Why I hate the new star trek movies!!!

in any case i am glad they didn't reboot the original series with the same characters as i wouldn't of wanted that either, i am not keen on new actors playing those classic roles, in my opinion that actors that played those roles are irreplaceable. a couple of movies is easier to ignore then a whole series so at least i have that to be thankful for...

 

Millions of movie ticket buyers would disagree with you.

 

The Abrams movies are, essentially, a reboot. The timeline stuff was a bone tossed to fans.

As far as the actors go, I think they did a masterful job recasting the characters I grew up loving.

 

star trek is far more then ''high dollar make believe'', gene roddenburys wri

most of whom probably haven't watched the original star trek series or the ones that followed and don't understand why the original characters are loved, they are not emotionally invested in the original characters like i am...

 

And you know this how?

 

Low-grade telepathy combined with high grade [something that would earn me an infraction]

Now you're going to say something derpy, and I'm going to have to bring up the fact that Gene HATED the Star Trek movie you love most.

 

well its only logical that a new generation of kids and young adults growing up probably haven't seen where star trek began, or at least most of them haven't, for them these movies are there first experience with star trek...

 

It is make believe. Gene Roddenberry was a TV producer looking to make a paycheck. Don't buy the hype.

You can't possibly be any more invested in the TOS characters than I am, and I love the Abrams movies.

 

You don't know this at all. Star Trek is a cultural phenomenon. Ask any person on the street who Kirk, Spock, and the Enterprise is and they'll know.

Face it, this is all just your opinion, and not a very astute one. And while it's fine to have opinions, don't be trying to pass them off as if they're any kind of fact.

 

The last TV show had been cancelled only a few years before, and the final prime universal film had just flopped big time. This was the only realistic option to reinvigorate the franchise. And it worked.

 

And yet, you created this thread.
