I'm sure the man's a fine storyteller and director, but I don't think I want a gritty R-rated Star Trek movie.
I feel like they just need to wait a few years and reboot it with an entirely new cast and premise. I'm sorry, but this trilogy has been a disaster, all they did was turn a smart sci-fi franchise into a generic dumb action series. The original cast (Kirk, Spock, etc.) is way to iconic to recast, they need to just continue in the original timeline with a new ship and crew. They can still have action, but they need to focus less on making it a huge-scale blockbuster and more on making it thought-provoking and smart; with interesting situations and dynamics between characters. I honestly wouldn't mind a lower budget drama-style film. I disagree with the common notion that Star Trek can't be slow and smart in 2017. Arrival just came out last year, and that wasn't a fast-paced blockbuster.
