Was Movie Summer 2010 a TNG Rehash?

[Vic 17]

Supposedly, there are five basic plots, so sooner or later, fans will see a story that looks rather familiar to them.

 

 

According to UGO, some of the movies from this summer could be matched with Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes like Tapestry, Lower Decks, and Journey’s End.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shrek Forever, according to UGO, can compare with Tapestry. In Tapestry, Picard sees how his life could have been different had he not got into a brawl with a Nausicaan which resulted in him receiving an artificial heart, while in Shrek Forever, Shrek imagines what his life would have been like if he had stayed true to his ogre roots.

 

 

Of course, the “what your life could have been like” story has been done before, in movies such as “It’s a Wonderful Life” and in television shows such as Dallas.

 

 

The Other Guys, which tells the story of the NYPD accountants and benchwarmers “in the shadow of the Big Collar Cops” can be compared with Lower Decks, in which non-senior staff who are usually seen in passing, if at all, are featured.

 

 

Salt can be compared to Face of the Enemy, as “A raven-haired beauty who may be fighting on the side of freedom or may be working from within on behalf of a totalitarian empire.” This description might describe Angelina Jolie as a Russian double agent Salt, or Marina Sirtis as Troi, who ends up working from within on behalf of the totalitarian Romulans.

And, after five series, and eleven films, one can't expect to NOT encounter recurring ideas....

Salt can be compared to Face of the Enemy, as “A raven-haired beauty who may be fighting on the side of freedom or may be working from within on behalf of a totalitarian empire.” This description might describe Angelina Jolie as a Russian double agent Salt, or Marina Sirtis as Troi, who ends up working from within on behalf of the totalitarian Romulans.

 

I didn't see Salt but from this description it sounds more like the original Aeon Flux on MTV. We don't really know what Aeon's agenda is or if it is good or bad. We already know Troi is a Starfleet officer in disguise. The only confusing thing is the audience getting a grip that in this rare occurrence the Tal Shiar's agenda works with the Federation's.

I never saw the The Aeon Flux movie, it didn't explain her agenda?
