RIP Leonard Nimoy and Anton Yelchin. They did a beautiful tribute to the both of them, and seeing the photo of the original cast together at the end always makes me tear up.

Seriously, Anton's Chekov is what sold me on the reboot. And now Anton's Chekov makes me choke up. Big 6'4" scowly old Marine absolutely wrecked every time I watch the first new ST or Terminator Salvation. lol proud of it too; nerd luyyyyf. RIP Anton; Star Trek is not Star Trek without you.

[@charlesmaurer6214]

So sad he was killed by a car AI that as Anton changed oil, it started, put itself in drive and then pinned him to the garage door. Was donated to the cast for ads and quickly pulled.

[@prodestrian]

​@@charlesmaurer6214I'm not sure where you got that information from but it's incorrect. It was a Jeep Grand Cherokee, it didn't have AI or self driving features. It was recalled because of a badly designed gear shifter, basically drivers incorrectly thought they had put their cars in Park but they were still in gear. It was linked to 40+ injuries and dozens of other accidents. He thought he had parked his car on his sloped driveway. He hadn't. He got out of his car, it rolled backwards down the driveway and killed him.

[@mikesum32]

That's not what happened. Per the NYT: The 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee that rolled backward down a driveway and killed the actor Anton Yelchin early Sunday was a model that Fiat Chrysler has recalled for a gearshift issue that has confused drivers, leading them to accidentally leave the car in neutral when they think it is safely in park.

The cast and the soundtracks are the better parts of the Abrams reboot series IMO, despite the obvious flaws in the writing.

[@MikeKat11]

That part with the pic of the original crew with the original theme playing over it always gets me

[@glenngalloway6191]

I remember taking my mother (who is a huge fan of the original series) to see the first movie in this trilogy. After seeing it, I asked what she thought about Chris Pine as Kirk. Her exact words were, "he has just a bit of the devil in his smile, like Shatner did. They really found the perfect man to take up the mantle." Honestly, it's rare to see so many iconic characters so perfectly cast for a reboot.

[@tedkord1968]

I could not disagree more. Chris Pine is nothing like Shatner. He's the exact same as in every other movie. Karl Urban is amazing as Bones, Simon Pegg is very good ss Scotty. Other than that, the rest of the cast is middling to poor. They're good actors, but they're not capturing the original characters. Pine is by far the worst. Of course they're not helped by the poor scripts. That's not their fault.

[@glenngalloway6191]

@@tedkord1968 I agree that Karl Urban does the best. I'd say Zachary Quinto gets screwed by the script in the sequels because of the 'bringing out his human side' point they fall back on. Never go full human. Of course, my mom hated TNG because she found it too sedate.

[@BoboftheOldeWays]

As an older generation (Gen X) fan who grew up with TNG as “my” Star Trek, I really like these newer movies (& most of the new shows, too). In part, because of folks like you, Jen: the newer movies hooked you because they were tailored to your sensibilities, but were still recognizable as Star Trek at their core. The Kelvin movies minted a new Star Trek fan in you, & you are not alone. I defend the new movies & shows to older fans for exactly that reason. They have attracted tons of new fans to one of the best franchises in the world. We should all be happy about that. Every Trek is someone’s first. Every Trek is someone’s favorite. I am just happy that more Trek is being made & new people are finding it every day.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Agreed! And I think the spirit of Star Trek itself is open mindedness, exploration, experimentation, evolving... I thought this was a cool, different take on an alternate timeline that didn't mess with the OG stuff that made me want to delve deeper into the old shows and movies 🖖

As reinventions go, they also did a superb job with Star Trek Strange New Worlds, which takes place on the Enterprise 10 years before TOS. We see Pike, Spock, Uhura, Kirk, Chapel and later Scotty with a splendid crew, episodic stories. They also did a great job updating the intro theme and the ship.

[@roberthunter4884]

Anton Yelchin (Chekov) died during the filming of this movie, he hadn't shown up for rehearsal and when they went to his home he was found dead in his driveway. Apparently after he pulled into his driveway, he got out of his Jeep Cherokee to check for mail at his locked gate, his vehicle rolled down the steep incline pinning Anton between the pillar and the Jeep killing him. He was 27. 😔 Anyway, loved the review, love you, take care and stay safe ❤

[@BrennaUrbangirl]

He didn't die during filming. He died less than a month before the film was released in theaters. Filming by that time had been over for months.

