What went wrong?
>>
>>217478829
They shouldn't have made the uniforms out of tiny Starfleet insignias.
>>
>>217478829
Nothing went wrong. They both did well.

The problem was the Star Trek Kelvin movies under-performed at the box office.
>>
>>217478829
What happened to JJ abram trek? Looking back now they werent that bad. They only made 3 of them right? Why didnt it continue?
>>
Personally I would not have waited until the third movie in the series to make a good one.
>>
>>217479150
Wouldn't mind seeing a Star Trek show with the same cast (I know Anton Yelchin died) instead of what we got.
>>
>>217478829
making that aesthetic part of the canon timeline instead of leaving it as its own alternate universe

Star Trek

>>217479150
they were garbage
>>
>>217479495
Nah they were great
Oldheads will bring up some arcane reason to hate them
>>
>>217479150
I know they get a lot of hate, but I liked them. The first one is a favorite of mine. I never liked Star Trek before. I'm unsure why I even watched the first one when I did since I never liked the series.
I thought JJ did a good job. I knew something was annoying with all his movies, but couldn't figure out what it was until someone mentioned lens flares. And yeah, he uses waaay too many lens flares.

First JJ Star Trek is very solid and fun and if he made star wars even close to as good as that the sequels wouldn't be seen as a joke
>>
>>217478829
1 and 2 are pretty good, can't remember shit from the 3rd desu

>What happened to JJ abram trek? Looking back now they werent that bad. They only made 3 of them right? Why didnt it continue?

>First movie was a reboot.

Solid reboot movie. It did very well at the Box office. People mostly enjoyed and were excited and hopeful. Trek fans mostly accepted it because the movie writers said this was an alternate universe. They were debating about what new part of the Galaxy they would explore next, and how the reboot would handle it.

>Second movie (Star Trek into Darkness) was a remake of Star Trek 2: the Wrath of Khan.

Exact opposite of what everyone wanted. People wanted Star Trek to explore the Galaxy. This movie was dark and grim and full of death.

The cast was fine. People like new characters liked Alice Eve as a new addition to the cast. But JJ Abrams decided it was batter to remake Wrath of Khan. It was also very weird that JJ Abrams cast Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan. Even though original Khan was Arabian (or Middle Eastern) .

The Original Wrath of Khan movie works because it relies on the TV show, and tells the audience that Kirk and Khan are long time enemies. With "Into Darkness", Kirk and khan had never met before. So it makes no sense. The movie underperformed at the box office. People started saying JJ Abrams didn't know what he was going and was just rebooting the old Trek movies instead of being original.

>Third movie (Star Trek Beyond)

Movie came out 4 years later and was delayed. Most of the hype was lost because they waited so long to make it. Alice Eve was not asked to return. This movie was better than the 2nd movie, more positive, and had more humor.

But the problem was they blew up the Enterprise in a very violent way and the cast spent most of the movie wandering on an alien planet being hunted. So it was a weird survival movie. This Movie did better at the box office than the 2nd movie Into Darkness, but not as good as the first reboot movie.

All future movies were put on hold.
>>
I literally cannot recall anything about the third movie, which is weird because I recall the other two
>>
>>217479150
First movie kino, 2nd movie slop and 3rd was mid. But compared to ST of recent times they were all kino.
>>
>>217479150
First movie was fun, action packed, and had lots of adventure. Also had some romance.

Second movie was a huge mistake. Nearly killed the movie franchise. Very dark. Very grim. Too many people dying. Stupid casting like Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan. Confusing story.

The few good points:
- Alice Eve was great as Kirk's love interest.
- Peter Weller as the Federation Admiral


Third Movie took too long to come out. Most people had forgotten about Trek. Story was also weaker. Better than second movie. Worse than first movie. Alice Eve was missing for some reason.
>>

>Why didnt it continue?
1st movie was kino

2nd movie sucked (Except Alice Eve. She was hot though)

3rd was mid. Okay story. Not great. Better than 2nd. Some of the actors didn't return after the 2nd movie which was weird.
>>
>>217478829
Star Trek Into Darkness killed the franchise.
>>
>>217478829
Nothing. It was one of the three highest grossing Star Trek movies ever.
