What? Beastie boys and the motorcycle stuff "felt like Star Trek"?
I disagree - it felt like a Vin Diesel flick in those moments..
Though there were good parts
Anyone else remember the rumours Tarantino was in talks to direct this thing? Sounds like it was troubled from the start
You are mixing things up here. The Tarantino Star Trek movie is a different movie project. It was never supposed to be the fourth film in this series.
But of course it's questionable if it's still in the works.
Yep, at least we got one actually good Trek movie out of the whole mess of a reboot.
i like Nu Trek but after Darkness and JJ taking up star wars i knew the writing was on the wall. maybe in five years or so we'll get a mini-reboot with the grizzled veteran OG cast and that can go into its own thing but yeah after Beyond i figured that was a wrap
It blows my mind that most people feel the latest movie felt like actual star trek. Like I've watched a completely different movie or something. It was riddled with dumb action stuff and all sorts of scenes I hated.
I'm not particularly sad this alternative timeline stuff is dead if that's what we can expect.

The old narrative just dosnt work anymore in this day and age. You gotta add some boom, action and attractiveness to it or it wont make back its money. Sadly thats the state we live in nowadays. Blame the milennials...shit everyone else does.
I just rewatched '09 the other week and it's still a fun romp, but it's also the only one I really enjoyed. Gimme the Tarantino project next.
The worst thing is they cancelled Enterprise just as it started getting good :/
But... it has the biggest, dumbest explosion-fest in the series.
On hindsight, they really did have some bad luck considering the timeframes in which they released in terms of trying to establish a better following for the movie franchise.
2009 -- Not necessarily that bad. Sure, there was Batman, Iron Man before then and Transformers 2 right around the corner, but it had a good start. No one else was doing high budget space adventures anywyay.
2013 -- Oops, people seem to be more interested in this whole superhero business again.
2016 -- Oops, Star Wars came back to the big screen. Y'know... the one franchise they were probably counting on not coming back when they started this whole shindig again?
I think we had this one already.

Yes got damnit. It sounded very interesting. What other way can you take Star Trek without adding something new. Putting action in it? They did that. Now lets make it rated R.
Cast was great but everything else sucked balls. Abrams, Orci, Lindelof, and Kurtzmann screwed over another franchise. Beyond was an improvement largely thanks to a different director and writing team.
Unfortunate, they were moving in the right direction with Beyond. Star Trek Can't really work in modern cinemas anyway, big budget movies have to blockbusters with constant action, you just can't have a slow, plodding optimistic space drama story about ethical/moral dilemmas anymore.
Bring back Tom Hardy to play him :P
It's a good cast. Just not a good cast for Star Trek. Quinto looked a bit like Spock. Urban sounded a bit like Bones. Yelchin was actually Russian. The rest doesn't work.
I will say, if Ron Moore and Ira Behr want to come back and give us a post Dominion War series, I might be down.
Yep I hated the first two movies but love Beyond. Its cheesy and silly at times but it felt like Star Trek.
Beyond was alright, but i think I'm on board with the interpretation that Trek as blockbuster film doesn't work all that well.
With TV being as strong as it is through streaming platforms i think TV is a better place for it.

It's a bummer this is ending, but we have Picard and The Orville now. We've moved beyond the need for the reboot. Also discovery, maybe. Haven't seen it.
Go watch 2, 3 and 4 again. That's an excellent trilogy.

Man I'm getting so out of touch that movie series are getting rebooted then cancelled before I even get around to watching the first movie in the series.
It's incredibly boring. People like it because it feels like an authentic episode of Star Trek. That's probably why it bombed if people want to watch tv they can anytime they want at home.
I think this hurts me the most. Urban was an excellent Bones. His banter with Spock in Beyond was awesome.
