Wrath of Kahn, Voyage Home, and Undiscovered Country were the best of the Star Trek films. I preferred the TNG series, but the only TNG film I'd rewatch is First Contact. I haven't seen Nemesis, but it sounds like it was another lack-luster TNG film..?

i'd be happy with just-above TV budgets if they'd use them on a DS9 film :(

First "real" trailer is now online:

Will this be the first really entertaining (not only I hope) ST movie ? It seems well started...

Re: Star Trek XI
 

well it certainly looks action packed. Still I think it all depends on how the characters are developed. Not sure what they're doing with young Spock for instance. The trailer has him looking quite...emotional. Isn't he supposed to have no emotions?

Re: Star Trek XI
 

It looks like it may have potential, depending on the story etc. I am more interested in seeing Earth because that is something that we never really in the old ones.

But to be honest, I don't think it is going to touch Battlestar Galactica, which right now is probably the best Sci-Fi out there. I am totally hooked on it, and I think it blows the whole Star Trek storyline out of the water.

Of course, this will all change when the Star Wars TV show stars. Even still, after watching BG, they have a high standard to match.

i think he was half-Vulcan, half-human, so it's probably a daily struggle for him to stay "logical" ;)

Re: Star Trek XI
 

Most Star Trek movies have been great... First Contact is one of my favourite movies of all time.
But this looks more like a mindless action movie than a Star Trek movie. Of course, action is very important for Star Trek, but characterization, humor, dialoge and plot always had priority... First Contact was perfect in this regard.

However XI will suck... telling from the trailer, the major themes are ridiculous: "You can get it if you really want"? Spock's Human-Vulcan conflict? As if we hadn't seen those before... Even JJ Abrams admitted that it will be a action movie for the masses.
The bad CGI and the 'modern blueish' look that already destroyed DH4 won't help either...
And then this guy at the end of the trailer proclaims "the wait is over!"...:mad: This is even worse than the fucking CGI-mole that opened Indiana Jones 4.

I'm going to see it, but I'll expect nothing so I can't be disappointed.

Re: Star Trek XI
 

I just take trailers for what they are. This one is, like others, made to bring people in theaters.

Nemesis was already more on action (if I remember well...), but was empty of everything. I thing no one wants that.

You're right about First Contact, that's a good movie, and maybe the best from ST, but there was this little something missing to make it "a great movie". But if I'm right, this is the only movie speaking about the discovery of human going distortion :D. That's a very good point !

Re: Star Trek XI
 

+10000 :)

have been rewatching BG for the past couple of months, almost at the end of S3 now and very much looking forward to season 4!

Re: Star Trek XI
 

I can't do nothing but agree about BSG :D Seen that the 4th season will come in 2 packs, THIS is not so great. :eek:

But hey, stay realist, how can a stand alone movie can beat a series so well constructed than BSG ;)
