![]() They gotta have a scene of a sovereign class ship coming out of the water in Crisis Point 3 □). And it still needs to be big in your face action which those shows aren’t (not counting the Crisis Point movies which of course is a send up of how ridiculous the movies are. We have stuff like Lower Decks and Prodigy that aims younger but you’re not going to make a billion off of that either. The name Star Trek just scare most kids away. And sell a crap load of merchandise too.Īs hard as they tried with JJ verse they can only kiddify them so much to make more money and why it ultimately failed. Works for both kids and adults and the more action, one note villains and silly jokes you throw in them it gets you to another hundred million dollars. Transformers makes a billion dollars because it’s literally aimed at kids or adults who played with the toys as kids with tons of over the top CGI action and they will go to watch that noise over and over.Įverything about the Transformer movies lines up with popcorn blockbuster filmmaking today like the MCU does. Like make a Star Trek movie for actual adults and where it doesn’t have to cost $150 million because it’s not going to be Transformers.Īnd that’s the problem. Come up with a formula that is not bang bang action, won’t cost too much, but can still capture the interest of general audiences. I’m not saying Trek should be done in the movies, but they SERIOUSLY need to rethink things. Other franchises like, say, Back to the Future, knew they got it right and said, ok we’re done now. And the longer Trek keeps trying to capture lighting in a bottle the longer they will fail. It captured the heart of TOS but still had the submarine like battles of wartime movies and some faint hints of mysteries and such. ![]() Truth be told, Wrath of Khan was kind of lightning in a bottle. At it’s heart Trek is at it’s best when it is the total opposite. Trek is not a “pew pew” “bang bang” franchise like Star War or the MCU where its all action or conflict or battles, etc. There is nothing wrong with Trek of course but that is just not it’s strong suit. And that is that Trek will never be a blockbuster franchise that makes the billion $$$ category. I always hate to say this but there is a sad truth that trek fans have to accept. ![]()
