Yeah, but it looks like it’s going to be The Fast and the Furious in space. They need a talented director, like Josh Trank or Uwe Boll, to step in and revitalize the franchise.
 
_{That last remark was not serious}

@Ebalosus  
Well if it’s any consolation, Star Trek Beyond doesn’t look like it’s gonna copy Wrath of Khan again…I hope…

@kircher
 
True…though I struggle to imagine how one could make The Final Frontier a good film, given how much is wrong with it.
 
@BigBuggyBastage
 
I agree that it encapsulates the time period in which it was made, but my point was more along the lines of let’s have another fun Star Trek film. What do I mean by a “fun Star Trek film”? Let’s go down the list:
 
The Motion Picture: The boring esoteric one.  
The Wrath of Khan: The exciting, deep, character-driven one.  
The Search for Spock: The passable, in-between one _{(though personally, I consider it one of the better ones)}.  
The Voyage Home: The fun, relevant-to-real-life one.  
The Final Frontier: The poorly executed combination of the esoteric parts from TMP and the funny parts from TVH.  
The Undiscovered Country: The well executed combination of the relevance-to-real-life of TVH plus the character-driven narrative from TWoK equals an excellent sendoff to the original cast.  
Generations: The boring, poorly-executed bridge from ToS/ST1-6 to the TNG movies.  
First Contact: The passable TNG remake of TWoK.  
Insurrection: The boring, overlong episode one.  
Nemesis: The poorly-executed TNG remake of TWoK.  
(2009): The passable TNG new era remake of TWoK.  
Into Darkness: The The poorly-executed TNG new era remake of TWoK.
 
Going by that list, Star Treks 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9 should be remade in the new era, as they aren’t aping TWoK.

@BigBuggyBastage  
That’s why you update it to fit with the modern times. After all, the environmental message is still relevant today, so it’s not like it’s completely a time capsule / incredibly dated like, say, Breakin’ and Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo.
 
@kircher  
This idea has merit too. Especially Star Trek V. I feel like that movie was onto something, but the greatly lower budget was a great hindrance. Well, that, and William Shatner’s ego run amuck didn’t help matters much either.

@Ebalosus  

 
That’s a 1980s time capsule. Are you sure that’s such a good idea? ;)

@Ebalosus  
or remake ST V or Nemisis and actually make them good.

@kleptomage
 
What about the time they remade it and it was Picard vs. the Borg Queen…or that time they remade it and it was Picard vs. a Romulan clone of himself…or that time they remade it and it was alt-universe Kirk vs. a prime-universe Romulan?
 
Yeah, as you can probably tell, I’m kinda sick of Star Trek movies constantly trying to re-do Wrath of Khan. Why don’t they try and re-do The Voyage Home instead? Y’know, just to mix things up.

@Ebalosus  
Wrath of Khan is one of my favorite movies of all time. Nobody could top Ricardo Montalban’s performance. It did not need a remake and casting a white British man as Khan is just insulting.

@kleptomage  

This.

Seriously, no one has posted it yet?
 

Oh, sir…it was Celestia! We found her on Ceti Alpha Five…she…she put creatures in our bodies, to control our minds…

@FanOfMostEverything  

 
For both fun and profit! And, to get this thread back on the right track…  

@TheAbridgenator  
I’m surprised they weren’t able to lure Randy Quaid out of whatever alley he’s living in to make a cameo.

@kircher  
Whatever they paid Chevy Chase for showing up in a movie involving a sewage bathing session, it was not enough.

@TheAbridgenator  
Yeah, and then they should remake National Lampoon’s Vacation with the unfunny guy from ‘The Office!’ Oh wait. . .

@Background Pony #2A95  
Now guys, hear me out. All I’m saying is M. Night Shyamalan should do a Gus Van Sant style remake of Twilight, in which he plays Bella. Just saying.

Hey Sweeite, heard that new song? It’s quite an ear worm! Yuk yuk yuk
 
_{Worm, slug, whatever}

@kleptomage  
Well, he can star in the next M Night Shlama-lama-ding-dong movie.

Great, now I’ll be thinking of what Sweetie Belle’s voice would sound like if she were possessed by the spirit of Ricardo Montalban.
 
“…soft Corinthian leather…”
 
Weird.

Eggs Benedict Cucumberpatch has nothing on the original Khan.

Actually, it’s Centauri Prime. Congratulations, Sweetie Belle, you get to shave your head, kill every noble that hangs out with you, and generally make every situation you get involved with a complete mess! :D

I have the urge to make a Power Rangers joke.

I didn’t know Rarity was raising mind control eels…

Yeah, well…THIS! IS! SPARTA!
