Movies and TV Star Trek: Beyond - Page 3

**pr_capone** · 12-14-2015, 11:49 AM

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.

I guess everybody wants to be attached to Star Wars this weekend.

Makes sense from a marketing perspective

Good grief, there are going to be like 30 minutes of trailers attached.

And the marketing teams they're saddled to.

That's generally not the way it works for trailers. The studio or production company will hire a trailer house and sometimes, even a specific editor.

They hire a music supervisor, who then tries to secure the rights to a specific song or songs, along with trailer music from one of the production libraries, which the editor will cut in. Often times, there are five or six distinct pieces of music for one trailer.

But whoever cut this trailer - yeesh. No feel whatsoever.

(I meant whoever was acting as producer for the house who put together the trailer. I know it's completely unrelated to the movie's production...)

The editor generally has free reign.

It's also extremely lucrative, even reality TV. Really big bucks and they're always in demand.

I dunno, I didn't mind "STID" and this trailer doesn't bother me either. It is what it is. I like the character reboots and how the new actors are portraying them. This trailer was clearly cut to push the F&TF angle and the connection with the director.

I bet they'll repair the Enterprise in the end, like they did in Into Darkness. I think you see it crashed on a planet, ****ed up but semi-intact, at 0:30.

They do over-rely on blowing up the ship to raise stakes, but from a continuity nerd point of view I wish they had stuck to the plan of blowing up the Enterprise in the beginning of Trek 09. Basically it was going to be a newly launched TOS Enterprise instead of the Kelvin. Which would have explained why Kirk seemed to have some attachment to the Enterprise, and why it looks completely different to how it did in the original universe.

One thing, I do think the uniforms look better. I never liked the superhero costume texture they used in the previous two movies.

So the movie is one long away mission resulting from a catastrophe that disables/destroys the ship. The away mission takes place in a retro-futuristic semi-anarchistic dystopian society/setting. I see Star Fleet unis on people in the background. So I'm assuming that Kirk bonds with a hot goth-hippy chick while performing a scout mission, Spock and Bones attempt to take over the established society and free the crew/society, and Scotty makes cameos doing weird stuff to move the plot past technical issues.

Totally agree. I spent the entire trailer trying to figure out WTF is going on and wondering why everyone is jumping...

Worst trailer released this week...

It's just another dumb Star Trek idea.

Ugh.

Thanks for filling me in.

Awesome-another Star Trek movie, another Star Wars, another Superman, another Alien, another Captain America.. and they remade Tarzan as well.

Might as well remake Ground Hog day too-because that is what it is like going to the movies- same movies again and again.

Groundhog Day was already remade with Tom Cruise.

It's called Edge of Tomorrow.

Yeah, but that movie was awesome so it gets a pass.

Mainly because watching Cruise die over and over and over and over and over was more fun than any plot involved.
