New Star Trek Movie

[Elok]

The Voyage Home, Wrath of Khan, The Final Frontier, Undiscovered Country say Hi.

I was thinking primarily of the TV series, but fine. I never said there hadn't been ****ty Star Trek movies before; most of them seem to have been crap. I object to the notion that the reboot wasn't one of them. I never saw IV and V because of their rumored crumminess, and it's been decades since I saw VI.

As for TWOK, while it didn't explore any deep philosophical themes--score one for DD there--it had a serious leg up on its recent imitator insofar as it made coherent sense. All the actions the characters took were believable in light of their personalities and what they knew, and the technological conceits were consistent. There wasn't, for example, that problem where everybody in Starfleet knew Kirk Senior's story--it's clearly famous from the way Spock talks, Pike even knows exactly how many minutes the guy was in charge--but Kirk has to personally remind them of it because whole shiploads conveniently forgot it, along with apparently all of their top brass. Did they even read the script before shooting?

And yeah, TOS had godawful SFX, rotten acting, uneven dialogue, etc. The only thing to like about it was its infectiously hopeful humanistic faith in a brighter science-driven future. I'm a cynic and I think that's all BS, but it's fun to sojourn in that mindset for a while. Oh, and the aforementioned willingness to go out on a limb philosophically. I expect that kind of thing from Star Trek. If I want mindless action, hell, there's a billion comic-book movies better suited to that sort of thing, and nonsensical plots are traditional there.

Thought-provoking in a finger-wagging "don't do bad" kind of way perhaps. Only a few episodes in DS9 managed to truly thought-provoking. Then again, that series also was lambasted for being a betrayal of Roddenberrry.

I said TOS. The Original Series. But never mind that. I'd take any level of thought-provoking over Kirk risking everybody's lives to waste a dude who was clearly going to die anyway, all for the sake of dumb machismo.

Oh that's rich for a person who makes a living off others suffering and pain.

...leaving aside that this makes no sense, don't you work in healthcare too?

After careful consideration, I've decided that I don't like you, and would be very happy if you would kindly go **** yourself.

no rose tinted glass
star trek always was what it was
but now it's just like every other turd CGI bull**** movie out nowadays

There's been maybe like 5 good movies in the last 10 years. And 2 were Tarantino flicks.

Everything else is garbage for autistics

you are a terrible person for the most part
it pains me that you agree with me
but having said that, i'd still probably enjoy hanging out with you

especially if it involves shooting stuff
