Reboots again and again, how are we supposed to connect with these characters on any substantial level when they keep changing actors and storylines so drastically time & again… we desperately need some continuity to establish some connectivity of feeling/attachment to these franchises. I don’t want to see another actor in the role of Hulk, I don’t want a Spiderman reboot, I don’t want 2 entirely different actors playing the same role say in a solo superhero flick vs. an ensemble hero flick like the Avengers ( keep it consistent to establish believability!), but most of all I don’t want any NewTrek actors replaced during its movie run which will probably be short lived if they waste too much time between films or start messing with the actors! Continuity is the Key to success IMHO!!!! And I don’t believe that a TV series would detract from the movie franchise when all we get is a flick every 2-4 years, so bring back Trek to the small screen soon as I am hungry for more new 1st run Trek… Please!!!

#95: “I’d like to see either a universal conservative message”

I expect very strongly that we’ll get exactly that again.

“universal liberal message”?

I’d like to see either a universal conservative message — or no “message” at all.

I want to be entertained and I don’t appreciate being told what to think politically.

I’m glad to see they’ve got a release date set.
Now–I’d like to know if Admiral Pike will be a part of the story.
I sure hope so, as he was my favorite.
I’ll be happy if Pike(Bruce Greenwood) is there no matter what the story is!

73: You have a very good point!
I’d like to add that the third movie phenomenon even affected the original Star Wars trilogy. (The prequel trilogy seems to be the exception from the rule, here the third one was really the best, IMO.)

I think it’s not just the apparent majority in this forum who get annoyed with reboot-mania in Hollywood. The huge success of Avatar demonstrates that audiences really are yearning for an original movie. (OK, Cameron’s story is pretty ecclectic, as he himself admits, but it’s still an original story.)

#91: “it will be in 3-D.”

Very very likely, I agree.

“It will have a greater romantic involvement which panders to women.”

Well, I hope it will have … any form of improved characterization at all, and certainly greater romantic involvement would qualify. I hope, however, that you’re wrong about the pandering. They did pandering last time; I’m hoping they actually, honestly engage this time around.

“It will have a universal liberal message.”

I’d wager real money to the contrary.

“It will explore a much more alien world that evokes awe and wonder from the audience.”

I hope very much you’re right. I’m not sure if there’s a real chance, but I do hope.

“I would also expect that it will have more substance, but that isn’t saying much is it?”

There are forms of slapstick with more substance :) But yes, here’s hoping, indeed.

“And if Avatar is the bar for substance [...]”

Yikes; scary thought. Avatar had many critical elements Star Trek lacked or undermined, but they were also fairly basic. I would hope Avatar would never be considered the bar for substance, except possibly in the area of visual alien worldbuilding (which is certainly one worthy _facet_ of substance in a Sci-Fi flick).
