"I want another TNG or 24th Movie!"
- Thread starter darkshadow0001
- Start date
Well, personally I'd love a TOS movie, set prior to the series. With younger versions of Spock and Kirk - perhaps showing their first mission together. And with new actors playing the roles. Most importantly, I'd like a talented director/producer to be helming the project, somebody who has a solid track record but is also a bit of a "hot property" to ensure that the studio gives the movie the budget and attention that it requires.
OMG I WIN!1!!!!

My problem with another 24th century movie is I can't imagine who on earth would write the script or make the film. I don't think any of the cast actually has a grasp of what made TNG successful. When the cast has been allowed to have some say in the films, it has been a catastrophe.
I realize they aren't the favorites of most people, but I much preferred Generations and Insurrection to First Contact and Nemesis. I felt First Contact and Nemesis were far too action oriented. I wouldn't characterize Generations or Insurrection as examples of great films, but I felt they were perhaps more thoughtful and true to the feeling of TNG.
I don't want to give Nimoy more credit than he deserves, but I think of any of the series' actors, he had the greatest sense of how to make a film that would be accepted and enjoyed by the fan base, and general public. I don't think anyone would argue that TSTS, TVH or TUC are outstanding works of science fiction, but they are definitely great examples of Trek. In all three of these films, the comraderie is present, and you have a stories where the audience is rooting for the success of the Enterprise crew.
If TNG were to return to the big screen - someone would have to emerge that "gets" TNG, and can make a film that is true to notions that made TNG so beloved, while making a film to appeal to the broader public.

I like the idea of a new TOS movie.
TNG isn't as suitable for a movie to begin with. They decided to turn Picard into an action hero...and pretty much everyone else too, and gave them a battleship to replace the family ship. Those changes are very hard to undo, and have run the series dry. Time for something else.

I think there are two not so much inherent, but distinct mentalities between TOS and 24th Century Star Trek.
Leonard Nimoy, brings some of this up in his interviews at Trekmovie.com
Later day Star Trek by whatever means started to become less and less about the people and more about the tech and technobabble - this bled over into the movies as well.

Nay. 24th century is just not fun (except for most of DS9.) I'd only be interested if they redid history and made it all about the Maquis (my faves from the 24th century are Eddington and Garak, with nobody coming in at #3 on that list.)
Of course I have no interest in a recast TOS movie, either. There are plenty of good stories that could be told in the 23rd century, I just don't want to see them with the wrong people playing the parts.
Better to dust off PLANET OF THE TITANS and rework it into a standalone Robert April story, or go a bit forward do a real end-of-era E-B story set on NewCentury'sEve.

I want two more TNG films, I don't think one more will fix things, but two would. TOS had star trek 6 after 5, so I think TNG should be given the chance to go out on a better final movie(s). 'Star Trek - Insurrection' is awesome, so don't even say they were already given the chance, paramount fucked up. Stuart Baird and John Logan????? That's where they screwed up. The four year gap screwed things up to. It should have been a two year gap.
I am totally not interested in the Star Trek 11....a remake??????no fucking thanks, you don't just remake a 41 year icon, you fucking idiots at paramount.
I have cancelled my Star Trek Magazine subscription because of this, no fucking interest in this at all.
Either bring back TNG for two more movies and have a proper ending instead of Nemesis' so called ending or don't bother making anymore Trek films and shows.
Paramount has really screwed and fucked up the franchise.

Yes, let's just keep throwing $70 million dollars at it, and it'll all get better. That sounds like a sound business strategy.
No it wasn't. And I'm one of the few people around here who liked that movie.
Logan was brought into the fold by none other than Brent Spiner, so it's more like the tree was rotting from the inside. Baird there's no excuse for.
You're assuming that people didn't want to see the movie because we had to wait four years, and not because it sucked.
Because those recent remakes of other 40-year-old icons (Doctor Who, James Bond) did so poorly, yeah.
Well, you're certainly entitled, though I guess someone should point out to you that Star Trek Magazine has no control over what new projects get greenlit; they just report on them.
Fortunately for them, there's a third option, though you don't seem willing to consider it.
They already did that before starting work on the new movie. If Abrams' film flops, the worst thing it will do is cause the dead horse's carcass to twitch a few more times.
I'd like to see a final TNG film. While its not my favorite Trek (TOS) it is essentially the one I grew up with in my formative years. It'd be nice to see the crew get a proper send-off.
Why more of the 24th century? isn't 21 seasons and 4 movies enough?
I think they should start with some 25th Century Trek.
And plus that way they can introduce even newer and revolutionary new technological ideas to inspire us to create them like the last 2 centuries of Trek did when they first came out.
