@@DaKidsReactStar Trek envisions a future where mankind has overcome capitalism, poverty and racism to work together with other species in a federation of many worlds. Star Wars takes place in a fictional galaxy in the past and is more fantasy than Star Trek.
And New Trek. Im a die hard Trekkie, and yeah Star Wars is not my cup of tea at all, but we gotta be honest. Alot of the New Trek, sadly is alot like Star Wars.
In the lead up before they released this one, JJ Abrams said that one of his goals was to make it more like Star Wars. Which annoyed me, as a fan of both franchises; at their best (or maybe even at their average) they're both deeper than anything Abrams ever touched.
So, after you watch the rest of the movies in this timeline, you have multiple Star Trek shows and movies to watch! I started watching Star Trek somewhere in the mid to late 70s, when it was in syndication, so I've gotten to see the concept grow and expand. Love watching new people join that universe.
My sis & I just finished watching the 3 prequels after watching all original Cast movies ending with Star Trek 6 the undiscovered country one of our Faves
14:29 "I don't know what's the difference between this and Star Wars" Yes, my friends, that's exactly the problem of the three Star Trek movies. Crash boom bang in space! Original Star Trek is an epic space opera with fans around the globe since nearly 60 years. Nevertheless these remakes are fun to watch. Greetings from Germany :)
The difference between Star Wars and Star Trek is, Earth doesn't exist in Star Wars. 😂 The way they are the same: SW has the Jedi and Sith ST has Time Travelers and Q 😂
@@DaKidsReact they are both big universes and have large fanbases. The only way to understand the difference really, is to watch more movies/shows! 😍😂 I hope you guys will get a chance to watch some key episodes from the TV shows. ❤
I don't know who told you Star Trek is similar to Star Wars, but to me they're totally the opposite. Star Wars it's a fantasy tale with just a sci-fi skin. Star Trek is pure sci-fi. In The Star Trek lore, everything is scientifically plausible. You have the earth, the proper time and the real galaxies, which in Star Wars are not present. Anyway, Star Trek was born has a series in late 1960, named as TOS (the original series) and has a lot of stories that make you think. There are also sequel series, also vbery good to me, and of course the movies. This movie uses the character of TOS. The actor who plays the older Spock in this movie is the same who played Spock in the original series.
The young guy who played Chekov, Anton Yelchin, was killed in a freak accident when filming Star Trek Beyond. His car rolled down the hill of his driveway and crushed him against the gates pillar. That movie was dedicated to him and the original Spock, Leonard Nimoy. They said they would not recast Anton's role as Chekov in any future Star Trek films.
Yeah, that broke my heart. He was the lead in the adaptation of my favorite Dean Koontz book. I haven't been able to watch it since because it's just way too sad. He was incredibly talented and appears to have been a nice kid. It just really, really sucks.
Breaks my heart that Anton Yelchin died that way. It was just so awful - and due to a poor design of the stick shift of the car (if I remember correctly).
“Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved eight hundred lives, including your mother’s - and yours.” One of my favorite lines ever.
I shed 2 single tears watching this in the cinema, the first at the end of the opening scene because it was just so good and at the end with Spocks outro.
Really glad to see you guys so locked in, this was an almost perfect reboot to one of my favorite franchises, I hope you keep going with Star Trek films!
Fun movies. And the cast were all really good. Tho I feel like the performances of Chris Pine and Karl Urban were particularly great. I was pleasantly surprised to see those two really capturing Kirk and Bones' personalities. Leonard Nimoy, the original Spock, was also wowed... he said he cried when seeing Karl do Bones so perfectly. ( I'm mostly here for Karl myself 🥰🤣) Ooh, and y'all know him from The Boys. Cool. He's so freaking cool. Btw, if you ever saw William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy in the original show, you'd see how great they nailed them. Freaking great actors!!
If yall want to get and understand the STAR TREK UNIVERSE FUNDAMENTALS then you should watch the original STAR TREK tv series from the 1960s. Doung so will give a better understanding of everyones backstory which will make watching the movies more enjoyable. There are 75 episodes to watch and you can do reaction videos for a of them however i can recommend 10 must see episodes if you want to shorten the list. If you want my recommendations just let me know.
