    Bringing back Kahn, even if it is very well done, would be a very bad idea.

     

    Look, after Nemesis and Enterprise it was a hard-fought battle to bring in new fans, and we aren't at the "Mission Accomplished" stage yet. People liked XI but are still skeptical about fiture instalments. Revisiting Kahn would just be too gimicky and would be interpreted as "Out of ideas already, huh?"

     

    I think they should bring back Khan but not immediately, maybe a couple of films down the line would be good. At the moment I think the people behind the latest film have reclaimed Star Trek from the tired road it was going down and shouldn't have a problem coming up with their own story.

    I can't really choose. As a child it was always Kirk, but as I got older McCoy and Spock are such important characters to the show. Sorry to sit on the fence, but the three of them are what really makes Star Trek.

    Saw it on the first day in the UK and I have to say - wow! A much better attempt than the more recent films, and a damn sight better edited.

     

    I admit that (with the exception of TNG) Star Trek has always been about Kirk and Co. From DS9 onwards I felt that Star Trek had become a bit of a soap opera and lost some of the action and adventure that made it such a success. I was unsure what to expect when I sat in my seat at the cinema and expectations were low, but what I saw was easily the best Star Trek for a long while.

    While I love the trilogy of 2 – 4 and feel that style was greatly needed for the films to be successful, I also feel that by the time of the fifth film that perhaps a more serious tone was needed as the films began to be comedies. This was rectified by ST6, however I always feel ST1 makes a nice change because it is so different and still works imo.

    On the TAS series, people in space are able to breathe without the use of a huge space suit by pushing a button on their belts. But, in the 24th century live action series, they are still using space suits. I know that TAS isn't considered official canon, but I would think they would have been able to eliminate the use of bulky space suits by the 24th century the way they have in the TAS series. Thoughts?

     

    In the TNG episode "Timescape" they create temporal belts that are somewhat similar. Perhaps there is a link.

    I'm sorry but I have to disagree with this media view that the TNG movies were bad. Ok they were not a good as the trilogy of II - IV or Star Trek 6 but they weren't bad by any means.

     

    First Contact was easily the best of the bunch and up there with Wrath of Khan for action, an excellent film. Insurrection wasn't bad either, yes it was slightly weak in plot but the essentials were there with some nice scenes.

     

    Generations wasn't great, an overblown tv double parter and a bit unnecessary killing Kirk and destroying the Enterprise, but Nemesis was worse. Nemesis seemed a film that was never completed, the editing was poor with scene cuts feeling jarred. But at least they were all better than Final Frontier!

    After seeing the new trailer I can't say I'm overly impressed. I'll wait till I see the film but I can't really see it fitting into Trek history as we know it, so I'm looking at it as a recon and something completely different to the Star Trek we know and love.

     

    If the whole thing stands on it's own, then fine. If not I'll just write it off and go back to The Wrath of Khan - Voyage Home trilogy, which in my eyes can't be beaten anyway.
