They even whitewashed the giant firebreathing snake mounts! Racists.
The trailer is good, the reuse of “Sabotage” is a flawed decision. It’s inclusion in the ‘09 movie and trailer was to reintroduce Kirk as a rebellious kid in a way modern, young, non-trekkie audiences could understand. I never took it as representative of the Star Trek universe canonically, although it is emblematic…
I’m a huge Beastie Boys fan, and I’m fine with a song being in the teaser, and if it’s in the movie I hope it makes sense or that they’re a reason someone is listening to music from 200(?) ish years ago.
The only one who feels like the same character is McCoy. It’s not a guy playing a different character or doing a DeForest Kelley impression, it’s a guy playing the character and doing a darned good job at it. Everybody else feels like just a random person with the same name. (Though I do adore Simon Pegg’s “Scotty”.)

My instant reaction was annoyance, but honestly I think it’s a good choice. It’s a statement, declarative. They’re not pretending to be Star Trek. They’re Cool Shooty Space Men. In Space. And that’s fine.
Likely because “NuTrek” shares nearly zero recognizance for anything that came before. Seriously, I don’t even recognize these characters anymore.
“The fan reaction to the first The Force Awakens teaser was mostly “How dare they have a crossguard lightsaber?” and “How dare they have a black Stormtrooper?””
I think the Trek series has reached full “Haters Gonna Hate” status. It really doesn’t matter what they do at this stage, people are going to complain loudly about it. But it’s their own fault, having dug such a hole for themselves with the first two movies.
Everyone said Episode 1 was the best film ever the day it was released.... except the guy who was filmed asking/demanding that Lucas make a formal apology as he thought it was that bad.
People won’t fully admit how bad a star wars film is for several weeks/months they are mostly blindly saying how great it is.
It hadn’t occurred to me before but if they were going by original Trek canon, that song (and maybe Beastie Boys as a group) probably wouldn’t have existed due to the Eugenics Wars of the 1990s. But I guess they revised that in the new canon to where it was a secret war illuminati thing... So “it’s in the DNA of this…
It’s a trailer for a Star Trek movie. No matter the quality people were going to be angry at it.
Justin Lin defends the use of the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage” in the film’s trailer:
If you’ve read the series of novels by James S.A. Corey, then the most surprising thing about The Expanse is that it…
I did too! I don’t know that the movie was received very well by critics or not, but I enjoyed the hell out of it. Only knew Yelchin from Star Trek before I saw that too, but he was damn good with Tennant
Crystal Skull was certainly not the best Indiana Jones movie but It wasn’t utter garbage like a lot of people claim. Yeah it has dumb moments like the fridge protecting Indy from the nuclear blast. But really, is that any dumber than the mine cart race. Watch that again and imagine how that would go in real life.…
Just remember, people have also loved the hell out of movies that actually deserved it, too. :) No one’s a better judge of a movie than yourself.
Hate to be the pessimist but after this article: http://www.gamesradar.com/star-wars-epis…
Well if Rob Liefeld liked it it must be utter garbage! Bet the characters didn’t have feet, had huge bulging ridiculous muscles, blasters bigger then them, pouches all over, and were named Bloodkill.
