Will it have legs? It's Star Trek, it has made an overwhelmingly positive impact. If the sequel can match or more likely and even better, improve on that, it will.
Will ST09 have legs?
- Thread starter Warped9
- Start date
You guess?Depends on the quality of the sequel. Because they used just about every Star Trek cliche in the first film. I'm guessing they'll use every Star Wars cliche in the sequel.
I think we can expect something along the lines of:
"Well, cute little R1 of Delta Two, I guess you're too little to run away if I take this off...<snap> Hey, where did that Uhura threesome go? Bring them back! Play back the entire recording!
This movie has made inroads into areas that other Star Trek movies haven't: box office, public awareness and an Academy Award. People who wouldn't have given Star Trek a second thought before are fans of this movie and would even see it beyond the original theatrical release.
This tells me that the legs are there and they're still running.
RT.

Probably true - though, again, other than hard core trekkies few consider any of the other Trek films to be classic cinema either (TWOK does have a cheering section among professional critics and is well-remembered by the public; it would be the exception).
Hopefully, since very few are going to be "no."
Who knows. Only time will tell.
I think they'll get one more movie and that'll be it. Paramount will revert to form and slash the budget back to something resembling reality and JJ won't have the same bag of tricks to play with the second time around, which means the whole thing will hinge on the writing.
May God have mercy on their souls.

Are you prepared to bet here and now that the second one won't be a hit?
May God have mercy on us.
Hey, a lot of them bet against the first one despite every sensible reason to expect it to succeed - and it did. Why should they not take long odds again...and fail again?
Do you have a single example of this "a lot"?
We have people in and out of our home constantly, Mom's ambulance, home health care and nursing personnel, as well as friends and family. In my living room is the Burger King drinking glasses promotional stand-up. It is quite the conversation starter.
I fully expected comments like, "I see you're one of those trekkies" or such. Instead, the usual comments are, "That's a cool display! Where did you get it?" or "I see you like Star Trek. Cool movie." For me it is one more sign that this movie "has legs" among the general public.
