Repackaging
By sean_skroht

Well I've been a fan of the original series from the beginning and I for one am glad that they have repackaged it.

Also I can certainly say that I don't have an attention deficit disorder simply because I enjoy the Original Series even more now because they upgraded the special effects. I can now become even more involved with the story without being yanked out of it by horrendous special effects. There was nothing more jarring than watching Tomorrow is Yesterday and watching a special effects sequence where the Enterprise is supposedly undergoing a sling shot manoeuvre around the sun and all we get to see are some atrocious shots of it wobbling around in space.

We don't live in the 1960's anymore. Times have changed, and film makers cannot get away with that kind of story telling anymore, and while I have unlimited affection for the original series, thats the unfortunate reality.

I think it takes a forward thinking individual to recognise that Star Trek does need a new wrapper. Star Trek is all about being forward thinking, its about evolving, and Star Trek needs to evolve if it is going to survive, and it can only do that if it appeals to a new generation. The current generation of fans won't live forever, and when they go so will Star Trek if they are its only audience.

I would love to see those classic and iconic characters of Kirk, Spock and McCoy continue to entertain a new generation of people, and I see this new movie as neccessary in order to achieve that.