Loved this reaction yall. The second movie is really good as well. The old Spock is from the original tv show cast. I think he passed away after this movie. He is a cultural icon in science Fiction.
Two things: 1. Star Trek (2009) was doing multiverses before it was popular. 2. There's a show, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds that tells the story of Captain Pike, and the crew of the Enterprise *before* Kirk becomes Captain. It's also set in yet another alternate time-line.
The older Spock is played by Leonard Nimoy, who is the actor that originated the role in the 1960's OG series "Star Trek". This was his final full performance as the character, passing the torch to the youngblood Zach Quinto. It meant a lot for older fans to see the OG one last time. Great reaction! Subscribed! 🔥🔥
A little backstory, this film is a reboot based on the 1970’s tv series and subsequent movies from the Star Trek franchise spanning something like 20-25 years. It pre-dates Star Wars ❤😊The next two films are good too. Especially the next one❤
I used to own all of the Star Trek television shows and movies from the original series to Voyager on DVDs. By watching the behind the scenes footage for the original series I understand that Gene Rodenberry went to the television executives and asked if he could add some color to the bridge. The television executives granted his request thinking that he would paint the walls or something. Instead Nichelle Nickels (sorry if I misspelled her name) joined the crew as the communications officer (or whatever was her official title) and history was made by having the first African descendant to be shown on an American television show as being a member of the bridge on a starship. Before the original Star Trek television show aired it is my understanding that all of the American sci fi television shows featured only white people living and traveling in outer space. 🪐
Its extremely satisfying for a Trekkie like me that yall compare this movie to Star Wars. The new Star Trek films and some of the shows really have a typical sci fi action film vibe like Star Wars. But Star Trek used to be and sometimes still today is different. Its more serious and more about the messege and about mirroring and overcoming our societies and personalities flaws. Its more philosophical and ethical dilemma is way more important than space fights and speacial effects. This movie on the other hand. The filming used to be different too. Longer scenes, more dialogue, less music
Can’t wait to bring you guys more of Star Trek. We got pulled all the way in just after this first movie. Hopefully at some point we can jump into Star Wars so we can get an accurate comparison of both of these series!
Star Trek The Motion Picture is a much more representative example of what Star Trek is supposed to be. Reportedly, JJ Abrams did Trek 2009 to show he could do Star Wars... And we know how THAT turned out.
Had Nero not gotten into the past, Kirk would have been born in Iowa, not space, and Pike would have been Captain for years before Kirk. Prime Pike’s stories are the subject of Star Wars: Strange New Worlds series on Paramount+.
That was fun you guys have a great reaction I loved watching your reaction to one of my favorite series. Star Trek was a TV series in 1966 to 1969 with older Spock and William Shatner as Kirk. Then there are six Star Trek Movies with that crew. Then 4 or five movies with the Next Generation crew. This movie is the first movie of the reboot with new actors but they brought in OG Spock which we all cheered when we saw it in the theater So plenty of Star Trek to watch
It's kind of a shame you guys aren't so familiar with the Star Treks that came before; knowing the Star Trek universe and character history adds a layer of enjoyment that makes the 'reboot' more enjoyable. That being said, I think it's kind of genius to reboot Star Trek as a change of timeline that makes an entirely new universe possible, utilizing characters and organizations we are already familiar with. It's dropping people we 'know' into new situations with new stresses to test how far those things will stretch them into different people.
We will definitely get into the originals at some point. The original films seemed to be goated, we will love to see the cast and how they made the original films such a classic.
@@DaKidsReact I was speaking more to the different TV series. I've been following since the very first series with Shatner and Nimoy in the 1960s and on into "Next Generation", "Voyager", and "Deep Space Nine". By then the franchise had jumped to film adaption. I lost interest in Scott Bakula's "Enterprise", but I have to say I wish I had cable to watch more recent extensions of the TV franchise. The original 1960s series set canon and iconic characters, as well as basic policy that keeps alive the liberal ideals of the 1960s; those ideals have become policy i how the Federation functions. Beyond that, the original series was sloppy and not well-developed, but who knew the franchise would have such a demanding fanbase that it would endure over 60 years? And as it endured, the writing, the science, the acting, and ALL the production values would improve. There was a time when Star Trek was a silly series on TV, a comic book for nerds, but it's moved to being fine theater with depth. Science fiction was always a kind of morality play, using aliens to give us enough disconnect to allow us to honestly evaluate our unintended and intended injustices. But back to my point: Not having the backstory of the original 1960s context does leave you missing some of the fun. There will be references that will sail right over your heads. But the Star Trek universe is now so rich that it does not diminish the enjoyment of the reboot films. Please next watch "Star Trek: Into Darkness" and then "Star Trek: Beyond".
