- knolan 8y agoWhat timeline is Discovery in then?
- ronnier 8y agoAre the Abrams movies even Star Trek? Feels nothing like ST.
- noonespecial 8y agoGlad others agree. Abrams Trek is like watching a football game; Roddenberry Trek was like watching a chess match. Both can be entertaining, but they are certainly very different things.
- monocasa 8y agoI said when the first Abrahms Star Trek came out that it was one of the best Star Wars movies in years. I guess someone at Disney agreed with me...
- kyriakos 8y agoThey are action movies. Star trek was never about action.
- rainbowmverse 8y agoThis has always been Star Trek's dichotomy. Many ships called Enterprise have been blown up (in a permanent, non-time travel magic way), and it happened in the movies. The movies are action. The series are where the characters and universe are built.
- nikanj 8y agoJust messing up a ship doesn't make it action. For a canonical example, see the Titanic.
- rainbowmverse 8y agoStar Trek movies are like if the Titanic had to fight off the combined fleets of all WW1 and WW2 powers. There's a reason the ships get blown up.
- sbmthakur 8y agoI was too young for Voyager or even Enterprise. I was introduced to the Trek through JJ Abrams movies. Later when I watched Enterprise, Voyager and the Jean-luc movies, I did realize why people criticize JJ movies. However, they still do a good job of introducing new people to the Star Trek Universe. Considering the revival of Star Wars, I do feel Star Trek could use some new fans.
- untog 8y agoThe Trek movies haven't been like the show for a long time. I'm no huge fan of the Abrams movies, but it's not as if Nemesis was some cerebral voyage.
- gaius 8y agoNot only a different timeline, a different universe with different physics. E.g. you can see events in one star system in real time with the naked eye from a planet in another. He does the the same in the Star Wars reboot
