Trailer Watch - Star Trek

So, Star Trek is coming... Yawn...

Ok, so I'm not a Trekkie but honestly, how are there any Trekkies anymore? Surely being beaten into the ground by crap like Star Trek: Insurrection makes you question your faith? No? How about the endless torture that was Enterprise?

Still there?

Ok so the guy who created lost and directed the last mess of a Mission: Impossible film was exactly who Paramount wanted to reboot one of thier most prized franchises. At this point, no one could make a bigger mess out of it so personally I think they should have saved 100 million dollars and gotten Uve Boll and a couple dozen rabid monkeys to type up the thing but maybe thats why I'm not a movie producer.

Star Trek 11 (yes ELEVEN!) works as a prequel to the Kirk/Spock timeline as well as a reimagining of the whole Trek universe. It even (God forbid!) goes against canon in its depiction of the early years of Kirk and Spock and thier initial meeting at the academy. While the trailer is undoubtedly well produced (which, from a major studio, it should be) the whole endeavour screans 90210 in space and Thunderbirds - all mixed into one big, uber-shiny mess.

You can all judge for yourselves come May 2009.
