Tuxedo Jack posted:The best thing that Roddenberry ever did for Star Trek was to die. Hell yes. I just hope we get some backstory as to who he is and why this is all happening.

Yonic Symbolism posted:Star Trek has so much baggage from being invented in the 70's. Science, ethics, the current discourse, so much has moved on from then. Battlestar Galactica?

Tuxedo Jack posted:From what I just read, this movie was written more in the tone of GI:Joe Rise of Cobra than the 2009 Abrams Trek. Dumb action "schlock" is fine by me, but this is Prometheus levels of dumb. I'm avoiding spoilers, but if that is your logic, it sounds like I'm going to love this movie. Reminder: not everyone feels the same way about Prometheus that you do.

^^ I was hoping Khan would turn out to actually be a decent dude and help take the fight to Section 31, but nope plain old Khan, and if old Spock said he is a villain then he must be the villain! I enjoyed it, but the entire Khan spectacle was a disappointment since I went in blind and was hoping for Gary Mitchell instead. Please don't tell me we are going to rehash the original movies in sequential order now. Nothing else to add to this discussion other than I hope the next movie isn't The Voyage Home part 2 or some poo poo.

Gatts posted:John Cho is 40. What the gently caress? The dude is like in his late 20s or 30s to me. Still, seems like a cool dude. Holy poo poo! I would have guessed early thirties at most.

Oh my god now I too am quite mad about this.

Helsing posted:I don't have a particularly deep investment in the Star Trek franchise. I was never a huge fan and when I revisit the old stuff I am mostly struck by how corny and dumb it all is. I just think that if there is one thing that actually made the Star Trek franchise stand out at all it was those moments when it did aim to be a bit more cerebral and philosophical. If you are going to bother to remake or update the series I'd rather see a new variation on those themes. Sure, do something new with them, but don't completely ditch the one part of Star Trek that actually makes it distinctive. drat, this is exactly how I've felt about the new movies (Star Trek, Star Wars, and Guardians), but I wasn't smart enough to articulate those thoughts. Love me some OG Trek though.
