Did you know?: Into Darkness voted worst Star Trek film by trekkies

Too bad for the trekkies since there are rumours that JJ Abrams will be involved in Star Trek 3 as well!


August 18, 2013

The 20th installment in the Star Trek movie franchise, Star Trek into Darkness was released this May and became a commercial success, earning $452 million worldwide and landing the number one spot on the highest money making movie list of the franchise. It also received praise from critics who called it a terrific performance, according to CBS News. However, Star Trek fans weren’t too impressed.



The film was voted the series nastiest film ever at the annual Star Trek convention in Las Vegas! By making it a fast-paced action movie, director JJ Abrams has completely destroyed the idiosyncrasy and pure space — life concept of these sci-fi movies and isolated the hardcore fans that have been following this franchise from the beginning. Since the original essence has been lost, this movie was met with boos when it was mentioned, and one guy took the mic to say these reboots shouldn’t even be considered for a list of Star Trek movies, according to the Huffington Post.

Too bad for the trekkies since there are rumours that JJ Abrams will be involved in Star Trek 3 as well! Fans should be prepared for another disappointment.

Not sure I entirely agree, but I see the point they're making. It's better than the Final Frontier though...

By the way, Into Darkness is the 12th Trek film, not the 20th.

Well, they're right. I'm not a fan but even I can see that the new films are standard Hollywood wallpaper; they may be successful but so is a lot of mindless crap. Hardly surprising that the people who liked it for being different are going to be unimpressed when it sells out and becomes exactly like everything else.