A worthy reboot of one of the greatest media franchises in history! This was a great video guys, yall did a hell of a job! I really hope you continue this franchise, and maybe even consider going back through the original movies and TNG/DS9! The Trekkie community welcomes you!
Good to see people still get into Star Trek. For a lot of original Trek fans the so called Kelvin timeline is way different from how things gone down before, but because it is an entirely different timeline, I think it is a good entry point for present day audiences. The following movies continue with the same crew. If you wrap up with these, that is fine, but it may get you interested in older Trek. The Next Generation movies, or the original crew's adventures. The further back in time you go in the release dates, the slower the action gets, and more nerdy the story is. But it sure was nice to have the OG Spock interact with the young crew here. Good reaction. +1 Like
Star Trek has Nothing to do with Star Wars. Nothing. Please don’t confuse the two. Star Trek started out as a TV series in the 60’s. I distinctly remember the debut episode on the TV (yes, I’m that old🤣). You should check out the original TV show, it will help with context.
@DaKidsReact I totally understand if your not familiar with either series how you could confuse the two. I am sorry if I sounded to harsh in my comment. You can check out the original series on RUclips as well as Pluto. If you watch the next movie which involves Khan, please watch the original episode with this khan character. I promise, it will help.
"It has similarities to Star Wars I believe..." Lord, they mean not what they say...🤦🏻♂️ Begining w/ the JJ Abrams Star Trek films is like starting the Harry Potter movies w/ the Fantastic Beasts trilogy.
i wouldn't say this is similar to star WARS one has to do with science and quasi-realism and the other has mysticism and mythology the only things that are similar is the action-adventure atmosphere and the word "Star" in the titles lol You need to begin watching episodes 1-9 of star wars by the way
The Star Trek television series was originally produced in 1966, and it influenced the 1977 beginning of the Star Wars films. Star Trek was science fiction and NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) was very close to them inviting the cast to space launches and other events.
Star Trek and Star Wars are NOT the same thing. Star Trek was SOCIALLY advanced, Star Wars was TECHNOLOGY advanced. Star Trek was the FIRST television Sci-Fi series to tackle social issues including the VERY FIRST interracial kiss on T.V. back in the day when racial tensions were still high, and interracial relations were still HIGHLY Taboo. They covered many social issues, and did it AS ENTERTAINMENT. Most people never realized they were being TAUGHT about living together. Star Wars was TECHNOLOGICALLY advanced in that it created many new ways to create realistic scenes and created the birth of CGI. Lucas created many new ways to shoot scenes that far surpassed the "green screen" era of filming. While Star Wars still covered similar lessons, it did it in a HIGHLY technologically advanced method of filming that made REALISM a new way of viewing entertainment. BOTH are historically, and socially significant in their own way, but they are NOT the same... The ONLY similarity is the Sci-Fi space genre they both existed in.
Great reaction! Bear in mind that if you ever watch the original show, it's a little different because it's in the original universe and Kirk's personality is quite different. Since you asked for movie recommendations, here are a few: "Alien," "Aliens," "Contact," “The Dead Zone,” "Deja Vu," “Enemy Mine,” "Frequency," "The Green Mile," "Highlander," "The Matrix," "The Terminator," "The Thing" Older but still great: "Forbidden Planet," "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," "Psycho"
It got middling reviews, but Star Trek: Beyond (the 3rd in this particular Star Trek series) is REALLY good. The second is ok, but is far too much like the original Star Trek 2. Overall, if you go down the ST rabbit hole, particularly with movies, you'll be entertained much more often than not.
