star trek 11

[shuttle_rtf]

Got a mate at Paramount who says this is now on and won't have any charaters from the TV series.<br /><br />Rick Berman and Brandon Braga producing and Michael Bay apparently being director (which I think is a first) with Jonathan Frakes assisting.<br /><br />Film nearly finished its writing stages. Craig Thomas "FireFox" writing after his first draft apparently got the suits at Paramount really excited.<br /><br />That's all I have! <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

Data, the ageless robot, was beginning to look a bit long in the tooth, especially on the big screen. It will be nice to have a whole new cast and story. They just better not mess it up. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

The only new SG I liked was First Contact - as it has a storyline that was pretty cool. They need to get the script right.

Star Trek 11 - you mean there have been 10 Star Trek movies already? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[shuttle_rtf]

You betcha!

 

[Leovinus]

Do we have to include the first one? It was SOOOO boring. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[CalliArcale]

I dunno; I kinda like the first one. But yes, it is rather long. It's sort of like 2001 in that respect. Or the original Russian film of Solaris. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>

Good news! I've grown fond of most of the Star Trek films, usually they are a good mix of suspense, action, humor and special effects. Michael Bay makes those big blockbuster action films right? Could turn out to be quite something.

 

[spaceinator]

could somebody list all the previous Star Trek movies? I thought i saw all of them... but i guess I was wrong...

There have been so many sendups of Kirk's line in that movie:<br /><br />"KHAAAN!" <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

Micheal (Pearl Harbour) Bay is a Hack.<br /><br />He's getting his grubby little paws on Transformers as well. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#800080">"All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring.

flynn,<br /><br />Well, as long as we don't get to see Ben Affleck in a Star Trek uniform, I'm OK with it.

That first one is "Star Trek The Slow-motion Picture" <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[mooware]

They actually cut scenes to shorten it. Can you imagine watching the extended version?<br /><br />

 

[CalliArcale]

I've seen the "director's cut" version, which is basically with those scenes put back in. I like it, but then, I kind of like that sort of movie. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> It's around three hours long, though, so you need time to burn if you're going to watch the long version. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>

I swear that half of that movie is shots of Sulu open-mouthed gaping at the Vger cloud. <zzzzzzz> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[elguapoguano]

The first half of Star Trek 1 was ok, the second half was just so damn boring I (who am a big Trek fan) could barely sit through it without looking for something else to do. Then after all is was a lost Voyager probe, I thought that was reallllllllly lame. " a planet of machines must have found it, and repaired it. (and created a light year long cloud of energy and crap that made it about a billion times smarter and more powerful, come on, not even in the Star Trek Universe would that happen) <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#ff0000"><u><em>Don't let your sig line incite a gay thread ;>)</em></u></font> </div>

 

[Leovinus]

You're right. One half expects Spock to walk out of there saying "I quit. Captain, this is so illogical I just can't stand it!" <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

<font color="yellow">I thought that was reallllllllly lame. " a planet of machines must have found it, and repaired it</font><br /><br />Well, that and a Voyager space craft would not have gotten all that far by the time of the Enterprise Re-fit. no where near even the closest star.

<i>“Well, that and a Voyager space craft would not have gotten all that far by the time of the Enterprise Re-fit. no where near even the closest star."</i><br /><br />Don’t worry; I’m sure there’s a good Star Trek explanation. “It fell into a warp-phased pathway, modulated by the theta radiation from a nearby black hole. Then, due to tetrion emissions produce by the warp bubble-it accelerated exponentially towards and inevitable collision with a type 3 civilization.” <br /><br />Captain Kirk: “So that’s how it happened.”<br />Spock: “Yes it is. I’ll stake my reputation on it.”<br /><br /><br />

 

[mooware]

There's enough techno-babble in there to just make it plausible too!<br /><br />

 

[nacnud]

Oh god not more trek, can't it just die in peace?
