Star Trek Beyond - Part 1

[Consona]

I just hope that this Star Trek gonna be a proper sci-fi film at last... t: Not just some pew pew action flick...

Considering how the last one made more money than any of the other movies I don't see Paramount changing how it does things

Link to the Spock shot?

Yep. Big action films are the biggest successes worldwide. That doesn't mean that a film can't be good and have some intelligence but you got to have certain amount of spectacle in your film these days.

Ok upon closer inspection, I really dont like those new Starfleet shirts at all.

 

[Dark Raven]

Not too fond of the high collar on the uniforms either. I prefer the V neck as well.

I don't mind some action but I would like it to have more allegory and to be more intelligent this time round. Bring back some of those aspects which were present in the original series, which wasn't weighed down by technobable either.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I already miss the PJs.

 

[Sawyer]

It just looks so stiff and uptight. Like the s***ty uniforms they gave the TOS crew to wear in the movies, except these aren't red and white turtlenecks.

Yeah the originals were better.

A lot better.

Wrong forum.

 

[Dark Raven]

It should be more not less classic for the 50th anniversary. If they want to change it for the next film, then they can, but they should've left it for this one or gone even more classic like the original series without the chevron weave pattern in it.

More of a plan then DC.

I happen to love the original costumes from the 2009-2013 films so it is disappointing that these new ones are much worse. Now I still do love the jacket ensemble or what have you that is being worn but the regular costumes are a hard pass.

Completely agree. They nailed the update of those original uniforms, and these new ones just look a bit 'blegh' so far.

Yeah thats what they remind me of. And the thicker TNG series uniforms.

One thing that I always loved about the uniforms in JJ's movies was that they werent stuffy and tucked and all prim and proper. As if in the future people realized that stuffy formal suits and ties and thick polyester was pointless for adventurers. Comfort and practicality took precedent while on the ship. Off the ship and at formal meetings they dress up a bit, but while on the ship a simple casual light fleet shirt and simple black casual pants.

Lin has went back to the direction of the uniforms in the TNG, and like you say, the TOS crew movies. And they look as if they dont breathe at all. I bet the actors werent too happy about the uniform redesign either.

 

[Dark Raven]

I wouldn't mind if these were just dress uniforms. Sometimes in the original series they had stiffer versions of their standard tops with high collars. I don't know if these are though, or if they wear them for every day use.

 

[Soapy]

Hard for me to have an opinion on the shirt based solely on that kind of bad picture.

We also got a full shot of the new uniform shirt on Simon Pegg in some set photos.

There is allegory in the new movies....Star Trek Into Darkness is an allegory on the war on terror

Yeah, I get the space PJ jokes, but I too was a big fan of the uniforms from the first two films.

And poorly done at that. A pale reflection of similar explorations of the idea on DS9 and BSG.
