So it’s come to our attention that the Star Trek film franchise has met its demise. I caught the headline from Forbes and I don’t feel surprised or sorry that it’s gone. I remember watching the first movie and really enjoying its clever use of time travel. I remember feeling a lot more excitement into the future of director J.J. Abrams and his company Bad Robot’s future. Things have changed quite a bit since the release of those films for both Star Trek and JJ Abrams. According to Deadline, Star Wars may be the reason that Star Trek is not getting it’s 4th movie.

OnceStar Warsrode back into town, there was no reason for general audiences to get excited about another “new”Star Trekmovie. Just asStar Trek Nemesispaled in comparison to theStar Warsprequels, theHarry Potterflicks,Spider-ManandLord of the Rings,所以也Star Trekno longer play as an event movie alongsideThe Last Jedi,Avengers: Infinity WarandAquaman. But to the extent thatStar Trekprovided “the next best thing toStar Wars” in 2009, a follow-up to the $338 million-grossingStar Trek Beyondwould be saddled with its existence both as damaged goods and merely a giant among giants, smaller thanFate of the Furious,The Last JediandAvengers: Endgame.

Ouch. I know hated Star Trek Into Darkness a lot and changed my opinion on director JJ Abrams (but Ryan Liked it!)。我懒得看明星混乱关系k Beyonddespite good reviewsand new director Justin Lin. I’m not sorry to see this franchise go. That Forbes writer isn’t wrong in thinking that Star Wars and the MCO make Star Trek seem superfluous. Will you miss Star Trek? Were you looking forward to seeing more of Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto and the rest of the cast in this franchise
