Poll Do you intend to watch SECTION 31?

[El Maestro]

I’m going to watch it but I’m not that optimistic. I’d love to be wrong! But the trailers and early reviews/buzz aren’t good.

There've been reviews?

There've been reviews?

Can’t find a link ATM but I’ve been seeing some things on Reddit and other social media…more and more people seem to be seeing it and the reports aren’t great.

There have been reviews that I can trust and actually give a shit about?

To the trailer or the actual film?

 

[Turtletrekker]

I can't find any reviews with a Google search.

To paraphrase: in order for me to care about a review I must first value the opinion.


There are very view reviewers I trust, and certainly not many on YouTube or other click driven economics. The die is already cast against Section 31 so the only way to judge it is to watch it.

It's frustrating in a way because the bias seems so skewed: are you actually going to watch Section 31?

How can Trek survive after Section 31?

Kurtzman hates Trek; that's why he greenlit this movie?

On and on.

They had a premiere of the movie today in London. So there might be reviews coming out very soon.

That was very vague, even coming in knowing it was not a full review. It was bad like show X from franchise Y.

New lost era badge?

It looks very weathered and old. I'm more wondering if it's meant to be an heirloom of some sort.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Every single part of that "review" was vague and nonsensical and coming from sources that I have absolutely no regard for whatsoever.

Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but it’s kind of telling – but certainly not surprising, coming from someone in Burnett’s orbit – that he compares it to two panned female-led shows. It’s a small wonder he was able to stop himself there and didn’t also bring up The Marvels, Supergirl and the 2016 Ghostbusters for good measure.

By the way, what’s the “origins cinematic movie” that’s being referred to there? EDIT: Ah, found it. Some Star Wars thing.

This is what I saw! Thanks for finding it. I don’t know much about this dude but but some searching suggests he’s a bit…cranky…so probably need to wait for more reviews to get a true sense.

Well as noted, it said nothing. The worst parts of Doctor Who and The Acolyte? What does that even mean?

You lost me right there.

Burnett exemplifies the worst drives and behavior of Trek fandom, and he - or anyone in his orbit for that matter - are the absolute last people I'd depend on for opinions for anything new.

I believe he's talking about the newest "let's see if it really happens" Star Trek theatrical movie.
