As much as we love them, theStar Trekmovies have their share of mistakes.
But it looks like the movie franchise is about to outdo them all.
Paramount has officially added the nextStar Trekmovie to its 2025 release schedule.
The film will take place decades before the 2009Star Trekreboot fromJ.J.
And its a terrible idea.
First of all, theres the question of the timeline logistics of the film.
So what the heck is the origin story going to be about?
Is it about the origin of the Federation?
We already saw that onEnterprise, which takes place a century beforeThe Original Series.
Is it about theEnterprisebefore Kirk?
We got that in the first two seasons ofDiscoveryand inStrange New Worlds.
Thats even true of some of the best currentStar Trekseries.
These constant returns to the past violate the basic premise ofStar Trek.
Sure, some of the bestTrekentries involve trips to the past.
Viewers dont want to see a past thats already been explored so thoroughly over the last few decades.
