Maggie Gyllenhaal is a fine actress, but del Toro is a better director. It also looks fairly close to the source material. Boru

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy trailer.
Can you count all the lens flares?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
Remake of Amadeus.

Man, someone ran out of ideas... I don't think anyone needs a remake of Amadeus

The reason why the original Star Trek was popular was because it was made during the great leap of space travel, the moon race; you know, the new times were coming and people were dreaming. Then Star Trek got popular again in the late 80s and during the 90s because the year 2000 was near, and, hence, people got excited by the future again. And then the 21st century arrived with a bang. 9/11 happened, and W. announced new wars. It seemed that the world was going backwards to the Crusades instead of forward to the stars. As if W. broke the backbone of the future we were promised. Star Trek Enterprise got cancelled without finishing the season, and, instead, military SF became popular. People turned to watching Battlestar Galactica, which was more part of the zeitgeist. Today, there is no zeitgeist about a positive future, and that's why Star Trek is not innovative anymore but derivative, where it all now comes down to making references to the past shows instead of inventing something new.
