Girl 1: Look at all those people waiting to see Star Trek
Girl 2: Yeah thats so lame. Star Trek sucks.
Said as they walked back into the Star Trek Movie...
Talk about hypocritical!
So my point? Well what is this new movie going to do for Trekkies, and the answer is nothing. It was just as great as the others with much better graphics and better film quality. The only change is new people might be converted and thats always a good thing.
Case in point, Serenity, more people including myself watched the Firefly TV series after seeing the movie. It was a cultist boon for sci fi lovers and in select cities there is a Browncoat day, where every year they show Serenity.
So for people who call it cheesy, hokey and corny, isn't that the majority of TV in general just dressed up as pop culture? Probably with worse screenwriting and yet that's better because its whats accepted by the majority, No thanks, I'd rather have philosophical questions asked with disconcerting answers.
Anyway for all those who see it, I hope you enjoy it.
So it was very much so Trekkie style just amped up with special affects and better filming that wasn't available in the 60's. Its just not the degradation. It was awesome because J. J. Abrams has worked with it, and perhaps now a new cultist group of fans can potentially happen.
I just think people who have criticized Star Trek won't really able to criticize the new movie like they have the past ones. It was trekky goodness through and through, I just don't think people who aren't trekkies will be bugged or recognize that.be able to criticize the new movie like they have the past ones.
