A couple of articles say it's supposed to be good.

 

Is Star Trek: Axanar still in litigation?

Well from what it says is JJ said they are getting paramount to drop the case but I don't think anything official yet.

[Tokoya]

Campea thinks that this will satisfy both guys like me and guys like you @ FrostyMouse =o



I'm fucking HYPED

EDIT: The film is currently at 86% in Rotten Tomatoes

We'll see, @ Tokoya .  It would be nice if it did.  For what it's worth, I don't care for ToS.  I just don't like where JJTrek has gone.

4th Trek is a go. Chris Hemsworth to return.

So, the new ship looks combination of a reconfigured Miranda-class saucer section and a Vor'cha-class hull.  WTF?

@ Tokoya

Can't watch the video atm but is that of the Enterprise or the Jonathan?

It's the new ship for the new CBS show, the USS Discovery.

 

It looks like an amalgamation of the Miranda, the Akira, and the Vor'cha (that part's terrible because no Klingon stuff in my Federation ship).

@ Tokoya

is it a war ship?

[FrostyMouse]

is it a war ship?

No one knows.  That's all we got.  We don't even know the time frame, but, given that it's pre-NCC-1701, it's probably set somewhere between Enterprise and ToS.  The USS Akira, for example, was NCC-62497.

Having Klingon gear in it is pretty suspect if you ask me....Especially considering the timeline

What are your thoughts?  Does that look like the hull of a Klingon ship to you?

 

Well, the NCC number would seem to indicate that it's another early history series, but they might just want a low number on the titular ship.

 

I'd rather see a late, late 24th century or early 25th century show.

@ FrostyMouse - Have you seen Beyond yet?

 

Was curious (if you did) how the Enterprise A looked to the original one?

I haven't yet.

Beyond was super boring and felt like it went nowhere. Apparently it is similar to the OG Star Trek pacing.

 

But I'm not an OG Star Trek fan so...

[Tokoya]

I thought the movie was great albeit it not being better than the previous 2 however in terms of characterization and the dynamic between the main crew, this film handled it the best by far

@ FrostyMouse , it does a little bit but I don't really know what to think of it at this point.....Gotta wait for more details before I can truly make out how I feel

[Narubi]

Just saw Beyond.

 

The film itself was okay. Could have been better in some regards.

But overall was okay and a little better than the previous 2 films. Which I didn't care that much for.

 

Anyways here's what bothered me the most about the film.

 

Spoiler

For starts the antagonist felt rather underdeveloped. Like any reasoning or depth to his character came way near the end, and more like a "eh" type of thing than a surprising one. Also to add to this issue, I feel the lack of development for the character also held back Idris Elba's ability to act. As he didn't really seem to be able to give a great performance that somebody of his caliber would be able to give.

 

I liked the space station of Yorktown. However from the series and films, there was no indication of anything like that existing, and thus felt odd as well maybe too advanced in some way. Granted I never read books, comics, etc, that expanded the universe. So not sure if stuff like this were there or not. But even still, with what I know, it felt odd.

 

Already knew that they were destroying the ship again from the trailers. Even so, still doesn't mean I have to like it. Especially considering how they don't make the ship seem to last much. I mean in the original time line, the Enterprise lasted for 20-25 years. This ship lasted from what appears to be about 10 or less. 

 

They're already moving onto Enterprise A, even though the letters originally didn't start till much later. Where as this is happening not even past the 3rd year of the Five Year Mission. The real issue with the A IMO, is the look. Seen some people say it looks better than the original A. But after seeing it for myself. The original is IMO by far better. This newer one looks somewhat the same as the normal Enterprise, just a little different here an there, to which ends up making it look odd. I was expecting a enhanced version of the original. Not THAT!!! For once I'm actually hoping they destroy the ship in the next film lol. Now I worry what the Excelsior is going to end up looking like if they show that at all.

 

In any case I'm still liking the older films more.

So firstly this'll be 10 years prior to the TOS 5 Year Mission, and secondly this'll be more focused in on a female Lt. rather than thee highest ranking officer (usually a Cpt.). 

 

I don't have any issue with it being 10 Years prior to TOS 5 Year Mission.

Though hopefully they don't try to pull a bunch of cameo's an such for younger TOS crew.

 

Not sure about the difference in POV via the Main Character. I suppose it could be interesting if this allows us to get more of the crew outside of the bridge or ranking/important officers. Though if this Lt. just sticks mostly to the bridge and around ranking officers, then they'd probably just been better off with another Cpt. character. 

[Royal_King]

Well what little hype this had is dead
