Judging an entire series based just on how the ship looks? Okay.

So me saying the trailer looks awful means I have automatically decided the show will be too?

Well, it's a way of interpreting what I wrote, I guess.

 

[Octoberist]

It is funny that the ship and the design work hasn't been consistently stellar either prior to the JJ-verse. Samething with the interiors, with the beige walls and arcade carpet.

 

[DKDetective]

No. It's in the old continuity between TOS and TNG.

Are we sure it is between TOS and TNG? Based on the design of the ship and the registry number, it looks like it is between ENT and TOS.

Even Jonathan Frakes hates that finale these days.

 

[Marvolo]

Which finale are yall talking about?

 

[The Chris]

That awful Star Trek: Enterprise ending?

 

[Loki882]

These Are The Voyages aka "how to bury a franchise for nearly a decade."

That had just as much to do with Star Trek: Nemesis to be fair.

It's a design that was being considered for the Star Trek: Phase II series that never came to fruition. That would place it toward the latter half of Kirk's career.

Yeah, it will be set in the prime universe between Star Trek : Undiscovered Country and TNG. Which means that everything in Enterprise and TOS should be canon and Vulcan is till there.

God, how does one destroy Vulcan, a founding member ? I mean seriously !? I liked Star Trek 2009, but destruction of Vulcan and Nero are just two things I wish to forget and never think of again, kind of like what happened to Carol Marcus in ST : Beyond.

Bryan Fuller himself denied that rumor of the stuff between Star Trek VI and TNG.

[tanita_mors]

interesting. i thought it was an already confirmed common knowledge. well, either way we will find out soon enough.

 

[Mysteryman]

Yeah at that point StarTrek had reached a temporary period of over saturation.

 

[titansupes]

Just got out of the cinema-- Completely great ride. As expected, it does feel a bit like a large scale TV episode, but it's so damn good it doesn't matter. Character interactions were so on point.

 

[Lord]

Surprised some are suggesting it being a large scale TV episode might be taking some points from the film. I thought that was what people wanted, something more in line with the spirit of Original Series episodes.

 

[Loki882]

Depends on how it's done. For example TMP and Insurrection kind of felt like stretched out TV episodes as well. But unlike here, those other ones didn't really work imo.

Because when given what they want some people are still not satisfied with the results. Nothing will ever satisfy some people and when you do satisfy some, then everyone else complains how it left them disappointed.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

More like those that wanted it are fine with it and silent. Those that wanted Star Trek by the way of Star Wars are not and thus are making noise. Nobody wants the same things. Not on the internet.

 

[BlackFox]

Thought this was pretty decent, not exactly game changing but entertaining enough and had some create character chemistry. The main plot and villain were a bit meh but not bad either so a decent cinema experience.

Not being a big Trek fan I cant really say whether its a good "Star Trek" film or not but it did fine for me. 7.7/10

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Seeing this tomorrow night, can't wait.

 

[Lord]

Have yet to see the film, but i was thinking about something with the Star Trek film series. Are the long waits between each new film in the reboot helping it not realy stand out at the box-office? Wait between first 2 was 4 years and for the following film was 3 years.

 

[DKDetective]

Well, that's the modern world of internet "journalism" for you where entertainment news outlets report rumours like fact...

 

[mclay18]

The movie was enjoyable, but the plot is rather slight and too much of Lin's action tendencies. The hand-to-hand combat and even the Enterprise action sequences were cut to pieces. It's refreshingly void of Orci and Kurtzman's ham-fisted writing, but it seemed that Simon Pegg & Doug Jung tried to make it less Trek-like but tried to keep the OS roots in place. It's not a movie I'd want to see again, it's just rather 'eh.' Idris Elba is rather wasted as the villain, even Benedict Cumberbatch had more to do in STID.

But Sofia Boutella was absolutely magnetic as Jaylah. She's one of the new characters that absolutely clicked, and acting-wise, she's a star. She is so good she even upstages Chris Pine and Karl Urban.

 

[TheVileOne]

I totally agree with mclay18 on how the action was shot. It was too much for a Star Trek movie.
