![]() The last of the Prime Timeline movies failed to impress at the box office, so it was a few years before anyone tried to bring the Enterprise back to the big screen. Nemesis is notable mostly for killing Data with a noble sacrifice, only to resurrect him moments later in a duplicate body found earlier by the Enterprise crew. Unfortunately, Shinzon also happens to be a megalomaniac who happens to want to destroy all life on Earth and maybe a few other planets, too, if he’s feeling saucy. Shinzon is dying, and all that will save him is a transfusion of Picard’s blood. Cast: Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner, Tom Hardyīefore he mumbled his way into our hearts as Bane, Tom Hardy was Shinzon, a clone of Picard the Romulans created in an eventually abandoned attempt to infiltrate Starfleet.We wanted a Star Trek film that wasn’t Earth-centric, we wanted more action, and we wanted new alien encounters… and it looks like all of those boxes have been ticked. This trailer is obviously just to whet our appetites and, I think, to show fans that we’ve been listened to. ![]() Having said that, I have faith in Simon Pegg and the creative team behind the new film, and I have no doubt they have tried to create a movie worthy of Trek’s 50th Anniversary.Īs you take a look at the trailer, please keep in mind that it’s almost impossible to get the story of a film or assess its quality from less than two minutes worth of footage. Those previews of the new Star Wars film have been majestic, nostalgic, emotional and beautiful in every way, and in comparison, the Star Trek Beyond trailer was raucous, a little confusing, and… a little small… for want of a better word! The main trailers we’ve seen for the seventh Star Wars film have blown me away and transported me back to my childhood. I think the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer is to blame for that. I wasn’t overwhelmed by it – but I wasn’t disappointed by it either. I have the strangest feeling this trailer might polarise Star Trek fans as it has a completely different feel to the series’ and the TOS and TNG films that have gone before it, and even to the first two reboot features. Payne and Patrick McKay’s names’ are still in the credits so maybe some elements of the original script were kept by Simon and Doug during their rewrite. A lot of people are saying that the Enterprise is destroyed – but I have to point out that the ID on the crew uniforms says the name of a completely different starship… so is it the Enterprise that crashes, or is it a sister ship? What’s also of interest is that Roberto Orci, John D.

The preview is one minute and thirty-four seconds of action, including what appears to be the destruction of the Enterprise, the imprisonment of the Enterprise crew, and a never before seen bad guy (who looks a bit like Ambassador G’Kar from Babylon 5). Whether that is a good or a bad thing remains to be seen! Having said that, the trailer is one heck of a romp, and it’s obvious that Justin Lin has definitely brought a bit of The Fast and The Furious to the 23rd century. The trailer is not what I expected – it’s not bad in any way, but I admit I was expecting something a little more nostalgic because the film is released in a very important year in Trek’s history. ![]() ![]() We’re assuming it was a German who leaked the trailer, because it was in German… so all we can say is… “Thank you Germany, for this early Christmas present!” In response to that, Paramount released the official trailer (in English) for our viewing pleasure soon after. Over the weekend, a trailer for Star Trek Beyond leaked online (dubbed in German) and started popping up all over social media. ![]()