A fourth STAR TREK movie was in development, with Chris Hemsworth reprising his role as George Kirk, who didn't die, but ended up in an alternate universe as he was imprisoned by inter dimensional beings with God like abilities and Kirk and the Enterprise crew must save his father. However it was cancelled following the accidental death of Anton Yelchin.

[@moondog3056]

It was canceled because Paramount asked the cast to take pay cuts and Pine and Hemsworth said no

Great reaction Jen. I'm one of the old die hard Star Trek fans. I've been watching Star Trek since the early 70's. And I think you are right Jen when you say that they were made primarily to attract the younger generations. But old or young, how can you not love these movies?

[@jagger2001]

Man, i wasn't expecting to tear up hearing Anton as Chekov speaking in the end credits, but he was such a great actor and filled the role perfectly. This is my favorite of the Kelvin movies. The visuals and the score are epic, and the cast is firing on all cylinders here. I'm one of the few that grew up watching TNG when it was new but still like these movies. Good to know that they are still drawing in new fans even 15 years later

[@danzthename]

I agree with you. I know nothing can replace our original cast, but this one has a ton of chemistry too. Star Trek always shines when it focuses on the friendships among the crew. This version has so much heart. And the musical scores are just phenomenal!

[@snorpenbass4196]

The USS Franklin is meant to be from the Star Trek: Enterprise era - the design is very similar to the NX-Refit that was intended to be introduced in the not-filmed 5th season (which was in fact meant to take place during the Romulan War - which is where "Krall" lost his mind). Edit: It's also where the Xindi was a thing - Season 3, basically. No spoilers.

[@Klingon2468]

Jen you really surprised me, besides me you are the only other person (that I have spoken to written or verbally) that released the song (I didn't know the name) they used to disrupt the signal was the same song as the boy Kirk was listening to when he stole his stepdads car.

Leonard Nimoy gets credited as a "Prime" example in two different franchises! He also voiced the scientific Sleestak in Will Farrell's "Land of the Lost" movie! He narrated, and maybe hosted, the original "In Search Of..." and his successor here hosts the revival version. In the original series version of "Mission: Impossible" he was also a secret agent. He was a great person to meet and chat with! Including being with William Shatner. My favorite encounter was not at an autograph table or in a Q&A line, but when my best friend and I randomly encountered them, as we and they were just walking. I'm not sure if that was just the mingling part of "Supper with the Stars" or during the regular convention session or both? 🤔 I look forward now to viewing your video! 😊

This is an underrated gem. It went out of it's way to give us an interesting multi-faceted villain without retreading old characters.

Best line of the movie comes early on when Kirk is complaining about how routine everything has become, and says that "things have become...episodic." That was such a great call-back to TOS. The most heart-breaking moment of course was the reveal of the death of Ambassador Spock. Fans were still mourning the loss of Leonard Nimoy. It was a respectful tribute.

[@JimmieRayGiboney]

43:51 Mark! 1.6K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 You're welcome, and thanks! ☺️ Notes: "Netflix" somehow got to show "Star Trek: Prodigy" and so I viewed it! I appreciate these three live-action movies now even more so after seeing that series made for children or young people. 🤔 By that I mean, that I'm disappointed that by the 24th Century in that series and the 23rd Century in this movie trilogy, that more relevance is given to Slanguage than proper grammar! 😳 Bless you Jen Murray for being not just pretty, but also smart and intelligent enough to understand this trilogy as well as the older shows and movies! I'm 59 and I have no problems with the canon (not "cannon") status of them! "Apocrypha" is applied to non-canon stuff like fan-made productions. I can accept alternate timelines and realities and a Multiverse! It is easy for me because I accept the phenomenon known as "The Tommy Westphall Universe"! As anything goes in the imagination of an autistic boy! 🧐

[@cypher515]

39:40 I've heard that after Anton Yelchin passed away they did an almost last minute edit, and centered Chekov in the shot. As for everything else about this movie? I loved it. They felt most like the original crew in a new scenario, and I even loved the shout out to Enterprise, the last show before the long wait for new TV shows commenced, because the Franklin feels so much like that show's version of Enterprise that I started singing "Where My Heart Will Take Me" in the middle of the theater.

