TOS and started a marathon TNG (fist two seasons...yuck)....TOS always had light moments. I think that's the problem though...everyone has seen TNG and think that's what these movies should be like...not realizing that the series is the TOS characters and the TOS series was considered an action adventure series.
I agreed.I used to watch some episodes of TOS throughout the '70s and when TNG came out I enjoyed it, but grew to recognise that the show-runners were deviating a lot from the TOS's charm --swashbuckling adventure.
Hopefully, the third incarnation of the reboot ST will be more enjoyable. I enjoyed the first reboot but the second one, Into Darkness nearly had me nodding off to sleep in the theatre.
I think that I remember reading about it years ago, I'm not surprised that the series carried the traits of its creator at their respective age --psychedelic '60s and 'Morning in 'Murrica' '80s.The captain sets the tone of the series. There's this awesome documentary on Netflix called Chaos on the Bridge...about the first two seasons of TNG. In it they theorize that Roddenberry wrote Kirk and Picard as himself. Picard was older Roddenberry...no longer the womanizer...more thoughtful and less swashbuckler.
finally an adventure ST movie. without dragonball Z destruction third acts. they get 2 tickets from me.
you just can feel that Simon Pegg was one of the writters.up:
dont you all just love all those aliens?