Want to add from my other comment, the future, older Spock was played by the late, Leonard Nimoy. He was the OG, ORIGINAL Spock from the original, late 1960's TV show that inspired the later, more recent TV shows and movies. If you want to watch more of these movies with THIS cast (Chris Pine as Captain Kirk) - there are three movies with Chris Pine - and in my opinion, these are the best and most fun of all the Star Trek movies. Others will disagree - and that's fine! I do think some of the shows and movies with Patrick Stewart - playing a new, captain - Captain Picard are good - but I really love Chris Pine's charm and humor as Captain Kirk. ❤
Loved your reaction and so glad you enjoyed it so much. I love this reboot of the Star Trek movies (the 2nd one with *mostly the same cast is very good as well). There are "Trekkies" and Star Wars fans. I like both, but lean toward Star Wars (mostly the original, early movies). Anyway, it's too bad you never saw any of the late 1960's Star Trek TV shows because this movie has so many hilarious references that you just don't know - but still enjoyable anyway without knowing the lore. Love your reactions. 🙌🏽 ❤ You should watch at least ONE of the original, 1960's Star Trek TV shows just so you can see where this came from. It will look really corny to you, but you might find it really fun.
Not just a great reboot but one the best sci-fi movies ever. You'll love the two sequels with the same cast - "Star Trek Into Darkness" and "Star Trek Beyond". Wish they'd made at least a couple more. I find these films better than the new Star Wars movies. Loved your reaction as always! Specially the "centipede in the brain" bit, LMAO!!
Almost gave a thumbs down when ya tried to say that Star Trek and Star Wars were lookin' like the same thing @14:20. lol I hope y'all do watch the other 2 movies. The 4th movie is I post production currently and I'm super excited. I also think y'all should consider reacting to the TV show, especially The Next Generation season and onward.
Just ran across your video. So you will know, Star Trek has nothing to do with Star Wars. Star Wars is set in a time long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away. Star Trek (The Original Series) is set in the future and takes place in this galaxy, our galaxy. Star Trek came first with the original series premier in 1966. Star Wars hit the big screen in 1976. Star Trek , since 1966, has become the biggest television franchise in history😮😊
Both Star Trek and Star Wars would be classified as Sci Fi movies. However you are mistaken when you make the assumption that a Sci Fi movie or book has to be set in outer space. A perfect example of this is one of the first books ever written that could be classified as being Sci Fi and that is Jules Verne’s book Around The World In Eighty Days. If you are interested in watching more Sci Fi movies you will find that there is a vast selection to choose available today. I will just recommend three of them which have very little or nothing to do with outer space. Two of the movies star the actor Charlton Heston but playing different characters in each movie. The first movie came out in the late 1960s and is called Planet of the Apes. They remade this movie sometime in the past 15 to 20 years. The other movie he made came out in the early 1970s and is called Soylent Green. The third movie also came out in the early to mid 1970s and is called Logan’s Run and stars Michael York. As far as I know they have not made any remakes for either Soylent Green or Logan’s Run.
The Star Trek movies made after this one have the same cast & a couple of new caritors, and the movies made before this one have the original cast playing the same roles, (Kirk, Spock, Ohura, Mc Coy & Scotty) This 66 year young Aussie says they are all good 😊
12:30 you know, it didn't register on me the first time, but the way he chuckles at "enlist" there is important because you don't get to be captain of a ship as an enlisted man, unless through exemplary service meriting a field recommendation by an officer. if you were to enlist in Starfleet, you'd be posted in and out of starships or stations, wherever you'd be required. if you were to join the academy to be an officer, you'd be *_joining_* Starfleet, for life potentially, living ON your assigned ship. Pike here is telling him "leave all of this and come with me", and Kirk of course is like "You're trippin', man."
Great reaction. This is a reboot from the original series. The cast is great and copies a lot of the mannerisms of the original cast. For the previous movies: Star Trek The Motion Picture - it’s decent but very slow. 2 Wrath of Khan is excellent 3 Search for Spock is better than avg 4 The Voyage Home is great 5 Final Frontier is average 6 Undiscovered Country is good and the last one with the full original cast Then come the four Next Generation movies. Some of them were good others avg. Then the reboots which this one is the first.
New subscriber. I challenge you both to check out the original Star Trek series 1966 - 1969. This series is iconic and changed television forever. It is, IMHO, the greatest television series of all time. 79 episodes of intelligent science fiction. Those who have not seen the original Star Trek series are missing out on blue ribbon entertainment 😮😊
Guess what? You still haven't seen Star Trek. But you're right that this has similarities to Star Wars. J J Abrams wasn't a Star Trek fan. But he was a Star Wars fan. So, he made a Star Trek movie for Star Wars fans. Let me know when you watch real Star Trek.
