No, just no.

Yeah, that was pretty much my thoughts on the matter. That said, I'm hoping to be surprised.

I fear that this will lead to yet another reboot saga that focuses on pure action and forgets about the story part of Star Trek that made the series so captivating. I'm also hoping to be proven wrong here, the anniversary movie is a BIG DEAL to the franchise if they are going to continue to bring new fans to the Star Trek universe.

Oh damn...there I was, hoping that the twitter craze of #BringInRiker was going to work

So lens flare will be replaced with even more explosions, mainstream music, and the Enterprise being ramped off an eighteen engine freighter...

I'd like to be incredibly critical here and say we'll hit a stage where we would rather the lense flare, but really, we wont. This still seems like a bad idea.

The guy may be a closet Star Trek fan... 'course the last time that happened was Nemesis...

*Please don't be terrrible....*

It's obvious to me that Paramount does not care about Star Trek apart from making money off the name. That is why new STIII will be a action-oriented plot-barren mediocre movie.

Because they know it will make money, just like the first 2 movies.

sigh....gorramit

Oh my....I'm stunned for words about this particular choice.

So... should we expect the enterprise to finally have a set of racing stripes and a new assistant chief engineering - a cameo from Vin Diesel to make an appearance in this one as an alien with a limited speech... wait...

The Enterprise will now be pimped out with spinning rims and one of those neon lights that makes the undercarriage glow. Oh, Kirk and Spock will decide to pull one last heist to get enough latinum to go where no one has gone before and get the heat (Starfleet) off their backs so Spock and Uhura can finally have their love child. Cumberbatch will return in true Rock form to try to stop the team and ultimately join them as a matter of honor. Okay...that's enough comparisons to Fast and Furious for now...

In short, this is terrible news!!!

As a fan of JJTrek,

Star Trek 3 Plot: The Enterprise is going to be drag racing around Nebulae and drifting around Planets. Racing the Klingons and Romulans along the way. The Warp Core will be turbo-charged of course!

Ben, don't forget the NOS. It can't go into overdrive without the NOS kicked in. ;-)
