Simple Question: Do You Like The Reboots?

Hopefully this isn't considered spam, despite the fact that it duplicates a topic elsewhere on the board. Doing that is kind of the point.

This poll was set up the other day in the forum devoted to the Abrams Star Trek movies.

It's been suggested that the results might be "skewed" based upon the predispositions of folks who visit that forum.

It was further suggested, as an experiment, that the poll be posted here in the General Trek forum to see if the result would be substantially different.

So, here it is.

 

Simple question, simple answer: yes.

 

Yes. Fun, fun movies to watch.

 

I like Star Trek (2009).

I love Star Trek Into Darkness (2013).

So, yes.

 

Love 'em! Watching the first as I post this.

 

Yes.

 

ST09 is great but STID is only okay. Just IMO.

 

Only seen the first twice, don't own a copy.

Seen parts of the second more times, don't own it either, but find it watchable.

So I'd have to say no really.

 

Yes I like them, and look forward to the next one.

 

I think they're pretty good, if you view them as action movies and not as Trek.

 

I voted no, but I don't really dislike them either.

They're fun but forgettable.

 

I never warmed with the new movies, I´m an oldfashioned Trekkie so I voted no.

 

If it's fun to watch, I like it, if it isn't, I don't.

 

Love them to bits.

 

Yes - they are a lot of fun - which is what I go to the cinema for.

 

I want to like the movies, but I can't. Probably because they're action movies. But I love the actors!!

 

If you watch attentively, there are a lot of references, hidden sometimes, to the old st universe. So it's fun for the fans too.

 

Star Trek '09 - Yes
Star Trek Into Darkness - No

Maybe we are headed for better odd numbered movies in the NuTrek series and weaker even numbered ones. We'll see how that pans out.

 

To be fair the old trek had some major clunkers too, TMP for one, the slow motion picture or how to slow the action down to a halt in the middle of an "action" movie.

 

Gene Roddenberry would be turning pea green with envy, if he knew what kind of business J.J. Abrams was capable of doing with the original series STAR TREK characters. This is how TOS was always meant to be and I'm a huge fan of it!