There are two more movies in this universe, with these actors, but aaaaallllll of the rest of the Star Trek movies and shows take place in Spock-Prime's universe.
To know what was going on you needed to watch a number of Star Trek the Original Series at least the first 4 movies of Star Trek and episodes of Star Trek The Next Generation that involved Spock to know what was going on
Uhura is freedom in Swahili. In the original tv series, she was the first main character of color in a tv series. She also kissed Captain Kirk in the first interracial kiss.
I've loved watching reacts for literal years and NEVER have I ever cared to watch the same channel react to different stuff. Like I'll just search for reacts to something specific and watch different channels react to that specific thing. But when I tell you this is the 5th or 6th react I've watched of y'all in a row... y'all doing it different. You say just enough, you show just enough, and you actually try and take in whatever you're watching with open curiosity and enjoyment. Keep doing what you're doing, cause it's special fr. +subscribed
This means SOOO MUCH to us, honestly. Creating a community of people who enjoy our reactions, hoping to give off a friend vibe to our reactions is something we set out to do. Thank you for reaching out & voicing this as it pushes us to continue doing what we do. I (swizz) when editing, try my best to make the reactions something you can follow, while still getting the action parts in there. MUCH LOVE to you💙
It's fun to see how people who aren't already familiar with these characters react to the Trek universe for the first time. Glad y'all liked it!
Came here thinking the same. Some of the comments these two are making are so cute to me. 😊
Well, an alternate reality Trek universe, not really a prime universe introduction. haha
The only thing that Star Trek and Star Wars have in common is that they both take place in space.

Simon Pegg portraying Scotty was brilliant. Ship's engineer. Pegg was perfect for it. Mr. Scott.

It's kind of a shame you guys aren't so familiar with the Star Treks that came before; knowing the Star Trek universe and character history adds a layer of enjoyment that makes the 'reboot' more enjoyable.
That being said, I think it's kind of genius to reboot Star Trek as a change of timeline that makes an entirely new universe possible, utilizing characters and organizations we are already familiar with. It's dropping people we 'know' into new situations with new stresses to test how far those things will stretch them into different people.
We will definitely get into the originals at some point. The original films seemed to be goated, we will love to see the cast and how they made the original films such a classic.
@@DaKidsReact I was speaking more to the different TV series.
I've been following since the very first series with Shatner and Nimoy in the 1960s and on into "Next Generation", "Voyager", and "Deep Space Nine". By then the franchise had jumped to film adaption.
I lost interest in Scott Bakula's "Enterprise", but I have to say I wish I had cable to watch more recent extensions of the TV franchise.
The original 1960s series set canon and iconic characters, as well as basic policy that keeps alive the liberal ideals of the 1960s; those ideals have become policy i how the Federation functions.
Beyond that, the original series was sloppy and not well-developed, but who knew the franchise would have such a demanding fanbase that it would endure over 60 years? And as it endured, the writing, the science, the acting, and ALL the production values would improve.
There was a time when Star Trek was a silly series on TV, a comic book for nerds, but it's moved to being fine theater with depth. Science fiction was always a kind of morality play, using aliens to give us enough disconnect to allow us to honestly evaluate our unintended and intended injustices.
But back to my point:
Not having the backstory of the original 1960s context does leave you missing some of the fun. There will be references that will sail right over your heads. But the Star Trek universe is now so rich that it does not diminish the enjoyment of the reboot films. Please next watch "Star Trek: Into Darkness" and then "Star Trek: Beyond".
🖖🏿🖖🏾🖖🏽🖖🏼🖖🏻🖖
Broh taking notes 😂😂😂😂 no cap, I be doing the same sht😮
A worthy reboot of one of the greatest media franchises in history! This was a great video guys, yall did a hell of a job! I really hope you continue this franchise, and maybe even consider going back through the original movies and TNG/DS9! The Trekkie community welcomes you!
Can’t wait for y’all to react to Star Trek into darkness…. Such a good sequel
We’ve reacted to it about 2 months ago, will get it done for YT at some point in the upcoming months🙏🏾
Good to see people still get into Star Trek.
