Objectively
the best
of the
Star Trek
movies.
The best bit of the “nuclear wessels” scene, is that Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig literally went out and asked passerby. Not extras; genuine strangers on the street.
See, THIS might convince me to give Star Trek a try.
... Where should I start?
I love my Star Trek movies equally 2009 and Beyond were great films, and I just wish there was one to fill in that time gap.
Can I just say I really love how colorful the Star Trek Beyond posters are? And I love that they pay homage to the original movie posters? I feel like it was a visual cue that they were trying to return to the movies’ original campy feel and I think this movie was a lot closer to it’s roots than the other two by far, and this movie just completely felt different than the first two. It triggered a much larger nostalgia reaction this time around and while it was still action packed, it just felt like one of the original movies and aaah I just loved this one so much. It’s easily my favorite of the reboots.
“Stealing the Enterprise” from the score to Star Trek III: The Search For Spock, composed by James Horner.
A little note: this is one of my all-time favorite pieces composed for the Trek films because Horner weaves together multiple themes from the original series and his own score for Star Trek II to create the perfect soundtrack to stealing a starship. That and the fact I can recite all the dialogue as I listen to it.
“Steady… Steady… All right, Mr. Scott!
“Sir?”
“The doors, Mr. Scott!”
“Aye, sir! I’m working on it!”
It’s worth seeking out the expanded edition if you can; it’s a little spendy, but there’s a lot of music that wasn’t included on the original release.
Fuck now I almost don’t want to see the next Star Trek movie that comes out because it’s back to JJ Abrams writing and god fucking dammit. God dammit he’s going to ruin everything. Beyond was so nice and generous it gave us a bad ass NON SEXUALIZED female main character. It gave us a gay poc family where NO ONE WAS DEAD. It gave adequate screen time for all of the characters where they had their own side stories that tied together (Karl Urban almost didn’t come back for this movie because he was tired of it just being about Kirk and Spock!) It gave us a MUCH more in character Kirk where he cares about and loves his crew and treats them like family - unlike Abrams’ Kirk in the first two movies. It gave us colorful hopefulness and a sense of family and I’m fucking. JJ is going to ruin it. He’s going to kill someone off or reduce Jaylah to someone’s feeble girlfriend or give her completely unnecessary nude scenes and. Fuck. Simon please don’t let him ruin everything that Beyond created. I’m so tired of him. I’m so fucking tired of JJ Abrams. I’m so fucking tired of lens flares.
Star Trek: the Alternate Original Series
may 8, 2009 → it’s not over until the Klingon sings
Star Trek is ANOTHER thing I love I’ve been wanting to draw for a long time. I decided to start with the Original Series in honor of its 50th anniversary. :) I had a lot of fun composing everyone’s poses and picking the colors for this piece. But I only realized after I sent this off to the printers that I forgot to put McCoy’s rank stripes. Maybe that’s why he’s so angry. Idk.
