The moment i left the movie theatre, deep down i feared that will happen. As i said, I liked what JJ did on the first. this no matter 'how' entertaining (action wise, cinematography, etc), didn't break new grounds, older viewer will quip on some 'things' and this and that.

i dont know. Perhaps the younger demographics prefer more 'twilight' & 'hunger games' ? no no not putting a dig on those type of movies but yeah i mean, perhaps  whistling.gif

It is underperforming? YES! HELL F*** YES! Hated the first rebooted movie (it's the worst junk food ever...), and I'd call myself a trekkie. Watched TOS once, TNG, DS9 and VOY probably around 3-5 times each, some episodes more (and rewatching TNG now), ENT I'll have to start again and TAS I need to watch. I'm boykotting the new one because it looks like it's going to be even worse than the first one... so yes... great news. Maybe the reboot is dead. I sure hope so.

Though probably if you don't like Star Trek or a movie making sense even within its own universe, then it's a good one. biggrin.gif I think I know more trekkies who hate JJ Trek than normal people who didn't like it.

JJ is leaving the director seat for the 3rd installment?

Probably. He'll be busy with Star Wars: Episode VII, and Paramount will not be willing to wait...

I wonder if the writers will take over... and if that will be a good thing. They have a great visual style, can describe awesome action scenes. But their writing...

I am equally disappointed.
I love what JJ did to Star Trek, the reboot. The attraction to mainstream moviers. But he left out me, us the Trekkies.
Honestly, I will have never the Original Star Trek but with this release, I may watch when time allow.

But still when the show ended, I felt something missing.
I am looking forward for more.
Something more original, something that more to the heart of Trekkies, yet others mainstream viewers able to be happily consume.

Sigh, but it is alright. Let's just hope there will be new Star Trek TV series coming up soon in the coming years.
Currently watching TNG in HD.

Luckily there is also Star Trek: Phase II and another new project that aims at doing TOS. Especially the latest project seems to be very close to the original.

I have finished TNG season 3, but I guess I'll start watching ENT...
