In addition, I would add: a difficult moral dilemma (I'm talking Dostoevsky rather than Punky Brewster difficult). I want something that challenges the mind and creates enduring discussions about issues rather than vapid conversation about special effects. I'm looking for interplay between the characters that advances already complex relationships and reveals insight that makes the viewer say, "of course that happened. That explains a lot." What will be unconscionable is if they sacrifice Star Trek to their own political shibboleths, political correctness, or if they emasculate Kirk creating a feminized version of one of the truly great heroic characters. #94 Litenburg

What??!! Why do we have to wait for THAT?? Tell those lazy indifferent bastards at Paramount to spend the money and get the DEFINITIVE version to us NOW, as in YESTERDAY!! Sheeit, were these people BORN stupid? #95 “even MORE enhancements and improvements”.

For that possibility ALONE, I welcome this movie. :D Just a thought… but the bigger the smash that this upcoming TOS-era Movie is, then bigger the chance of an eventual Star Trek:The Original Series REMASTERED PROJECT MARK II… featuring even MORE enhancements and improvements over and above what CBS-Digital have been able to give us at present!

Thanks for listening to the advice. I need a true Star Trek adventure. I want to feel the love, humor, awe and wonder again. I want to find myself sitting on the edge of my seat and not recalling when I got there. I want old friends to "live" again. (Not referring to Generations..) I want the good guys to win but nearly die trying to save or do what's right. I don't expect A mission Impossible ep impersonating as Trek here. Abrams can do action, but I believe he knows TOS ... and knows better than mess too much with a proven formula. #93 Scop.

I have taken your advice, however, and read through some of the material on the site. I'm pleased that Paramount has handed over the reins to a new creative brain trust. Hope springs eternal. Based on previous films, I have little doubt that Abrams and team will be able to come up with a high-intensity action script. But Hollywood is overflowing with the same and, in spite of the explosions, plot twists, and special effects ... they're yawners. Whether or not the new team can fold in the iconic, complex characters in a satisfying way without emasculating them--or have the courage to challenge the intellect ... well, that's what distinguishes a masterpiece from a boiler-plate soporific. Question: What is it you need from this film? How will you know if it's dynamite or a dud? #92 Litenbug

Whether or not the new team can fold in the iconic, complex characters in a satisfying way without emasculating them–or have the courage to challenge the intellect … well, that’s what distinguishes a masterpiece from a boiler-plate soporific.

Question: What is it you need from this film? How will you know if it’s dynamite or a dud?

Second, if you followed the news, you'd know who HAS written the script and who HAS taken the director's chair.

If the same people who wrote TNG, Voyager, and Enterprise get hold of this, it will be Kirk, Spock, and McCoy sitting around a table solving whatever conflict they face through "understanding." Far more important than who plays Kirk will be whether the writers and director have enough testosterone to be true to the original series. Political correctness has already taken its toll turning a vibrant epic into bland curiosity. That is why the spinoffs seem like a bowl of pablum.
