Star Trek: Nemesis
|
IMDB rating: 6.40 Plot: On their way to Riker’s and Troi’s honeymoon, the Enterprise is sent near the neutral zone to Romulan space, and picks up a prototypic twin of android Data. Immediately they are further sent to Romulus, where a new praetor, Shinzon, a human cloned from Captain Picard who lives on the slave planet Remus, appears to want peace with the Federation. But then the crew detects a break-in on their computer systems, and Picard is captured by the Remans because Shinzon needs him as his only matching supplier of genetic material. Picard and the Enterprise can escape, only to find themselves battling Shinzon’s completely cloaked Warbird, who is after the complete destruction of earth. |

Has the new Star Trek movie obliterated the Star Trek franchise?
SInce the success of the new film, new people have been wooed to the franchise - however, many are discovering that the franchise is nowhere as great as the new film.
In addition, the franchise as it was prior to the film is now "set in an alternate" universe - and is no longer relevant. Its gone.
Of course there will be some who will resent that notion - but I somehow cannot see Paramount splashing huge amounts of cash on that time-line anymore - the last time they did - it was called Nemesis.
New fans who like the film MAY have to wait for the sequel or a new series - and that could take years.
Has Paramount chucked out the baby with the bathwater?
Opinions please.
I would say that it is the other way around. The new film, in combination with the ill fated Enterprise series have actually done a lot of harm to the franchise. They haven’t made it irrelevant, they have tainted the name of Star Trek, and people who see them won’t bother to look at the older ones.
The original star trek and TNG, plus the original films had a massive cult following that sustained the Star Trek franchise for decades through conventions and merchandise, not to mention video games and DVD sales.
However, enterprise and the new film do NOT have this cult following. They are highly polished yet highly generic action/adventure properties that have failed to attract a sustainable audience, and which have actually turned off a lot of potential fans who have seen Enterprise and the new movie and instead of becoming interested in the originals have labeled them as being dumb action movies/series without even watching them. And thus have not become fans and have not gone on to support the franchise by buying merchandise or attending conventions.
This is a complete disaster. A new generation of fans has been lost before they were even found, and it will cost Start Trek in the long term by killing off potential sources of revenue. While the existing fan base ages and dwindles it is not being replaced because of these dumb movies/series.
Nemesis was a a mistake, In fact it was exactly the same mistake. Both the new film and Nemesis were action movies with a Star Trek theme, not actual Star Trek movies. They were aimed at action movie fans, not Star Trek fans. They took out most of the adventure and the science fiction and ended up making Die Hard in space. which frankly sucked.
There won’t be any new films using the old actors, not because the new film killed off the franchise, but because most of the original/TNG actors are old and wrinkly and only really suited for cameos, and because they don’t want to do a new film because they know that the studios will ruin it like they did with Nemesis.

The sequel is slated for 2011. That’s reasonable, even though I’d like to see it next week;)
It’s true that I (not a trekkie) am not going to check out all the previous Star Trek films. I’ve seen a couple of them on TV, have watched some episodes of the series .. but it now feels dated. I’m totally digging the new crew and look forward to seeing more of them. Especially Spock, he’s always been my fave char and Quinto is perfect.
I don’t get your question. What Paramount wisely did is to lift the franchise out of its narrow niche. Look at the box office numbers of the previous Star Trek films! Not impressive at all. The new Star Trek is doing tremendously well. So what’s the problem?

they have made a bit of a pigs ear of it, plus all that alternate timeline stuff is a major headache. it was bad enough with the occasional mirror universe episodes on trek and back to the future 2

The canon information up until the point at which the movie split off into the "alternate universe" still IS relevant. Just saying.
I’m a new fan. I’ll be waiting for the sequels. I’m sure there won’t be a new series with all the actors they used in the new film.
By the way, I may enjoy action films, but that does not make me a neanderthal. And if it turns out that the next film is reported to have little to no action, I’ll STILL show up to watch it. I’ll be happy to watch it.
