Mileage clearly varies. I would go on the TOS Enterprise and the Kelvin Enterprise. TMP is mixed bag.
I don't see what's "highly illogical" about the Enterprise change.

They just modernised it, like they did for TMP, and so on moving forward. It would be rather embarrassing if it still looked like the TOS bridge wouldn't it. So you don't like it, that's fine but it's just a subjective opinion.
The interior of the Enterprise is fine. The nacelles just makes everything look unbalanced on the exterior.
How does one really weigh on how bad the violence in Trek has gotten?
The violence of the Kelvin films
- Death of Captain Robeau
- Black hole formed on Vulcan
- Terror attacks in STID
- Khan crushing Admiral Marcus' skull
- Destruction of the Enterprise by the swarm ships
vs
The violence of the TOS films
- Violence in WoK
- Klingons on the bridge on the Enterprise set to auto self destruct
- Kruge falling into the lava flow of a volcano after being kicked in the face by Kirk
- The body count in TUC
In both cases, they have never had a violent experience like faced in “Conspiracy”.
Oh please they changed the look of the Enterprise big deal. it is still visually the Enterprise, so it has some cosmetic changes the JJ version is beautiful
Star Trek has always had violence/gore in some form, usually fisticuffs but often other stuff too. For me, it's a question of how graphic or frightening it is, and on that front, I think TWOK is the worst, but I also think it benefitted the movie and gave it an 'edge' that it needed to put our heroes in peril and made the film an intense experience, especially on the big screen.
I don't see anything in the Kelvin movies that have even come close to overstepping the mark for the franchise, historically.
We have yet to see a Star Trek movie about the mirror universe.
Come on! Epic space battles between USS Enterprise and ISS Enterprise, ground fights in stunning locations between Kirk and Kirk, Spocky-Spock and Uhura-Uhura!
Maybe give it a twist and Mirror!George Kirk is captain of the ISS Enterprise, with Commander Mirror!Tiberius Kirk plotting against his father, and Kelvin!James T. Kirk torn between seeing his father again, foiling his counterpart's assassination plots, and trying to win his mirror!father over from the Terrans' dark side.

That makes me wish the Tarantino movie had really happened now. I think he'd have done this.
- Emperor George Kirk
- Mirror Christopher Pike as an admiral
- Mirror James Kirk allowed to run his own planet as a mini-emperor
- Mirror Spock married to the Romulan commander from “The Enterprise Incident”
- Maybe give mirror Khan, mirror Amanda Grayson, and the mirror Marcus family a cameo appearance too…
I saw Star Trek Beyond again yesterday, This is one of the best star trek movies and Chris Pine's performance as Kirk is so underrated, its pains me that there is no Trek 4 after Beyond. Beyond finally got it right and it would have been marvellous to continue to build from that.
can you imagine the poster - the Big 3 (Kirk Spock Uhura) with mirror reflections holding phasers.. and above them most prominent (like Khan in the Bob Peak ST2 poster) a pumped up bearded Hemsworth holding a phaser rifle. and above the two Enterprises locked in battle!
title: Star Trek Into The Mirrorverse.
Or featuring Mirror Borg trying to assimilate prime Borg
I agree. I thought Pine was excellent as Kirk in Beyond. He was just fine in the first two but I felt he owned the role in Beyond.
Yesssssss! Nerdgasm!
Pine just nailed it in Beyond. His look when he watches the saucer go down...... That was acting
I say in the fourth one, they should have gone back in time to the 1980s to save the whales.
LOL!
Hey We were living in monterey bay when they filmed at the aquarium. Mmy dad was was supposed to be transferred to another post, so mom and I went ahead to new base, but federal budget allocations changed so we went back to monterey county after 8months. I'm still sad about missing that filming. Considering the aquarium is known for rehabbing and rescuing sea otters, maybe they could be key to a remake *snort*. They are very cute aggressive little predators, like scary ocean versions of ewocks to mix genre and series.
I absolutely adore that scene. His expression, the FX, the score, all brilliant. One of the best bits of the kelvin movies for me.
That is a nice scene. He got to be an actor acting an upset character....not an actor being kirk as upset, if you know what I mean. Its hard to be within the character not a characterization of kirk as character. It was real like shatner reacting to Kahn in wrath of khan. IT is the character as human rather than just kirk as character.
Its an extremely underrated skill.
