Maxvorstadt: Well, Star Trek died when J.J. Abrams took it in his hands. Star Wars will die too, cause J.J Abrams took it also. So we shouldn`t hope for good SF-Movies from america anymore.
The only solution will be if the Perry Rhodan series will come the cinemas at last. I guess that would blow the whole american SF scene into pieces! :-)
Yes to Perry Rhodan as TV series or a long row of movie adaptations!
My... this could be so awesome if it's not made by American film studios.

vicklemos: :D
When I went to the movies to check the Mario movie I saw Bob there and thought "gosh, it's the guy from that movie Mona Lisa and he's Mario. Whoa!"
Yep. Poor ol' me. Yep, Mona Lisa ain't a movie for kids...
I don't know this movie and will eventually check it out, thanks for the hint.

vicklemos: But I'll say it again: these hero flicks are more of the same, over and over.
And they'll keep destroying amazing universes on and on, trust me.

Like Batman, for instance. Heck, this dude is around for like 70+ years! Cartoons, movies, games, reboots, crossovers, endless memorabilia and costumes... better give him some rest or we'll see "Batman Vs Sir Mark Thatcher: 2004 coup d'etat" or "Batman and the case of the missing dildos" or something :D
Let this folk get out of the "stage of life" so others can shine. But not for more than half a century. Milking franchises and stuff for so long is... I'll stop here. :D
Yep. Grave robbing is bad. They should invent new cool characters and universes instead of milking the last drops of blood out of the grand daddies, but producers know, that the old fanbase will give em money just so they can feel like still being true fanboys, even if those new movie sausages have very little of their old heros in them and usually mangled, shred to pieces and mixed with a lot of shit.

"The Dark Knight" and for the most part "Watchmen" were exceptions though, although they mixed in a lot of unneccessary Hollywood habits in it too.

^This
Nowadays the surprising stuff comes from...
Finland!
Really, the last years it happens quite often that after seeing a new trailer
I hope that its just a not very well done trailer for a parody
i remember my thoughts after first trailer of force awakens where you see this lightsaber "inspired of the middle ages"?
I believed there will be a big reveal some days after from this Person
Did not like the reboot at all and the sequal had so many plot holes it just annoyed me for instance "small spoiler"


"small spoiler"

The enterprise heads to earth and is at warp. It gets hit and drops out at earth but if they did not get shot out of warp does that mean they where going past earth. mind boggles.
It will be interesting to see if anybody dies in this new Star Trek movie since Into Darkness literally cured death with magic blood. And rendered starship travel pointless since you can apparently beam from Earth to Khronos now.

Well, the first one can be explained away with McCoys work on that "magic blood" being confiscated and destroyed or at least ade top secret, since anything having to do with such genetic engineering is banned in the Federation.

As for the second... yeah, that whole "teleport to Kronos" thing did piss me off, and makes no sense. I guess even with such technology you'd still need starships for military reasons, and manned exploration of unknown space, but still, yeah... stupid. I guess it's best to just forget about any longtime repercussions of all that, as they surely already did.
It looks like fun, but definitely not Star Trek. Call it something else. I know, "Space Wars".

Star Trek was originally about discovery, speculation and a little bit of editorial. This has none of that, from what I see. Is there any way of getting that back? Or are we past that in the Sci-Fi genre, and everything is dystopian?

Watch Interstellar.

Nailed it totally there. Probably the best episode of Star Trek I've ever seen come to think of it.

Human drama, space exploration, fights on distant planets, wormholes, it had it all.

Second only to Galaxy Quest IMO.

Yeah well, everything only comes second to Galaxy Quest. Sorry Christopher.

Never give up. Never surrender.

Fire Photon Rockets.
Well it does gives Guardians of the Galaxy vibe, which is terribly bad, bud let's hope its just the trailer for getting on boards youngsters.

And really a Narn? Does the imagination of costumes director run out? And that white girl looks very similar to a tribe in StarGate SG-1, from one of the dullest episodes ever :(

Ooh good point. Not as many hammer-chops to the back as TOS though.

Actually, yeah, Galaxy Quest *nailed* what Star Trek was all about.
This is interesting. Simon Pegg, who wrote the new film, is apparently also displeased with the trailer, and says there is a lot more to the film than it suggests. That gives me hope. Olso, I think it really shows in this bit that working with Paramount on this has been hell for him. He almost seems to be in pain talking about that trailer, and in some interviews with him I read earlier it really showed that he was fighting long and hard against the "make it Guardians of the Galaxy" and having to make comprimises that pained him. It's obvious he didn't get to make it the movie he wanted from the start, but hopefully he managed to save enough to make it worthwile.
