Star Trek Beyond Trailer

[Dr. Collin McGee]

7th., here's the new trailer. I know its just clips, but, it looks like it may be another heavy on SFX and thin on story. Either way, the trailer left me with, "uh, yeah..." LOL

 

 

discuss among yourselves...

Can we please have one jj-verse movie where the Enterprise doesn't get completely Rekt?

I am not sure what to think of this trailer...it looks like potential garbage.

[VADM Kor]

I'll go see it but I am now prepared to be disappointed.  Oh well.

not directed by jj .. wtf omg boo hiss *throws garbage at screen*

Not as jazzed to see this one as previous entries; I agree, it'd be nice to not have a movie where the ship gets totally trashed.

 

Curious to find out if this is during or after their 5 year mission; I suspect during, as the one alien spouts, "This is where the frontier pushes back."

directed by jj, not directed by jj... you might be being sarcastic, but I'm sure there's people who would seriously agree with the fact that its going to suck because now jj isn't involved, and they are probably all the same people who didn't like it when he was.  Old fanbois with fond memories from their youth won't be happy until their personal fan-fiction gets made into a movie.

The new movies are just a mixed bag over all.  You wont be able to make everyone happy in this instance, either make something that will appease the older fan base and turn off the general population, or make a movie that will catch the general populations interest for all of 2.5 seconds and piss off the older fan base.  Im just shocked at all of the hate towards Sabotage and the Beastie Boys in the youtube comments.

 Wouldn't surprise me if it's the same group of folks that utterly frothed at the mouth that "Enterprise" had a theme song with lyrics.

I agree with you wholeheartedly!!! This Washington Post Op Ed piece, entitled "‘Star Trek’ is now basically ‘Fast and Furious’ in space", pretty much sums up how I feel about these movies.

 While he is certainly entitled to his Op, I definitely do not agree with it.

For Lin now to push that even further just tells you how far the series has departed from its roots. The older "Star Trek" was slower to violence, quicker to introspection, more deeply embedded in its fictional universe, less devoted to knee-jerk emotional appeals. It had complicated characters, powerful narratives and grappled with mature issues without being pedantic. These qualities are largely lacking in the newer films.

Those were also set in a different contextual universe; yes, there had been war throughout its history, but mostly wars with enemies roughly on par, technologically speaking. The introduction of the Nerada and its much more advanced tech and the threat it presented changed their outlook and mindset. That, and the destruction of Vulcan, too.

This article provides some interesting thought on the matter: blog post (not mine)

I'll wait to reserve judgement on it, and really, how many "good" trek movies are there really? lol

 Depends on whether or not you're wearing your rose-colored glasses - though some even stink with those on.
