What's the worst they could do?

The worst they could do is a rehash of anything that has been done before.

Abrams made a sweet and loving tribute to the Star Trek franchise with his first movie.

And by the way we do own Star Trek. We saved it in the 60s, we resurrected it in the 80s, we killed it in during ENT and we are showing our support once again to bring it back.

Fandom is wonderful but not easy to be in. It's not for the weak hearted.

And please include "fangirls" when you insult us again. There are girls (now women) who have always supported Star Trek.
 
What's the worst that they could do? Fire J.J. Abrams and replace him with Michael Bay, Paul W.S. Anderson, Rob Cohen, or Stephen Sommers.

They could do a lot worse that replacing Abrams with Bay. After all, Bay's Transformers have averaged $350 over 3 films. That's about 40% than Star Trek made. Money talks and Bay's movies get listened to.

Here's a plot outline :

Explosion, car chase, fight, exposition, another explosion, another chase, another explosion, some awkward inappropriate sexual 'humour', two lines of dialogue (mainly exposition), another fight, yet another fight, yet another explosion, end.

Seems to work for his other films...


Sounds like a Micheal Bay film
 
Well, I've seen the pictures that have leaked and, with a sinking heart, I see that the worst fears of many fans have come true.

They appear to be shooting an "action" scene that will involve a physical altercation, personal danger, and quite possible an element of suspense.

How dare you, Mr. Abrams? At long last, have you no sense of decency left?
 
And by the way we do own Star Trek. We saved it in the 60s,

I heard that was colored TVs.

Ahem. It's probably better to say, "TVs of color," today. ;)

And I watched "Star Trek" for the first time on a black and white TV.

I'm trying to think of the things I've been a fan of as long and consistently as I've been a fan of Trek, and I can only come up with baseball and the Beatles. And beer. And sex. Well the last two would count only if I could've started each at age seven. But they're up there.

The worst they could do is get too ambitious and bite off more than they can chew in two hours. ST09, whatever it's flaws, was a good, tight fast-paced story.

I want my "three hours of bonus footage of the discussion of a plan to rescue the Andorian ambassador from the surface of Sylax IV." [Trekkies Bash New Star Trek Film As 'Fun, Watchable', (The Onion, 2009.]
 
This:

There is an 'official' re-launch of Enterprise set to take place, with media people on board, etc. A guest on board is John Harriman, who commanded the ship before Pike. The Nexus comes along, Kirk doesn't know what to do, Harriman saves the ship and disappears. Years later, Tom Riker convinces Harriman to get his butt out of the Nexus and help save the day. Sela had wanted to access the Nexus to see her mother Tasha and ends up killing Harriman on Nimbus III.

:vulcan: :guffaw:
 
Kirk gets trapped in a turbolift with a bunch of kids and sings Frere Jacques to them to comfort them.
 
Guest star Admiral Berman says to Bad Robot Spock:

"This is Crap! We should be on the holodeck with Riker and Troi! We should blow the ship up and crash some fake looking trees into the remains! I don't care that the Lost in Space movie did it better! Nemesis was awesome! :scream:"

:Admiral Berman jumps out of an airlock. There are no mattresses to break his fall in Space.:

End of Scene.

:wtf:

:eek:

. . .

:scream:

That sucks!

. . .

Oh wait. . . Awesome! :techman:
 
The worst they could do is not properly publicise this film.

They could hire the marketing geniuses who did the John Carter campaign. :rommie:

Coming this summer ... James T. Kirk!!

Green CGI lizardman throws a giant rock
Kirk backhands a pig-nosed Tellarite
Pointy-eared Vulcan looks up from sensor console
Minivan-shaped shuttlecraft blast off from a desert planet

... When Earth was in danger, only one man could save it ...

Kingons stare menacingly
Vulcan tries to stab Kirk in the heart with an two-handed axe
Green animal woman moves in for a lapdance

... and that man is --- James T. Kirk ...

Shot of starship in spacedock
Explosion as battle rages in asteroid field
Uhura screaming
Klingon ship swoops over the Golden Gate bridge


Teenaged audience: Lame, looks like a ripoff of Avatar.