For a lot of original Trek fans the so called Kelvin timeline is way different from how things gone down before, but because it is an entirely different timeline, I think it is a good entry point for present day audiences.
The following movies continue with the same crew. If you wrap up with these, that is fine, but it may get you interested in older Trek. The Next Generation movies, or the original crew's adventures.
The further back in time you go in the release dates, the slower the action gets, and more nerdy the story is.
But it sure was nice to have the OG Spock interact with the young crew here.
Good reaction. +1 Like
The entire crew is cast perfectly and matches the characters and the mannerisms of the original cast crew perfectly.
Which shows that the actors for this movie did their homework.
Star Trek has Nothing to do with Star Wars. Nothing. Please don’t confuse the two.
Star Trek started out as a TV series in the 60’s. I distinctly remember the debut episode on the TV (yes, I’m that old🤣). You should check out the original TV show, it will help with context.
Lmao you are just wise😂 but yeah I think as first time viewers of either series they might make that connection since both series are based in space.
@DaKidsReact
I totally understand if your not familiar with either series how you could confuse the two. I am sorry if I sounded to harsh in my comment. You can check out the original series on RUclips as well as Pluto. If you watch the next movie which involves Khan, please watch the original episode with this khan character. I promise, it will help.
Kewl. My band of brothers brothers. Good job. Dig this movie.
"It has similarities to Star Wars I believe..."
Lord, they mean not what they say...🤦🏻♂️
Begining w/ the JJ Abrams Star Trek films is like starting the Harry Potter movies w/ the Fantastic Beasts trilogy.
Lol we haven’t seen Star Wars and this is our first glimpse of Star Trek! So hopefully we get to show our experiences between the two to you guys.
Superman 1978 and Superman 2 1980 The Richard Donner Cut with Christopher Reeve
YES!!!! Please watch this rebooted trilogy...Amazing!!!!
i wouldn't say this is similar to star WARS
one has to do with science and quasi-realism and the other has mysticism and mythology
the only things that are similar is the action-adventure atmosphere and the word "Star" in the titles lol
You need to begin watching episodes 1-9 of star wars by the way
The Star Trek television series was originally produced in 1966, and it influenced the 1977 beginning of the Star Wars films.
Star Trek was science fiction and NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) was very close to them inviting the cast to space launches and other events.
starwars lol
U fellers picking all the right ones😅
We appreciate you💙 into darkness is next!
Star Trek and Star Wars are NOT the same thing.
Star Trek was SOCIALLY advanced, Star Wars was TECHNOLOGY advanced.
Star Trek was the FIRST television Sci-Fi series to tackle social issues including the VERY FIRST interracial kiss on T.V. back in the day when racial tensions were still high, and interracial relations were still HIGHLY Taboo. They covered many social issues, and did it AS ENTERTAINMENT. Most people never realized they were being TAUGHT about living together.
Star Wars was TECHNOLOGICALLY advanced in that it created many new ways to create realistic scenes and created the birth of CGI. Lucas created many new ways to shoot scenes that far surpassed the "green screen" era of filming. While Star Wars still covered similar lessons, it did it in a HIGHLY technologically advanced method of filming that made REALISM a new way of viewing entertainment.
BOTH are historically, and socially significant in their own way, but they are NOT the same... The ONLY similarity is the Sci-Fi space genre they both existed in.
Also, my fave of the Star Trek series is Deep Space Nine... Highly recommended!
The Romulan who said "Sir, if you ignite the Red Matter" was voiced by Will Wheton aka Wesley Crusher from Star Trek The Next Generation.
Great reaction! Bear in mind that if you ever watch the original show, it's a little different because it's in the original universe and Kirk's personality is quite different.
Since you asked for movie recommendations, here are a few:
"Alien,"
"Aliens,"
"Contact,"
“The Dead Zone,”
"Deja Vu,"
“Enemy Mine,”
"Frequency,"
"The Green Mile,"
"Highlander,"
"The Matrix,"
"The Terminator,"
"The Thing"
Older but still great:
"Forbidden Planet,"
"The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,"
"Psycho"
Y'all would laugh your butts off watching Spaceballs!
