The New Star Trek Film
Filed under General • 26-02-2009 •
The reason shows like Star Trek were so loved in their day is that when they first appeared, they were new and exciting and they epitomised the zeitgiest of their time. Where are the shows that do that for our time? Where are the films our kids will look back on with nostalgia? When my daughters go to the cinema, they’re going to want something more than tired retellings of shows that first aired before their father was born.
After all, what’s going to happen when they run out of old movies and shows to remake?
Maybe it’s time Hollywood stopped spending all its money on CGI and started investing in a few decent writers, and some new ideas?
Well said. I hear they are also remaking Total Recall but with “a twist”! Why that film needs remaking I’m not sure…
However the remake of Battlestar Galactica is much superior to the original, so remakes aren’t all bad. I want them to remake Buck Rogers in the same gritty fashion, get rid of the odd 70s discos that seem to be so prevalent in the 25th century.
The new star Trek film was great, I thought the guy from Heroes play Spock was amazing…he is really good at acting cold!
