While I really enjoyed the Kelvin Star Trek movies, I can see why the interest in the movies was waning. Each movie lost a bit of the BO, and the last movie was a bit of a bomb. This probably had to do with the fact ST: Beyond was a bit too TOS episode-like. It does seem strange that Paramount announced a new Star Trek 4. It seems so odd to announce another sequel some seven years later. I like most of the Trek movies, but the franchise was always stronger on the small screen. The writing and character development work better on the TV screen.
Since Paramount and CBS are back together, why not take the Kelvin Universe to TV with a miniseries? Take that budget and cast and make it a six-part series. Star Trek is always stronger on the small screen, Paramount. You can still make your money from merchandise.
Unless Paramount pulls out all the stops and makes it a universe-bending movie, I don’t think they’ll get the general audience back. That means bringing in Picard, Sisko, and Janeway. I don’t see that happening.
Anyway, this announcement makes no sense.