You're killing me with y our Star Trek and Star Wars being similar comment.
Yooooo.... you guys missed Tyler Perry as Commander Starfleet.
It got middling reviews, but Star Trek: Beyond (the 3rd in this particular Star Trek series) is REALLY good. The second is ok, but is far too much like the original Star Trek 2. Overall, if you go down the ST rabbit hole, particularly with movies, you'll be entertained much more often than not.
Arrival. Watch it. Amazing movie that will blow your mind
Want to add from my other comment, the future, older Spock was played by the late, Leonard Nimoy. He was the OG, ORIGINAL Spock from the original, late 1960's TV show that inspired the later, more recent TV shows and movies. If you want to watch more of these movies with THIS cast (Chris Pine as Captain Kirk) - there are three movies with Chris Pine - and in my opinion, these are the best and most fun of all the Star Trek movies. Others will disagree - and that's fine! I do think some of the shows and movies with Patrick Stewart - playing a new, captain - Captain Picard are good - but I really love Chris Pine's charm and humor as Captain Kirk. ❤
You should check out the original series Season 1 eps 22 Space Seed. Then watch The Wrath of Kahn 1982
Loved your reaction and so glad you enjoyed it so much. I love this reboot of the Star Trek movies (the 2nd one with *mostly the same cast is very good as well). There are "Trekkies" and Star Wars fans. I like both, but lean toward Star Wars (mostly the original, early movies). Anyway, it's too bad you never saw any of the late 1960's Star Trek TV shows because this movie has so many hilarious references that you just don't know - but still enjoyable anyway without knowing the lore. Love your reactions. 🙌🏽 ❤ You should watch at least ONE of the original, 1960's Star Trek TV shows just so you can see where this came from. It will look really corny to you, but you might find it really fun.
Not just a great reboot but one the best sci-fi movies ever. You'll love the two sequels with the same cast - "Star Trek Into Darkness" and "Star Trek Beyond". Wish they'd made at least a couple more. I find these films better than the new Star Wars movies. Loved your reaction as always! Specially the "centipede in the brain" bit, LMAO!!
Damn. Because of this movie, the young generation believes Star Trek is basically Fast and Furious in space. Mindless action. RIP real sci-fi.
If you couldnt handle the slug scene here, dont watch the original Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan movie...
Almost gave a thumbs down when ya tried to say that Star Trek and Star Wars were lookin' like the same thing @14:20. lol
I hope y'all do watch the other 2 movies. The 4th movie is I post production currently and I'm super excited. I also think y'all should consider reacting to the TV show, especially The Next Generation season and onward.
Just ran across your video. So you will know, Star Trek has nothing to do with Star Wars. Star Wars is set in a time long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away. Star Trek (The Original Series) is set in the future and takes place in this galaxy, our galaxy. Star Trek came first with the original series premier in 1966. Star Wars hit the big screen in 1976. Star Trek , since 1966, has become the biggest television franchise in history😮😊
Both Star Trek and Star Wars would be classified as Sci Fi movies. However you are mistaken when you make the assumption that a Sci Fi movie or book has to be set in outer space. A perfect example of this is one of the first books ever written that could be classified as being Sci Fi and that is Jules Verne’s book Around The World In Eighty Days. If you are interested in watching more Sci Fi movies you will find that there is a vast selection to choose available today. I will just recommend three of them which have very little or nothing to do with outer space. Two of the movies star the actor Charlton Heston but playing different characters in each movie. The first movie came out in the late 1960s and is called Planet of the Apes. They remade this movie sometime in the past 15 to 20 years. The other movie he made came out in the early 1970s and is called Soylent Green. The third movie also came out in the early to mid 1970s and is called Logan’s Run and stars Michael York. As far as I know they have not made any remakes for either Soylent Green or Logan’s Run.
The Star Trek movies made after this one have the same cast & a couple of new caritors, and the movies made before this one have the original cast playing the same roles, (Kirk, Spock, Ohura, Mc Coy & Scotty)
This 66 year young Aussie says they are all good 😊
Omg I love this one!! I'm excited for it to be on here! But if anyone was wondering, the Patreon is SOOOOO WORTH IT!
Too bad the boy who played chekov died... check out the rest of the movies, enjoy his.
