Maybe they should cast Doctor Who for the next star trek captain.....


They are always doing mindless and ridiculous time travel plots....

Meh star trek is loosing its appeal. (or lost it a long time ago)

I did like the low tech of enterprise and the fact you didn't have people beaming all over the place all the time and shuttles had a purpose. Also i agree it was nice to see a decontamination room as other trek series seems to have forgotten this.

I don't think archer was boring. I would say he was right for the job. He was a hands on captain in a ship for its time that was mostly inferior to the other major species. A time i beleive that the Vulcans were repressing the technological growth of other species until deemed worthy.

I think archers demeanor for the series was very well placed.

However, needless to say startrek is quite dull with endless ridiculous time travel plots and yet they still seem to deem time travel as fantastical rarity yet they do it on an unbeleivable frequent occurance.

Bah Humbug,

Star trek needs to be reborne...... And have some common sense thrown in... And some grittiness and more naked T'pol

It already has been reborn under JJ Abrams and both movie audiences and critics responded overwhelmingly positive to it.

EJO would never do Star Trek. He doesn't believe in acting with aliens. He did BSG because it was just people and people-made robots. Likewise he did Blade Runner because it's similar in that way.



The Jedi Master

bogus specified "some common sense thrown in" that eliminates the JJ Adams film. IMO.

I enjoyed the new movie, but I do wish it hadn't involved time travel and a grossly overpowered MINING ship. What a waste of having Eric Bana on the cast. IMO he should've played Kirk and none of the back to the beginning business.
I know there's off-screen backstory to the movie that goes into what happened to the ship etc, but if it couldn't be put into the movie, then they should have reworked the movie, or lengthened it, to cover it. And giving Vulcan the Deathstar treatment...not sure that was a good idea. This may be a very short lived reboot.

I thought Chris Pine was outstanding as Kirk and Eric Bana was great as Nero even though I think Nero could have/should have been fleshed out a little more by the writers.

Pine was indeed good. I'm sure he will be again. I'd just prefer to see a new series of movies with Bana as Kirk. Keep the rest of the cast, but I wish they hadn't gone quite so far back in age in general--and most of them aren't as young as portrayed in the movie anyway. I think everyone liked Bruce Greenwood in there, but it didn't look right with all of them acting like they were 22 years old next to him. Most of the actors are 30-40. Would do better to have written around that age group.

I loved the reboot Star Trek, it's up there with "The Wrath of Khan" as the best Star Trek movie for me.

My personal ranking of the ST movies.

1. ST II
2. Star Trek (JJ Abrams reboot)
3. ST VI
4. ST First Contact
5. ST IV
6. ST III
7. ST The Motion Picture
8. ST Nemesis
9. ST Generations
10. ST V
11. ST Insurrection

Nero/Bana just needed a few more minutes of screen time, and have a slightly more distinctive look from his shipmates/crew...half the time I couldnt tell if it was Mr. Badguy or Ensign Lackey! Maybe do a longer backstory, showing the anguish over losing his wife and race...pooling into hate and plans for revenge, could have made a good movie even better.
