Star Trek Beyond Trailer
I'm not one of the trekkies that is Anti-JJ or the JJ-Verse and I will defend Star Trek 2009 with every fibre because I actually think that's a pretty awesome Star Trek Movie (there's flaws in it, but they don't detract from the over-all quality of it).
Into Darkness I struggle to watch because It's just so horribly written and just makes a mockery of Star Trek. The thing is that Into Darkness had awesome trailers and I was confident the film would live up to that, obviously I was wrong.
Trailers are trailers are trailers are trailers and they often prove to me misleading and it's impossible to judge the quality of the final movie based on a trailer.
That said I think it's pretty obvious that they are trying to go with a Guardians of The Galaxy style more "fun" movie this time round and it actually looks like it could be good and if it didn't have a Star Trek skin we might all much more positive about it.
The movies are always going to be a more action-packed popcorn throw-away commodities and my advice would simply be to enjoy the JJ-verse for what it is and save judgement for the real Trek which belongs on the small screen and hopefully we'll see return in 2017.
I also don't buy into this ideal that the JJ-verse Star Trek is dying or is unsuccessful. Despite poor reviews Star Trek Into Darkness made over 400 million dollars world-wide at the box office, over double it's budget. That's an amazing success and nobody should be under any illusions on the subject.
I think some of us older-time Star Trek fans need to realise that we have no god-given right to be the only people in the world to decide if something is good enough to be Star Trek. The new generation of Star Trek fans I imagine will love the JJ-Verse and wouldn't be able to sit through an episode of TNG without their eyes flicking to their nearest handheld device.
I'm excited for what the future holds for Star Trek. I just hope the writing is more 2009 and less Into Darkness.
Also Chris Pine is hawt, he has a new funky hair cut.
