@FoolsPrussia- Find a dictionary and look up 'cerebral', and then 'stiffness'.
I guess it's easy to misinterpret what someone says, when they cannot adequately articulate their meaning because, like, you know, I mean, they have a bad case of arthritis and their joints were sore and cerebral, but could ponder the wonders of the universe, because their mind is so-o-o stiff. |

"So the new footage looks like some sort of reference to the end of Star Trek IV."

"You're kidding, right? People mock Star Trek as too cerebral? Really? I always mocked it for poor writing- even though story IDEAS were good- and worse acting."
When I say cerebral, I'm referring to its stiffness, so you're just misinterpreting my meaning.
Star Trek has many faults, but what made it interesting was its sense of wonder. My problem with the last one was that it really didn't seem to have a point. It had a weak plot, with a forgettable villain. Most of it seemed to be about winking at the camera, ribbing at the cheesiness of the original series. That's what I mean by caricature. |

The 2009 flick was no better than ANY of the television incarnations, or the movies; Except 'Wrath of Khan'- that has a warm, fuzzy place in my heart. |

Lens flares. Everywhere.
@listypoos i think he means they took the franchise, and turned the movies into actual films, and not extended tv shows. |

So the new footage looks like some sort of reference to the end of Star Trek IV. I really didn't like the first Abrams movie. It felt like caricature. It seems like their solution to "reinvent" the franchise was to make it more like a comic book movie. People mock Star Trek for being too cerebral, but that's what makes it Star Trek. |

I'm not saying they're bad movies. They just don't resemble the old series AT ALL. Apart from the title and the names of the characters.
Although i am a die hard trekkie, i wouldn't mind if they changed it up a bit, modernized it, whatever, as long as they stayed a little bit true to the original franchise. But to me it seems like they just slapped the Star Trek trademark on an otherwise okay sci-fi movie, to make it sell more. That breaks my heart. |

Looks good so far. I loved the reboot movie.
@Kain1 In what way do you think they butchered the franchise? |

Kain1-"They really butchered the franchise.."
I'd have to dissagree. I'm a trekkie from way back, and I rather enjoy the new ones. |
