Star Trek Beyond

[YoNoSe]

Assuming this one makes money, which it likely would have anyway, I don't know why they would stop. Audiences in general seem to enjoy them and don't seem to care how long in between.

 

[The Ween]

Neither do I.

It's just a crass rumor.

Reminds me of Randy Quaid and his "star whackers" or whatever he called them.

Can you believe there are people mad because he won't be in the new ID4 movie? No one is going to hire that nutjob!

There's also the small matter that his character was pretty definitively killed in the first one.

Very sad news.
I really liked him in the Fright Night remake.

3 years between franchised movies is about average these days it seems.

Me too! I was a big fan of the original "Fright Night," but I appreciated his take on the Charlie Brewster character in the remake. It was similar enough to the original version that it respected the original, and different enough that he made it interesting to watch and not just a re-hash of the original.
He seemed like he always contributed something interesting with his characters, even when he had the unenviable task of occasionally appearing in bad movies. He always seemed to bring his A-game. It's really a shame his life was cut so short. He had already turned in some great performances, and had he been given the chance, I think we would have seen a lot more from him.

Where did you hear this? I've never read anything about it being the last one.

I also read that somewhere but wasn't sure of the reliability of the source. It might have been in the context of STID's panning and the Beyond rewrites and negative reception to the trailers.

Anton was one the most likable and talented guy of his génération.
This is really a sad loss.
Check out ODD THOMAS and GREEN ROOM(with also Patrick Stewart playing a merciless aryan leader) two great "little" movies where he shines.
Really sad.

Yup! Maybe they thought he would come back as an alien though DNA since he said he was abducted and experimented on him in the first one. Who knows?

I just want this terrible "reboot" to end already.

he's right though

I just watched Into Darkness for only the second time. Some good moments and character exchanges interspersed with a remaining 90% content ranging from crap to embarrassing.

If it didn't think it was a branch of the pre-existing Star Trek my reaction to it would be far less harsh. Problem is they didn't go full reboot, they tied it into the original series and films (using Leonard Nimoy) and by extension to the rest of Trek aswell....and it is incompatible in almost every way possible. As its own thing it could have been fine but as it stands I watch it and all I can think is ''that's not Kirk, that's not Khan, that's not the Enterprise, that's not how a phaser shoots, Kronos is not 2 ****ing minutes away from Earth at warp'' etc etc. Again, as its own thing all of this would have been fine, it wouldn't have mattered.

What I would keep from these films in a true version of Star Trek the younger years would be Karl Urban's McCoy and maybe Quinto's Spock. I think I'd jettison everything else.

 

[The Ween]

I like the films. The only thing I can say I didn't like about Into The Darkness was the casting of Cumberbatch as Khan. He was a good villain, but a bad Khan.

 

[Prime Clone]

The comic book even felt the need to explain his Caucasian-ness (through surgery). The alternate reality was a good enough explanation for me.

I enjoyed the first one much more than Into Darkness. I'm sorry, but this crew has not earned Khan. The effect of Khan in Star Trek 2 came after years of the. Few being together and sharing adventures. This is the second feature with the new crew and they barely seem like friends.

 

[EVILFACE]

Nu Khan had nothing on Old Skool Khan

New Khan sucked balls compared to old Khan.

 

[YoNoSe]

Nothing could ever compare to Mad Max Fantasy Island in Space Submarines.

But I still like Into Darkness.

 

[The Ween]

This is pretty neat. I'd like a reboot version as well.....
