I will see it, liked the first 2. Star Trek is finally interesting.

I don't care about Abrams' interpretation of Star Trek. He can do whatever he wants in his parallel universe. I watched the first two new ST movies on TV, didn't like them, will skip all future films.

But to be honest, most of the earlier movies weren't good either, at least in my opinion. Of all the ST movies ever made up to now, I only liked "First Contact".

"Star Trek 2017" on the other hand, the upcoming TV show with writers and producers from TNG/DS9/VOY, will (hopefully) be the real deal for people like Veknoid_Outcast and me.



I'm definitely planning on watching Beyond when it comes out! I loved the reboots and I'm sure I'll love this one too!

If he had not saved Star Trek it was dead in the water^ Do you not see that?

And Into Darkness was great! Way better than the first reboot. Made more money as well I believe. They learned they cannot depend on Trekkers to keep the franchise alive. So they did what most of the world wanted, action packed. What is the Star Trek saying? Something of the few for the good of the many? Spock said it. Nobody wants boring science drivel anymore.

I didn't know Interstellar and The Martian flopped! Actually according to Google they both made about 1.5x that of Into Darkness.
But true if we get a decent new series out of it than thanks JJ.

Those were by no means boring though. :^)

Well you seemed to imply hard scifi is boring, but Interstellar is about as hard scifi as it gets while still remaining a good story.  And the top two of Star Trek's original six movies - Wrath of Khan and and The Undiscovered Country - are not boring and have action.

Personally, I don't think the new ones are as shallow as many say, especislly Into Darkness.  I also love how some complain the new ones are too blatant with their thematic parallels with real world events.  And I'm like, hello?  The original films were SUPER BLATANT with that.

Mods, please close this thread, spurgeonryan just created it to hate on pre-Abrams Star Trek. :-p

Well, what's boring science drivel in that case?

I agree with Nuvendil, Wrath of Khan and Undiscovered country are my favourites. Not boring, not packed with action and quippy one liners either. First Contact was great too although a bit heavy on the in jokes to work as a standalone movie. I never got the love for the voyage home, it's cute yet there were far better time travel episodes in the series.

I think my main problem with the new movies is Zachary Quinto. He simply sucks as Spock and I can't unsee Sylar in his performance.
