I agree. I think they (especially the first) are good movies. Great for someone who doesn't know much about Star Trek, great for guys wanting to see a star trek movie and have a girlfriend tagging along, great for bringing in a new audience of newb trek fans. But I think this could have been done while also staying true to ST.
And while I love the eye candy provided by Chris Pine, I found it hard to believe him as a captain. just my opinion10/2/2013 9:16:48 AM |

i mean part of that is because cadet to captain in a few days doesn't make any sense. (and it wreaks of millennial mentality) 10/2/2013 9:23:38 AM |

the transporter itself is fucking dumb cause even if the federation banned beaming nukes, theres no fucking way the cardassians or the romulans or the Klingons would. They'd be transporter-nuking the shit out of everyone left and right
the tech in star trek has always served the plot first at the expense of overall universe integrity. sometimes to a lesser extent in the better treks (ds9) but theres nothing that makes non-jj trek fundamentally superior from a technology usage standpoint. 10/2/2013 1:54:52 PM |
