New Star Trek Trailer

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the please-jj-don't-hurt-em dept.

roelbj writes "The full trailer to the next Star Trek movie is now available at the movie's official web site. The upcoming J.J. Abrams-helmed installment represents a changing of the guard, a reboot of the franchise, and a return to the original-series crew. It should prove interesting to see how Abrams' writing staff (Cloverfield, Lost, Alias) tackles the Star Trek universe and all the continuity and baggage that comes with it."

    What?

    The next star trek film is going to be written by some of the very worst writers the TV industry has ever seen? Does this mean we should expect a dumb plot that makes no sense, and ridiculous dialogue?

    Oh boy.

    complete cheese-fest

    [as opposed to] Firefly/Serenity

    !? Huh? I couldn't even make it through the first episode of Firefly because the "space western" theme was so god damned cheesy it made me gag. I wouldn't exactly hold that up as an example of high-quality sci-fi these days. BSG, yes. I love BSG and am tormented by the wait for more episodes. That's high-quality sci-fi, and if the new Trek can live up to that, I'd be ecstatic.

    Apart from that though, yes, Trek hasn't been as good as it ever has been lately, but honestly, I'd still take everything up through and including Voyager (for the series) or Insurrection (for the movies) over a mindless action flick.
