Well, it IS just a preview, but I kinda see your point. But movies are fantasy. Big budget movies require big audiences, and one way to bring them (and me) in is to make movies like this. I, for one, enjoyed the hell out of the previous movie (think I'll watch it on BluRay right now), and I have no doubt I'll love this one.

Is character development really needed for characters we've known for over 45 years? Granted, new actors will portray them a little differently, and the reboot takes place earlier than TOS. Maybe it's just me, but I didn't find myself wanting for more character exposition after the last movie. Hell, I thought they did an awesome job of introducing each character and laying out their individual personalities and quirks.

My least favorite of all the Star Trek series was TNG. I dug it, but it would be at the bottom if I had to rank them. I dunno, too idealist and preachy, maybe. JFC, I think Picard referred to the Prime Directive at least once an episode. Some episodes just bored me to death. I wanted every episode to be Enterprise vs. the Borg. I much prefer Kirk kicking a Gorn's ass, or fighting alongside Abe Lincoln, or in pursuit of the Praetor's finest flagship, or battling Apollo or "General Trelane, Retired". TOS was often campy, but always fun, and that's how I prefer my Star Trek.


Edit: Noted that you were speaking more generally about movies nowadays, and I'm speaking specifically about Star Trek.

Don't you dare dis the Gorn!

These were great. Part 1 started out with a really cleverly edited scene ripped from First Contact that showed the mirror universe's meeting between Zefram Cochrane and the Vulcans. Not to spoil anything, but it turned out...differently.

The rest was pretty good too...Gorns, Tholians and a Constitution class starship (TOS era) kicking the ass of the Enterprise era ships. What's not to like?
