As a long time fan of the Star Trek franchise I was surprised by how much I loved the new film. It was a very fun rebirth of Trek, but it was not perfect.
I think the main flaws of the film come from a script level and could have been fixed with one more rewrite, as this movie was being done during the writers strike it is possible that the writers simply did not get a chance to tidy up the script and remove some of the flaws/ contrivances.
This is a thread for us fans to express what direction we want to see the sequel go.
The current rumor on the internet seems to be that the next film will feature the return of Khan, a feature-length re-imagining of "Space Seed" I suppose, and while this would be fun to see I think it is important that the new franchise does something new.
Space: the final frontier. These are the continuing voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life-forms and new civilizations; to boldly go where no one has gone before.
I would personally like the next film to focus on exploration, possibly open similar to "The Corbomite Maneuver" with the crew of the Enterprise exploring a region of space previously unexplored and making Star-maps of the region.
And whether the film goes on from there to introduce Khan or decides to have the Borg show up, or goes in an entirely fresh direction, I think it is important that the next film focus more on character and for it to aspire to be a more cerebral film than the current one.
As you are also fans, what are your ideas for the sequel and what of this film would you like to be corrected in a future film?
