If they get the idea, I'll happily take credit for it.  Regardless of how you might feel, the Kelvin Trilogy was very well received, with a level of consistency that Star Trek was previously unable to attain on the Big Screen.  Bring on Next Gen Kelvin, as well as DS9 and VOY.

Those films are just sci fi with a Star Trek name but not Star Trek.

If I ever need to sort out the true Scotsmen from those who aren't true Scotsmen, I'm sure you'll be very helpful.

Star Trek pretty much perfect

star trek into darkness amazing

star trek beyond was terrible

star trek 4 please get it right

I remember enjoying them, but also don't remember anything about the movies beyond Alice Eve in her underwear. So, I'm guessing the franchise wasn't really worth continuing.



The Orville is the true Star Trek successor and Season 3 looks awesome.



Bite my shiny metal cockpit!

I just hope that they have a good science fiction story to tell with this one. I have zero interest in another "Wrath of Khan" villain of the week style film. I'm not against those types of films happening, I really liked Star Trek 2009, but now we've had 4 in a row (including Nemesis) and a 5th isn't something I'd be particularly interested in. Nothing against people who liked those films, but I didn't find Into Darkness or Beyond to be particularly interesting because they felt like more of the same.

I'm also not against having a big villain either if they put them behind an interesting story like The Undiscovered Country.

What I'd really love to see, though, is a City from the Edge of Forever remake. It's a great classic Star Trek story that deserves an update, and can probably be reworked into something grittier and more fresh feeling than the 1960s version. It asks a question that's no less uncomfortable today than it was in the 60s. I'd love to see how a modern filmmaker would tackle it - just as long as they're allowed creative freedom to explore something that might agitate the public rather than something that just appeals to the lowest common denominator. I'd love a quality modern film that got people up in arms saying "this is too political for Star Trek" and "Star Trek isn't meant to have _____!" while making a a genuinely compelling film and asking the sorts of questions classic Kirk-era Star Trek asked.
