Simple Question: Do You Like The Reboots?
- Thread starter Squiggy
- Start date
Speaking as someone who watched (and loved) the original run of TOS as a kid and then went on to watch and love & appreciate all the Trek that followed (on TV & the big screen) (despite all flaws, inconsistencies, and cringe inducing bits along the way), I also count myself as someone who loves the last two movies. I can nitpick right along with the best of them, but I consider myself a fan who has -overall- enjoyed the arc of the storytelling throughout Trek's various incarnations..... despite "Brain and brain! What is brain?!" and Anheuser-Busch engine rooms and all the rapidly evolving amphibian-like crew members & rapidly de-evolving spider-like crew members that came in between!!

I think if you force people to say yes or no, especially on a Star Trek forum, specifically a sub-forum devoted to that specific thing, most people are going to gravitate towards yes. I'd hate to think that if even half the fanbase didn't like the movies that they'd hang around here just to bitch about it. That just seems rather tedious.
I put yes, even though I echo the thoughts of some earlier posters. They're enjoyable movies and were worth seeing, but it's not the kind of thing I feel like rewatching over and over. Kinda hard to place opinions like that in a binary.
^This. I voted "Yes" even though I only liked the first one and not STID so much. That said, I want the franchise to continue, so I am glad it is having success.
Don't know. Feels like TOS to me.
Ditto, second that, +1, hear hear, and Bi-La Kaifa!
Yes.
If they use the same actors in this new reboot approach,I think the actors will 'own' their characters more and develop the depth they need to be totally believable. Case in point is Nimoy in his commitment to the Spock role. So, for me, it's a start but hasn't got there yet.
Yes.
And yet any member of the TrekBBS, regardless of his like or dislike of the films, can come here and take the poll. Thats the whole point of the poll. Are you implying that if Squiggy posted this poll in the TOS forum, the responses would be completely different?
Since the stated goal was to survey "fans" (e.g. Star Trek fans), a Star Trek site would seem an ideal place to ask the question.
Do you really think you'd get a different response if the question was asked in another forum here? Given the number of critical conversations about the movies that crop up in this very forum, I'm skeptical, but I hardly read every thread her so my view may very well be skewed.
Nope.
