Star Trek Beyond.

Flix wrote:The old startrek is certainly very popular. I'm not sure the die hard original fans appreciate the new adaption - it all a bit too slick, too much cgi perhaps. I don't know what it is. I know I prefer to watch the 'old team' films but then I also prefer the old 'War of the Worlds' , 'The Terminator Series and even The Day the Earth Stood Still etc. Some over acting maybe but I prefer that to too much cgi. I dread remakes and most new sci fi films, though I really enjoyed 'The Martian'  thankfully so far they are never as bad as I think they might be but still lack something, it seems to be all fizz and bang and not much substance.

the original star trek series was of its day and was not a patch on what came after , next generation, DS9, Voyager and even the prequel Enterprise. the series really got some depth once it was rebooted and stopped being cowboys in space.

The 1st star trek movie was dreadful. Far too long and far too many lingering shots of the enterprise in dry dock, and basically a rehash of an early star trek episode called The Doomsday Machine.

Wrath of khan was good and search for spock also but the best of the early star trek movies was by far the 4th one, The voyage home. Good story, lots of fish out of water humour and a good finish. the other 2 were fairly forgettable

While I have to agree with you in general - I still don't enjoy the new films as much, too brash, each of the series did get better and I enjoyed them all.

 I've got every episode of Babylon 5 on DVD (new unopened ) , had them for a few years and never got round to watching them.