Acting acting he was amazing
12:30
you know, it didn't register on me the first time, but the way he chuckles at "enlist" there is important because you don't get to be captain of a ship as an enlisted man, unless through exemplary service meriting a field recommendation by an officer.
if you were to enlist in Starfleet, you'd be posted in and out of starships or stations, wherever you'd be required.
if you were to join the academy to be an officer, you'd be *_joining_* Starfleet, for life potentially, living ON your assigned ship.
Pike here is telling him "leave all of this and come with me", and Kirk of course is like "You're trippin', man."
@Da Kids when you all going to watch the next one? :)
We’ve watched the next one, into darkness, i
Just haven’t had the time to edit it yet.
@@DaKidsReact thats good news ty
I still ultimately prefer the original movies, some of the stuff in these reboots was way too gradiose.
Great reaction. This is a reboot from the original series. The cast is great and copies a lot of the mannerisms of the original cast. For the previous movies:
Star Trek The Motion Picture - it’s decent but very slow.
2 Wrath of Khan is excellent
3 Search for Spock is better than avg
4 The Voyage Home is great
5 Final Frontier is average
6 Undiscovered Country is good and the last one with the full original cast
Then come the four Next Generation movies. Some of them were good others avg.
Then the reboots which this one is the first.
New subscriber. I challenge you both to check out the original Star Trek series 1966 - 1969. This series is iconic and changed television forever. It is, IMHO, the greatest television series of all time. 79 episodes of intelligent science fiction. Those who have not seen the original Star Trek series are missing out on blue ribbon entertainment 😮😊
You can translate that “live long and prosper’ from young Spock as “live long and suck it”
Guess what? You still haven't seen Star Trek. But you're right that this has similarities to Star Wars. J J Abrams wasn't a Star Trek fan. But he was a Star Wars fan. So, he made a Star Trek movie for Star Wars fans. Let me know when you watch real Star Trek.
There are two more movies in this universe, with these actors, but aaaaallllll of the rest of the Star Trek movies and shows take place in Spock-Prime's universe.
Hi Guys that was great, 😂 You might want to check out the series " Vikings " it's not very long but it is great. 🖖😂🤜👏🙏.
One big difference between Star Wars and Star Trek is the Enterprise is also a main character and everyone's bedroom.
This was great! So much fun🥂
A flat earther watching, enjoying, Star Trek.
Captain Pike had been to the future and seen Kirk, to why he kept promoting him for Starfleet and why he appointed him as first officer to Spock.
To know what was going on you needed to watch a number of Star Trek the Original Series at least the first 4 movies of Star Trek and episodes of Star Trek The Next Generation that involved Spock to know what was going on
Loved your reaction... You guys picked up on a lot of shit for not knowing the lore.. 💪
The Lord Of The Rings is Fantasy, not Science Fiction😮😊
you need to watch the next ones too
We’ve watched into darkness, will watch the last one sometime next month
You should check out Star Trek 2 The Wrath Of Kahn
Uhura is freedom in Swahili. In the original tv series, she was the first main character of color in a tv series. She also kissed Captain Kirk in the first interracial kiss.
Glad you guys enjoyed the movie. Be sure to check out both sequels releases.
Startrek is NOT like Starwars.
Yooo glad to see ya'll loving Star Trek and this movie is a really good reboot of the OG series. 🖖
It would be nice if you reversed the size of the film and yourselves.
Billiam...I LOVE THAT!
What? You can't even talk.
I got your gun.
The director that made this took something cool and made it kick ass
I've loved watching reacts for literal years and NEVER have I ever cared to watch the same channel react to different stuff. Like I'll just search for reacts to something specific and watch different channels react to that specific thing. But when I tell you this is the 5th or 6th react I've watched of y'all in a row... y'all doing it different. You say just enough, you show just enough, and you actually try and take in whatever you're watching with open curiosity and enjoyment. Keep doing what you're doing, cause it's special fr. +subscribed
This means SOOO MUCH to us, honestly. Creating a community of people who enjoy our reactions, hoping to give off a friend vibe to our reactions is something we set out to do. Thank you for reaching out & voicing this as it pushes us to continue doing what we do. I (swizz) when editing, try my best to make the reactions something you can follow, while still getting the action parts in there. MUCH LOVE to you💙
