Star Trek: Beyond
Paramount just released the trailer to Star Trek Beyond. I am less than pleased overall.
Justin Lin, the director of the last 3 F&F movies, is at the helm of this bullshit and from the tiny snippet of Simon Pegg jumping out of a pod and hanging off the side of a cliff... it looks equally as campy as F&F. Justin Lin, the director of nothing but remakes and sequels, is also the guy in charge of the reshooting (because there won't be anything new about it) of the Highlander movie. I love Trek but this new movie series has been largely garbage. Little to no rewatchability at all for either movie. For the first time ever... I am more excited for something Star Wars related than Trek. |

Sure hope he doesn't ruin Star Wars.

Isn't that what he is ultimately doing with Star Wars too? Directing the first one then just producing the rest?

I can't see him ever returning to direct Star Trek. He's just getting producer credit (and revenue) for jump starting the franchise. |

Which doesn't mean he won't **** it up... (Total tangent but the funniest thing to me lately has been people complaining about TFA possibly being at it's core a remake. Like the first Star Wars is some original thing, rather than a pastiche of Dune, serials and Kurosawa movies...) |

I liked the 2009 Star Trek movie.
Into Darkness was god awful. This looks even worse. Paramount is going to really feel this one in their wallets. People will see this opening weekend and then shit will dry up fast. They're going to lose money on this movie. Guaranteed. |

The 2nd movie wasn't bad. It wasn't as good as the reboot, but that's only because the reboot is really good, IMO. This movie, OTOH, looks horrific. It had an unshakable 'direct to DVD' feel to it. If the budget for this one was anywhere near the last one, they'll lose their ass (well, probably not because international markets will probably eat it up, but it'll get smoked domestically).

This looks awful, IMO.
This also does not bode well for the new series, since it's the same writer and producer. |
