Why is JJ Abrams once called Star Trek “Silly”

In 2005, “Star Trek” was actually dead. The latest series “Star Trek: Entegrated” was canceled after four fateful seasons, as three years of shy “Star Trek: The Next Generation”, “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” and “Star Trek: Voyageer”. This series was not widely liked such shows, as it appeared like a lamb for the privilege. Also, the 2002 “Star Trek: Nemesis” movie was “Star Trek”, the least famous so far, as he drew the adventures of the “next generation” characters to a fateful near. The post -September 11 world appears to be no longer in a mood for the science fiction series that preached the poison and diplomacy.

But then, “Star Trek” returned in 2009 with a fictional film that was reinforced by JJ ABRAMS. The new movie, called “Star Trek”, has returned to the original Enterprise, and followed the familiar characters of Kirk, Spok, McCoy, etc., but now played by new and younger actors. ABRAMS also presented this procedure, as the philosophical series mainly turned a direct fire exchange. The film was crowded with superior violence in Hollywood, and the audience loved it. With a budget of $ 150 million, “Star Trek” achieved more than $ 387 million worldwide. /I love the movie.

Of course, they understood some Trekkies in the Old School-and I am one of them-that the Abrams movie was very far from the spirit of privilege. The old “Star Trek” usually focuses on relationships in the workplace, science fiction concepts, and moral dilemmas. The new “Star Trek” did not have any of these things, preferring to be a more predictable movie, and he relied on revenge, and the high octane. After that, imagine Trekkies anger when Abrams, just days before the movie released, Declare It is never Ownership “Star Trek.” It has always been more than the “Star Wars” fan, communicating with work and exciting cold logic and scientific thinking.

It must be remembered that “Star Trek”, while seeing her share of PHASER battles and fighting. It was not based on work. The creator, Jin Rodnberie, depicts the future of the post-war, after the war, where all human beings put their differences aside and worked together-and they devoted all the techniques and talents of the common good to the galaxy. The “Star Trek” victories came when the war was avoided, not when the enemy was missed.

Abrams, however, you didn’t like it. Speaking to the Guardian, he complained that “Star Trek” was very speaking and had no kind of wild adventure that he apparently preferred. In his words:

(“Star Trek”) I always felt that it was ridiculous and a camp. I remember that I can, but the feeling that I did not get it. I felt that he did not give me a way. There was a captain, there was this first officer, and they were talking a lot about the adventures, and I had not loved it.

To be fair, “Star Trek” already has a share of ridiculous moments and the camp. The episode of “Spok Brain”, or perhaps “the road to Aden”, which included a musical band led by Habi. Also, Roddenberry may have been very progressive in some respects, but he was also keen to write in some of his personal sexual imaginations in this series (all women wear short skirts, for example), making him many dated perceptions. Star Trek was released in 1966, and it is definitely a product of his time.

But it was disgusting to hear that Abrams not only liked “Star Trek”, but did not bother to get to know him.

ABRAMS was able to snake in several decades of “Star Trek” traditions located across the somewhat parallel universe. Thanks to the time gate, the high -time Romolian ship traveled in time to the moment when James T -Kirk was born, killing his father and changing the schedule. Abrams assumed that Kirk will grow up to look like Chris Pine, and that his colleagues from his colleagues will be more emotional copies of themselves. In a deadly development, the characters that serve together the USS, and are now a much larger ship. Abrams did not care about what happened before. He bowed in his ignorance of “Star Trek”, and the film he wanted came out. He said:

“I had no idea about the existence of 10 films! I still didn’t see them. I didn’t want to become a student in” Star Trek “. I felt this was actually one of the few advantages that I had.

Abrams also directed the “Star Trek” supplement “Star Trek to Dark” in 2013And he did not go out of the basic intellectual of the original series. He once again handed over a high -end actor, based on revenge, and got more money, with more than $ 467 million worldwide. This movie, however, is now considered one of the worst series. Abrams moved away from the follow -up of 2016 “Star Trek Beyond”.

Abrams had a different position on his 2015 movie, “The Force Awakens”. He grew up watching “Star Wars” and always loved him, Saying that he always leaves the impression of him. He felt that the world was crowded, rich and full of possibilities, emotions and dreams.
