I am new on this site and not to familiar with star trek, though i have been trying to make time to watch it i haven't yet. What i am doing posting this is pointing out 3 very important things:
A) This movie is creating a new fan base and also creating interest in watching the old movies and series for people that have wanted to for some time.
(this thing turns into a smiley but its B ) The movie had to be an alternate universe different from the old one because:
1. The old one (universe/storyline just to be clear) should get to rest in peace you guys wouldn't want a follow up to the old series that would screw them up its been to long. Let them try and make a new story line, a new star trek with some resemblance to the old one ... but still no relations, that is anything happening in this story line has no effect on the old one ... a remade star trek
2. They don't have the same actors the same props writers etc. they would always fail at trying to make some direct follow up
3. It leaves more uncertainty for the hardcore fans, you get to experience new star trek movies, some guy that posted here before even said there might be new series, so instead of watching the old series you have already seen again or just stop watching star trek you guys get a new storyline more speculating and new people to argue with
C) The last thing i want to point out is that although this movie has bits and pieces that everyone would consider stolen (the platforms he was fighting on somehow reminded me of star wars (this opinion will probably be crushed but it still did) and the ice planet reminded me of a dozen movies first he is stranded there then he is chased by something big and mean that is eaten by something bigger he runs away and of course finds a cave.. and of course there is someone inside the cave and of course he is plot significant....) i mean it's kind of foreseen how the movie goes but the reason it is excused is that they had to make a new platform for building movies perhaps series on in about 2 hours and the main focus of the movie was on building up characters (granted they are stolen from the old series in every way and built up in a different manner, but the world is still different with no vulcan and all) the movie it self is a bit of a cliche action scifi movie but it creates a lot of opportunities for a cool story line
I hope you won't dismiss my comments on the basis of me not being a star trek fan enough or that i don't know what i'm saying cause i haven't seen all the episodes and read all the novels or something, but consider this: I came her and registered because of the movie and i will probably also be watching the old star trek because of it. You have to see this movie as a positive thing for the community even though it isn't exactly like you would have wanted it to be but if you look at the old star trek other really really popular tv shows and movies they seldomly end like you would have wanted to, which is what makes them great.
I would like to note that i my native language is not english and that any grammar, spelling or solecism on my behalve was not intended and a mistake i appologise for.
Rate Star Trek (2009)
