So the trailer's out ( www.iwatchstuff.com/2008/11/someone_who_pays_to_see_movies.php ) What does everyone think? I was somewhat interested in seeing it prior to the trailer. Now that I've seen the trailer, I want to see it.....even less. I know I'll end up seeing it, but the trailer really doesn't "make" me want to see it. It really just feels like a jumble of scenes (minus the first few scenes that talks about Kirk and Spock) I'm looking forward to see where Kirk and Spock have been prior to the Enterprise, but beyond that...I really couldn't care less. Anyone else? |

You know all those interviews they did with the writers, where they did nothing but talk about how they tried to stick to the originals and get everything perfect?
What movie were they talking about? Because this isn't it. Fact wise, maybe.

I'm probably the biggest Star Trek fan on this board (nothing to brag about, I know) and this trailer made me lose all hope in this movie. This trailer isn't what Star Trek is about. Personally, if they really wanted to make a Star Trek movie, they should have done one on Deep Space Nine based on the re-launch novels, which take place right after the series finale of DS9. Those books are excellent and could def. translate to the big screen.

I am interested in seeing the Spock/Kirk relationship develop, but there's nothing about that trailer that sparks my interest Star Trek wise. The CGI looks great, but can someone please tell Micheal Bay and JJ Abram that explosions doesn't equal great movies.

Honestly, this reminds me a lot about Lost in Space. I was incredibly excited about seeing an update and it ended up being just atrocious. Poor trekies.

I spent way, way too much time in Vegas at the Hilton's Star Trek setup. I visited it every single day for like 4 days and spent the entire day there one day. I have a tri-dimensional chess set (complete with tribbles) sitting in my bay window. I'm at work so I can't see this trailor. Now I can't wait to get home to look at it. |

As sad as I sounds, I'd love to watch a Trek Off.
I've already seen a Star Wars Off, and kicked some major ass in a Batman Off and Spiderman Off.
Thats alot of offs......

I've been a big fan of Trek for a long time. Well, up through DS9. Everything after that, including Voyager has been piss poor. A couple of the TNG mvoies were OK, but everything else has been bad. I had hopes for this, but the trailer let me down a lot. Plus, this story has pretty much been told all it needs to be told. I would rather see Star Trek break new ground, rather than re-write the past. The only thing that impressed me was how awesome Sylar looks as Spock.
I went to the ST experience in Vegas, and really enjoyed it. Too bad it is being shut down.

I thoght Voyager sucked too. They totally destoryed the awesomeness of the Borg; even their re-launch novels (that take place after the series finale) was dreadful. They just hired a new author to try and spare whatever they could from those novels. The only good thing that happend in the novel was Chakotay becoming Captain.

I read tons of the TNG novels and OS, and even a few DS9 ones. But I would never read a Voyager novel.

The DS9 re-launch novels are the best novels around IMO. You have one cross over character from TNG in Ro Lauren (who is AWESOME in these series of novels), you have Commander Vaughn (another awesome character that has appeared in many ST novels), and then the usual DS9 characters (Kira, Dax, Bashir, Jake, Kassidy, Nog, Quark) along with some newer, very interesting characters like Shar, Prynn, Bowers... then you have the return of a couple of DS9 originals

Ok, I was hyperventilating at the end of that post but then read the Wiki article about how it's moving to a mall in Vegas. I loved that place. It was the best thing about Vegas to me. Voyager was OK, but there wasn't anything outstanding about it. The last couple of TNG movies sucked on ice. I don't understand why they don't do a movie picking up a year or two after DS9. When we leave DS9, Cassidey is knocked up, Sisko has promised to return (maybe), Odo has promised to possibly return, Kira is in command of a space station where Bashir and Dax still work and Worf has gone off to be the Federation ambassador to the Klingon empire. It seems to me that there's a lot of possible storylines to explore there. |

If you like, I could tell you what happens via PM |

Will do.
Also, TRW, have you read the New Frontier series? It's such a breath of fresh air but stays true to what Star Trek should be.
