  1. The Star Trek Beyond trailer is exactly what I imagine a modern sequel to Galaxy Quest would look like.

      I think this is the point where Star Trek stops being an homage to the old films and crosses over to basically making fun of itself.

        I mean... there are sequences in that trailer that are right out of Galaxy Quest...

          Oh no, space mines! Fight among the desert rocks (and someone gets teleported away)! The crew is prisoners! etc...

            And then the Kirk crashes the Enterprise, because after he fights Khan and does a thing with the reactor, how much more Kirk can you get?

              Presumably he does it disobeying orders. B/c KIIIIRK. And then...? He hand-to-hands aliens on a desert planet. And maxes action film tropes.

                Also, come on, you're going to do something as ludicrous as put Beastie Boys in Star Trek and you're not using Intergalactic?

                  Anyway, we've hit the point where Galaxy Quest couldn't exist anymore because Star Trek is too ridiculous to even be made fun of.

                    Might be a fun movie, but I'm sad, b/c we could really use the Star Trek where we make the galaxy better through talking & science right now
