Star Trek: Beyond (Dir. Justin Lin)
Looking forward to this, I feel like Lin could do well with it. Kinda hope that this thing is just contained to one remote planet, would be a nice change of pace from the continuous world building of the last 2

Hologram Paul Walker as Q would be quite a coup

Re: Star Trek: Beyond (Dir. Justin Lin)
It doesn't seem much like star trek in a sense. If the new show is more cerebral, then I'm happy with the movies being action based.

He is, but he was more of a name/financial backing/support? on this one I would imagine. He was doing Star Wars so he had no real involvement on this movie from what I heard (on Stern).

Re: Star Trek: Beyond (Dir. Justin Lin)
He just has producer credit on this. Pegg wrote it. Judging from the way they're showing the action, this looks like Lin in full on FF5-6 mode

Re: Star Trek: Beyond (Dir. Justin Lin)
I thought Pegg was a legit star trek fan. I'm surprised he wrote this. Im sure the studio placed certain demands on the screenplay, though.

i dunno man, that's a lot of martial arts for a star trek movie
Re: Star Trek: Beyond (Dir. Justin Lin)
Not mad at that trailer at all.
Trekkies were nerd raging with Vulcan in the first one, imagine their reaction if we get the Enterprise dragging that big ass Borg cube around the galaxy wrecking shit up.

Justin Lin is not talented and sucks balls.
He ruined Fast & Furious (an once-impervious franchise) and he's also responsible for this atrocity.

Re: Star Trek: Beyond (Dir. Justin Lin)
Ruined as in brought back from near obsolescence to improbably being one of the most popular and profitable franchises of all time? What an asshole.

refuse to watch the trailer; is this a movie or a show?

Have the Beastie Boys ever licensed their music for a film before? I thought they had a strict no-advertising use of their music policy. I guess movie trailers don't count?

Re: Star Trek: Beyond (Dir. Justin Lin)
Lin apparently didn't want that song or the motorcycle in the trailer because he didn't want to alienate the old core ST fans
apparently this one totally ignores that little detail about how the 2nd one introduces immortality/a way to bring anybody back from the dead into the continuity, probably for the best

Re: Star Trek: Beyond (Dir. Justin Lin)
Staring to genuinely feel bad for Lin and Pegg, they're getting railed since the trailer and at this point are just pleading with people to give them a chance at all

New trailer to quell nerd vitriol:
Re: Star Trek: Beyond (Dir. Justin Lin)

Re: Star Trek: Beyond (Dir. Justin Lin)

Re: Star Trek: Beyond (Dir. Justin Lin)
Nothing mindblowing but I enjoyed it enough.
There's some awkward clashing between Pegg's script, which needs room for it's ticks and quips to breathe, and Lin's direction which is still in frantic Fast&Furious mode, but when the two sides gel this is a fun lowstakes outing. It felt more like a TV show episode on a big budget than an event movie, but I'm not mad at that. I think this actually made it feel more Trek-y in a way, especially after Into Darkness played like a generic summer action blockbuster.

Re: Star Trek: Beyond (Dir. Justin Lin)
yeah. The whole episodic vs. cinematic argument seems to never end. movies that feel like tv/streaming shows and tv/streaming shows that play out like movies. the action blockbusters suffer this reverse role the most, esp the marvel movies.drizzle wrote:It felt more like a TV show episode on a big budget than an event movie, but I'm not mad at that.

Re: Star Trek: Beyond (Dir. Justin Lin)
you're thinking of something different
Marvel's movies purposefully build a continuous narrative where one movie feeds the next. That's not what happened here.
This felt episodic more in the sense of an anthology series. An almost standalone, self-contained adventure for the crew, placed in the context of a continuing series of such adventures - just like the Trek tv shows.

Re: Star Trek: Beyond (Dir. Justin Lin)
Ah, ok. Totally understood .
Couldn't help but feel a bit pained watching Yelchin in his scenes. Hard to think how they can go forward without Chekhov, or another one. He was so, so good.

Re: Star Trek: Beyond (Dir. Justin Lin)
did not like how buddy movieish this felt. like it's an earlier star trek movie. very suck on that front. disappointing overall but not bad per se but I'm not recommending it to anyone.
opening sequence with the swarm was dope. final sequence at the base was dope.
