Hello, I’m a massive fanof both TOS and all (enterprise questionable) new(er) additions. Infact I have just watched ‘The Enemy Within’ on the Sci Fi channel b4 work. However the Kirk/Spock era was the best – being the Wrath Of Khan at its pinnacle. Unfortunatly we dont currently have the technology of the Holo Deck – so we cant reverse the aging of the original crew and bring them back in a pre-qual, leaving the only option to recast them. Plus it’s another sad fact that all us Trekkies are a dieing breed & to pump new life into the franchise is by modernising the whole thing to keep up. I can’t wait for the new film (McCoy inparticular seems very true to character). As for the ‘plastic looking’ comments – Please go and google Star Trek! and say that none of the original screen shots don’t look that way. Come on give it a chance – I persoanally hope they make an ‘inbetween’ film about Khan marooned on Seti Alpha 5 – how f+++++g cool would that be??? Pease, live long and prosper

First of all, just want to say that with this movie im very dissapointed in two things. First is there attempt to pass that guy off as a romulan. Second the fact that the romulans are in this because they havent really met the romulans until part way through the TOS series. Also everything looks way to advanced or the era. I understand the fact that they have to make an interesting movie but it dissapoints me. Im going to go watch this movie as a really really good spin off action movie, not as a Star Trek Movie.

I’m gonna make a Star Trek Voyager movie that is just the cast of Lost transposed in to random Voyager roles. A man in a wig, smoking Virginia Slims will play Janeway. The conflict of the movie will be that they are stranded in the Delta quadrant with no cigarettes for the captain, and she’s already getting cranky.

Also they will find out that there is a polar bear monster living on the island. Ship.

Look, Beverly Hills 90210 meets Spaceballs! Hope the action is fancy and the dialog not vomit worthy.

Of course the bridge looks different. It’s being designed for a movie, not a TV show in an era when the image was low-res, typically sent over the airwaves, and distorted. The screen size, resolution, and image quality by themselves demand a redesign, just as the entire ship was redesigned for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. (They had the advantage of being able to explain it as a refit.)

Even Serenity was redesigned for, well, Serenity. It was just a lot subtler because they were picking up from a recent show, rather than one with design sensibilities from four decades ago.

I used to be a huge Trekker. I liked Voyager best, because I thought the concept was interesting (a starship left to survive on its own? Cool!) but I was also a lot younger at the time, and now I realize (well, I realized it then, but I really realize it now) that there were some really dumb story lines (um…the one where people aged in reverse? That’s really the best you can give us?!). Some of the characters were interesting (I liked Janeway, I loved B’Elanna, the Doctor was great, and the idea behind Seven was great, although the fact that she was added solely for sex appeal detracted from that considerably). The idea of having two opposing factions forced to cooperate was great but they didn’t use it enough. And the end…well, it was completely anti-climatic.
To me, the death knell was when Brannon Braga joined and obtained a position of power in the francise. He seemed to think that everything had to revolve around sex appeal, and when he was given responsibilities in creating that travesty known as “Enterprise” things went downhill from there. I watched the first episode and it so sickened me that I couldn’t bring myself to watch anything more.
When I heard that they were doing “young Kirk and Co.” I almost cried. Haven’t they tortured Star Trek enough? If they’re going to do a movie, why not make it something different? Bring back something else.
The difference with “Doctor Who” was that the essential spirit of the original remained the same. The difference with “Star Wars”…actually, wait, no, the second trilogy just plain sucked.
Rest in peace, Star Trek. You died many years ago, and you are greatly missed.
I’ll see it, but probably not in a first-run theater.
