Star Trek Beyond

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Wow. No words. I really hope their new TV series isn't so silly and stupid as this rebooted movie series proved to be.

God forbid ST does something silly....it'd be a first.

I do like the characters in this new Trek, for the most part. They're fun and - well, essentially caricatures of the originals - but fun. I haven't been all that impressed with the stories, though.

Have to say, despite how many people like the new uniforms, I think they look like crap. The big black collars are pure TOS. Without them, it just looks rather bland.

How much does anyone want to bet - and I'm not putting this in spoiler tags because I have zippo inside knowledge - that there will be some sore of "reset" device at the end of the move that restores everything back to how it was? It'd be very Voyager/TNG of them.

I'm excited for this. Though I didn't care for the second one as much as the first, this looks like it may make up for it.

Well, there is a bit of a difference between a 60s TV show budget and a 2015 blockbuster movie budget.

They officially gave up on this franchise.

Rest in peace, Star Trek. *1966 - 2005*
I've been, and always shall be, your fan.

You could say they've gone beyond Star Trek.

I thought the song made sense. It was the same song Kirk was listening to when he was a kid in the first film.

I think Kara's referring to the original show and films, not the fist film of the reboot . I've seen every Trek series to date, every movie, and the song seems out-of-place in tone.

Fixed.

Because Enterprise is better off forgotten .

Because Enterprise is better off forgotten .

At least it tried to be Star Trek while making something original.
I'd take STE over reboot any day.

 

[Solidus]

Can't argue with that .

I just think it fits with the reboot. It's more fun, less philosophical and about science, and more about the action adventure, which might not be traditional ST, but it fits with the reboot, which is what this sequel follows, not the original series. They'll probably use the song in the film, GOTG style

I love the Beastie Boys as Earth-history.

I'm an original series fan that disliked the previous two Abrams films but this doesn't look all bad. Here's what's good ; they're doing something new, not time travel with an old character, not a direct remake with the same villain. They are exploring a new world and the movie isn't focusing heavily on Earth. Star Trek needs to be out on the new frontiers of space and this is getting that right. They have tons of different aliens in the trailer and not just a bunch of humans. There doesn't seem to be focus on Uhura but where it belongs with Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Scotty.

My biggest concern with the trailer is the destruction of the Enterprise happening so early on. You can't explore many strange new worlds with no ship so I'm hoping she won't go down until at least the 2nd act. I get that by the 3rd original film she was a goner too but that was also after 3 full seasons of exploration. I hope the next Enterprise isn't so easily wrecked and Kirk can defend her a bit better. I want the Captain Kirk that knows every trick in the book and can defend his ship against almost any threat. I just want to spend more time aboard one of my favorite characters.

I see your concern but I'm betting there will be a new ship by act 3 or the Enterprise will return via...time travel!

I thought they'd made another Blade Runner/Atari mistake by showing Nokia in the future, but maybe it survives in the Abramsverse!

 

[GasparZizou]

That trailer, it was weeeeeird.

And it dropped at the wrooooong time they should've waited till the Star Wars hype died off, it would have had a better shot then, what were they thinking?

 

[Prime Clone]

I've heard it will be attached to TFA...

Me too. Been a ST fan all my life. I love it all.

Yep, that trailer was completely generic & utterly forgettable.

..& I also liked 'Enterprise'.
