My fellow ST fans. Just saw the Star Trek XI Teaser
I selfishly want this Star Trek movie to be awesome, but fear it won't. Here is my premise why.
According to box office sales, the latest Star Trek movie Star Trek Nemesis didn't do as well as it's predecessors. I've heard many reasons for this and the reason that resonates best with me is the movie does not appeal to what Star Trek stands for. It makes weak parallels on our current human condition, a concept that has made Star Trek what it is today.
They instead replaced depth with some action packed moments which can be enjoyed as an action thriller, not Star Trek. I admit, I've watched the Enterprise saucer section crashing into Shinzon's ship in slow motion at least 5 times, but that's more an obsession with the sheer size of the ships (yes, I'm a size queen).
JJ Abrams is a great director, but he's best known for super action thrillers such as: Cloverfield and Mission Impossible III. I hope they put some substance into this movie, I really do!
