Just once I’d like a post where everyone is chill and positive about stuff instead of focusing on negative

Edit: I dunno why I expect people to ever be capable of being positive anymore. Dunno why I bother.

    Yeah, but those J.J. Abrams movies were still terrible. Star Trek made by someone who doesn’t like Star Trek. No.

      Did the same to star wars. He must hate sci fi because he’s ruined every sci fi show/movie he’s been involved in.

          He did a wonderful job on Lost… Well, the early set-up for Lost.

          See, JJ is phenomenal at building up mystery boxes. He’s just shit at putting anything inside those boxes.

          He can lay out questions and hints at world building like no other. He just never goes back and does any of that world building.

      Star Trek directed by someone who doesn’t like Star Trek. There were a lot of people on those movies who really loved Star Trek and it showed through. They’re not the best, that’s for sure, but I still like them for what they are. However I will say that Beyond is definitely my favorite. Might have something to do with JJ not directing it at all and it feeling like an interesting mix of a TOS episode and Kelvin timeline action/adventure.

      Also Idris Elba.

        I think Beyond was my least favorite of the newer ones personally, but I’d still put it above the last time I watched Motion Picture so it seems silly to me to trash those while elevating all the old ones.

        Star Trek is a universe of things between campy and serious. It’s possible enjoy them all, or ignore the ones to don’t.
