Really though, I just would have wanted to see Archer on the big screen, regardless of quality.

“I can't imagine it would have been good, but boy do I wish I existed in a universe where this movie had been made.” — This is the perfect reaction and I cannot improve on it in any way.

The best way I have to describe this kind of movie is “delightfully terrible.”
Show threadStillPaisleyCatJul 3, 2023

I have a feeling that there are fans of Star Trek V The Final Frontier here.

The lesson should be that bizarre ideas for 5th movies should never be brought to screen.

I think this is a great take.

I get the appeal. Cross overs are enticing. But Zach Snyder’s justice League demonstrates a huge challenge that most people don’t seem to discuss: the recruitment needs to have a purpose.

Remember when Batman is asking Aquaman to be in his movie team? It’s clear that the only reason is that the team is not a means, it’s the end. He doesn’t need him for any particular reason, he just spends the he could be trying to ~solve~ a mystery building a club from scratch with no clear purpose. I think this set up would have the same problem.

Picard pulls Archer through time and Archer turns to the camera and goes, “Oh boy”

Waited four seasons for them to do this throwaway gag on #Enterprise but nope, too silly... but invalidating four seasons of Enterprise by revealing that the whole show was a holodeck program run by Riker... That's a-ok
Show threadThorry84Jul 3, 2023
I don’t think the whole show was a holodeck program? It actually happened and Riker simply ran a holodeck program based on those events. Still a pretty dumb way to end the show, but I don’t think it invalidates the previous 4 seasons.

Waited four seasons for them to do this throwaway gag on #Enterprise

And they had the perfect episode to do it in too.

Detained (episode)

Archer and Mayweather accidentally enter a militarized zone and are detained by an alien race called Tandarans, who are at war with the Suliban. Both men find themselves sharing cells with some Suliban detainees who they believe are wrongly imprisoned. Travis Mayweather wakes up in a prison cell, oblivious to how he got there. Lying next to him is Captain Archer, unconscious. Travis goes to his cell door and opens it. In the corridor outside of his cell he sees two Suliban. Travis explores the c

God, this pitch makes so little sense on so many levels. Star Trek has never been about the villains, so having a batman-style villain team-up makes no sense. Seven samurai in space with time travel is a reasonable pitch, but why would you need to build a team that involves a captain, a captain, a science officer, and a captain?
Show threadNmyownworldJul 3, 2023
Would Abraham Lincoln and Surak be on team Starfleet, like in TOS' "The Savage Curtain" (s3e22)? Would everyone enter a fight suit that would join together into a giant fighting robot that has a shiny Starfleet insignia on it? Justice League of Starfleet. I just can't.

Show threadthe_siskoJul 4, 2023
Yeah one of the things about star trek villains is that they're not typically motivated as "I'm evil and want to destroy the world, mwahahaha." That's not to say that the writing is always perfect, but they just wouldn't share enough of the same motives to join forces.

I have the exact opposite opinion lol

It would have been a most excellent adventure but a bogus journey.
Show threadxyguyJul 3, 2023

Maybe instead we have an army of Datas vs an army of Nomads from TOS and they have a big robot fight like in the last Avengers movie.

Or really go off in a bizarre direction and time travel back to a long time ago in a galaxy far far away and team up with R2D2 and C3PO to help fight a team up of Darth Vader and the Borg.

I could go on...

This reads more like a treatment for Star Trek Generations. as if they realized how stupid that movie is, and wanted to fix it

Justice league of Star Trek crew ultimate team up….

Where is this movie and how do I pay to see it :/ yes it would likely be terrible but seeing Kirk vs Janeway dynamic or spock vs Kira debates arguments etc

And those are the first two that come to mind

So as everyone else has said … yuck!

But then I quickly remembered “… All good things”. Time travel, big CGI thing in the sky, reuniting with old characters (Tasha, O’Brien) … and it works very well, especially as a send off.

I’m thinking that there’s a kernel in there as a farewell to TNG era trek. Maybe not something where Picard becomes a literal Time Lord, but more where a drastic event has forced time-bending onto everyone at the epi-center of the event and any attempt of take advantage of it also entails some cost and the only way to fix the “breaking of time” is to do something incredibly starfleet.

There’s no evil per se just things breaking and people taking advantage of it. And Borg 🤷 .

Damn I read the ideas for Star Trek: The Beginning. Besides the stupid name it sounds like an awesome idea to see the first Earth - Romulan war and have something bridge the gap between ENT and TOS
