So here's what is PISSING me off!!!....: WHY is it that EVERYTIME one of these movie guys decides to do a "remake" of a classic TV show (in this case Star Trek), they have to "modernize" it and make it "hip"???????? WHAT??!?!??!?!?!? Why is it that they cannot just make a remake and have it be the same as what made the original so good in the first place?????????? Arrrrggghhh!!!
Now, please do not get me wrong. I am NOT a "Trekkie". Never been to a convention. Don't have the ears. I love the original show because I was a kid when it came out and I actually watched it!! (Same with the original Batman series) ANYWAY, I just read an article that says Captain Kirk is more "hip" in this movie. Apparently, making him a "badboy" is somehow "cool"...? WHATEVER!!!!
The whole cool thing about the original Kirk was his steadfast devotion to duty!! He would NEVER "sneak" aboard a starship!! He served on the Valiant or Reliant or something, for like 12 years before getting command of the Enterprise!! He was not a "loose cannon". He did not ride a friggin motorcycle and look for fights!! He was a Starfleet cadet and one of the FINEST ever. VERY reserved and VERY reliable. BY the book! I just cannot accept that it is "cool" to be a rule breaking troublemaker. Ooops, I forgot..that IS cool these days!! My bad!!
I had planned to go see the movie. I have reconsidered and , at this point, I am no longer interested.
