Why is Picard doing the voice over (at least for part of it)?  |

So Star Trek is now a superhero franchise? Seriously, that makes me want to go firebomb the studio it's so horrible and anti-star trek looking.

I am with you being the son of a Trekkie who religiously watched ToS when she was a kid like I did with Xfiles. However, the greater message/moral of the story Trek movies would probably be lost on this current audience. New generation of Trek, new theme I suppose. I'll still see it mainly because Pine shows flashes of Shatner every so often and that always makes me smile. |

Star Trek movies were always kind of shit, the hour long episode format never translated well onto the big screen.

He isn't far wrong. Pretty much all Trek movies feel like slightly longer TV episodes in terms of both writing and actual production values. That doesn't make them shit automatically, but it does feel a bit like cheating.
Not counting the reboot, which was a full fledged AAA affair.

That trailer seems to be more about Michael Bay explosions than exploring new worlds and going where no man has gone before.  |

There has only been 2 decent trek movies, Khan and the last one. But otoh there has only been one and a half decent trek series. TNG and half of DS9. So maybe its a wash. |

I partially agree with you on the movies - but they were all decent, even the Save the Whales one (though that was by far the weakest), but Khan was great. However, again, I see this through a Trekkie genetic lens. I always prefer ToS to the rest of the them. |

No, save the whales was one of the best it just hasn't aged well to young eyes. Saying that V was in any way "decent" and was in any way shape or form better than IV has invalidated all your opinions anyway.  |

I am excited by the trailer, if only for Cummerbatch.
Not sure what we are trying to discern as "super hero" versus the old stuff.

Saying that V was in any way "decent" and was in any way shape or form better than IV has invalidated all your opinions anyway. Yeah. V was a goddamn abomination. I think only Nemesis and that shitty TNG one on the magic healing planet with Zit-Faced Worf came close to its shittiness. I am not a Trekkie - I'm old skool TOS all the way. I thought TNG got way too touchy-feely preachy. DS9 was good because it WASN'T that, had a more naturalistic feel. Khan was certainly the best Star Trek movie with the reboot my second favorite. I hope that this isn't Khan. I thought the trailer looked like a good action movie. That's what Trek is now. |

Guess I blocked that one out and handwaved it away under the guise of retiring ToS cast still chasing the dragon) |

I still reckon the people who didn't like V never actually watched The Original Series. After all, it was simply one of the 15 episodes where The Enterprise met God.
(Yeah, it was awful, I'm just sayin' )
Also, there are people here, IN THIS VERY FORUM, who like First Contact. Showing that there's no accounting for taste and being a cockgobbler.

Alright, the one with the magic planet which kept everyone healthy, and it seemed that the entire planet was empty except for one village of aryan supermodels . . . and these ugly people wanted to move in and get some of that magic because they had a fatal illness . . . but they weren't allowed to because they were too ugly and not blonde enough . . . what was up with that? That planet must have had loads of empty room.
I was on the side of the villains in that one.

Call me Mr.Cockgobbler then. Maybe I just don't take Star Trek srsly enough though; I've enjoyed most of the Star Trek films by and large, although Nemesis and Insurrection just weren't very interesting. I do have a real soft spot for Star Trek VI, what's not to love about a Shakespeare-quoting mad Klingon General trying to start a war eh? |

Star Trek is at it's best when it is being slightly daft I feel. Better then than when it is trying to philosophise.

That doesn't make it GREAT, mind you, but it sure as shit beat out the other three TNG movies. And V. And there was no Veeger. |

Star Trek use to a vehicle for challenging ideas. Now it is a vehicle for action movies. Sadly we have few of the former and plenty of the latter.

Star Trek shouldn't be movies. They just end up being bad episodes stretched to two hours by too many special effects.
