It’s worth noting that the last time I heard Ben Stiller talking Trek - five years ago on the official podcast - he made it pretty clear that he was a TOS fan, and hadn’t really seen anything else.
Nothing wrong with that at all, but relevant IMO.
Also, he definitely doesn’t actually have a pitch.
…they asked him “Do you have any Star Trek pitches?” He promptly replied, “Yeah, let’s do it.”
Christ… TOS is the worst of them for like the first 6 shows or something. Uncultured swine.
He only wants something TOS related (since he only watches TOS). But that won’t happen.
Star Trek tends to suck on the big screen because instead of relatable sci-fi we get action scenes and explosions. It’s not the same.
Are we watching the same movies because the criticisms I usually hear leveled at the TOS films are that they are too philosophical and boring
you smashed your little ships
Hasn’t basically every star trek movie been kinda bad?
iMO the IP does better when it has time to go slow.
Well this is a take I can’t believe is being upvoted…
To answer your question, no every movie has been good. I’m sure if they made a Section 31 movie it would be good too but they never actually made it so we’ll never know.
I haven’t seen every Star Trek movie but the ones I’ve seen have been pretty bad.
I’m here for the philosophy and the diplomacy, the movies always feel like they are made for a different audience.
Movie Star Trek is different from TV Star Trek. Except for Insurrection which is just a 2 part episode in a movie trench coat. And probably Section 31 but I don’t plan to watch that and find out.
i hope that it’s star trek but it’s literally just his character from extras.
