The relationships and whatnot didn't interest me. And yeah, they sucked. I just wanted to see the idea of the now-deceased Data being immortally 'passed on' through B4's memories.DigitalDuality said:Really? Introducing that into the movies i thought was a horrible idea. I don't thing TNG movies (except first contact) were worth a damn. God they were awful.
Hmmmm.... Never thought about it like that. You're right, I think.DigitalDuality said:I think it would be neat if the series still existed, that's what was beautiful about Data. You started from scratch with him, an android that didn't understand sayings such as "burn the midnight oil" for instance, who grew and grew little by little into understanding everything there was to know about being human without having any emotion.. and then finally obtaining the emotion chip. I would've been more interested in seeing him explore how to handle these new found feelings.. something i think First Contact touched on nicely and even Insurrection touched on as well (the idea of kids "playing").
But now, now you're kinda back to square one. And no weekly tv show in order to show that growth.
Excellent. The perfect opportunity for Data to be zapped into the past and buddy up with Kirk. I should be a ST scriptwriter.Indelibleface said:Oh, yeah, and there's time travel too.

L2R said:regardless of how good or crap the film is, it won't be a financial disaster. with a director like abrams at the helm, at least the marketing department will ensure an massive impulsive audience....
....in the first week at least.
Spazzzz? said:I never really liked any of the Star Trek movies, original cast or TNG cast, so this new one is really going to have to blow my mind to rid of my preconceptions about the shit movies.
I don't really know what makes me dislike the movies so much, they just lack the magic of the TV series. I like em all, but DS9 is by far the lowest one my list. (but I still love it)
The Voyager episodes "Year of Hell pt 1 & 2" could've been made into its own movie its so good. Shit, I can think of a few two part episodes throughout the different series that could've been made into movies that would've blown away any of the ST movies.
Despite his high billing, Eric Bana has described his role as the villainous Nero in J.J. Abrams upcoming "Star Trek" feature film as "a cameo".
Paramount is undergoing a bit of a shake-up in its schedule reports Variety.
The most notable change is that J.J. Abrams big-budget "Star Trek" feature is being delayed a full five months from Christmas 2008 to May 8th 2009 with the studio citing that the new date has far more profitability.
This isn't the first delay like this, soon after the writer's strike began Sony Pictures similarly delayed is 'Da Vinci Code' sequel "Angels & Demons" from December 18th 2008 to May 15th 2009. Unlike that production however, 'Trek' is through much of its shooting already.
Still, this is one of the few occasions where a delay of this magnitude can actually be seen as a good thing. The new date makes a lot more sense from various perspectives, not the least of which is that nothing else has been scheduled to open that week.
The new date allows more time for exposure and publicity to sell the public on the idea of a Trek reinvention, and gives plenty of time for any necessary reshooting.
Abrams and crew previously admitted that they wanted to make changes to the script during the production, but the strike hampered their ability to do so. In spite of the extra cost that may ensue, the delay gives them some good leeway to fix those problems.