This is my favorite of the trilogy. It really feels like classic Star Trek, in multiple ways, while being it's own thing. And all of the actors feel like they fully become the characters in this one. The fact that an actual Star Trek fan Directed this one is very obvious. I also loved all of the references to Star Trek: Enterprise, the most underrated of the classic Star Trek shows. **Also Kirk learning, this early in his career that he doesn't want the Admiral position, that he's a captain that needs a ship. Instead of having to go through 4 whole movies to get there. Is awesome.**

As a child of 1967, I watched the original series in reruns and did enjoy them, although I didn't fully appreciate them until the movies came out. I fully embraced TNG and love rewatching them with you and seeing them through your enjoyment. Can't wait until Sunday. Live Long, and Prosper... Oh, the Vulcan 🖖 is something Nimoy stoll from seeing Jewish Rabi doing during a ceremony. I believe he explained it on a DVD extra somewhere or perhaps it was just an interview. Anyway that's where it comes from. PS: Darn-it, I forgot to add that I also like and appreciate the JJ Abrams series. I don't know if 4 will get done or not. I hope, in one form or the other they do return Star Trek to the big screen.

One of the great things about _Star Trek_ is that it reinvents itself for different generations. My mom was a fan of the Original Series, while I grew up with _The Next Generation._ Though the different groups of fans may squabble amongst themselves about the pros and cons of their eras, it is smart to never let the IP stagnate. This is my favorite of the Kelvin timeline movies. It's sad that tragedy bookended the production of this film. Leonard Nimoy passed a little before production began, and only weeks before the release of the movie, Anton Yelchin died in a freak accident. If production of a fourth Kelvin _Trek_ ever gets off the ground, the writers must address the problem of Anton's Chekov. While there is no perfect solution, an in-universe explanation exists. They can say Chekov left the _Enterprise_ to serve aboard the _Reliant,_ just as the character did in _The Wrath of Khan._

Yer that would be a good nod to the ST-TOS movies ... I don't want a recast or an off-screen death.

This is my favourite of the reboot movies, purely because it seems to capture the relationship of the three more authentically.

Released during the 50th anniversary. It does feel like a episode of the original series. The actions and scope gladly increase because of director Justin Lin (post Fast & Furious) and the script was co-written by Scotty himself, Simon Pegg. The original crew adjusting to these voyages was better expressed than on the original series. Usually it's just another day for everybody and you see more of everyone handling it on their own way. Much like the original series, some villains have been ex-Starfleet members and 'out of the blue' allies become part of Starfleet. Idris Elba as the Captain gone rogue, Krall was good and sinister. Sofia Boutella's next role after Kingsmen (2015) as Jaylah was meant for Jennifer Lawrence and definitely shows she could be an exciting action heroine. Both actors had incredible makeup work (especially Elba). Rihanna provides a song called Sledgehammer. The first one ever recorded for the film series. Leonard Nimoy & Anton Yelchin passings were deeply felt. Their contributions as old & new characters are certainly unforgettable. After BEYOND, multiple Star Trek original series have been going pretty strong from CBS All Access to Paramount plus. More movies are apparently coming, but with the original crew, it's unknown if we'll see them again.

16:43 Yes, bring them to KZbin!

Fun fact: The USS Franklin was named after Justin Lin's father. That's why there is a little gap on the name plate between Frank and Lin... 😉

4:45 yeah... uhmm.... trying to un-complicate the complicated here... Sulu's _daughter_ shows up in ST 7 at the the helm of the Enterprise-B, before the encounter with the Nexus. that on-screen event then triggered a fan production called Star Trek Phase II to show an episode where then-Ensign Sulu is time-shifted in a transporter accident and fathers a daughter called Alara. That daughter is killed off, and Sulu is reverted to his younger self. George Takei guest stars as old man Sulu. _off_ that plot point, years later we get another production set in the prime timeline where old Sulu (Takei) talks to his ST7-established daughter Demora about that Phase2-established daughter Alara, which we never saw. since we never saw neither Demora's nor Alara's mother/s (tho they are mentioned in various books), and having Takei coming out as gay after the end of Star Trek, they decided to make _this_ Sulu (alternate) gay. _this_ daughter we see here could either be Demora, OR Alara... fans widely consider her to be Demora since it's the one we've seen in the movie. it's a retroactively-referenced spin-off reference. bordering causality loop. yeah.... Trek is full of those. 5:55 and that officer is Commodore (Admiral?) Paris, which is a reference to Tom Paris from Voyager. this would be this timeline's great-grandmother to Tom, 100 years down the line. her first name is never mentioned, but it would be cool if she was named Miral, after Tom's daughter, which would make her a retroactive reference to _this_ Miral, and ... you get the point.
