Did you know the guy who called red alert on Yorktown when the swarm attacked 31:02 is the kelvin version of one of Prime kirks acadamy enemies they often pranked each other.
RIP Leonard Nimoy and Anton Yelchin. They did a beautiful tribute to the both of them, and seeing the photo of the original cast together at the end always makes me tear up.
Seriously, Anton's Chekov is what sold me on the reboot. And now Anton's Chekov makes me choke up. Big 6'4" scowly old Marine absolutely wrecked every time I watch the first new ST or Terminator Salvation. lol proud of it too; nerd luyyyyf. RIP Anton; Star Trek is not Star Trek without you.
So sad he was killed by a car AI that as Anton changed oil, it started, put itself in drive and then pinned him to the garage door. Was donated to the cast for ads and quickly pulled.
@@charlesmaurer6214I'm not sure where you got that information from but it's incorrect. It was a Jeep Grand Cherokee, it didn't have AI or self driving features. It was recalled because of a badly designed gear shifter, basically drivers incorrectly thought they had put their cars in Park but they were still in gear. It was linked to 40+ injuries and dozens of other accidents. He thought he had parked his car on his sloped driveway. He hadn't. He got out of his car, it rolled backwards down the driveway and killed him.
That's not what happened. Per the NYT: The 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee that rolled backward down a driveway and killed the actor Anton Yelchin early Sunday was a model that Fiat Chrysler has recalled for a gearshift issue that has confused drivers, leading them to accidentally leave the car in neutral when they think it is safely in park.
It was said Leonard nimoy was brought to tears when he saw Carl urbans performance as mccoy, he said it was so close to deforestation kelly, he couldn't help but tear up
I remember taking my mother (who is a huge fan of the original series) to see the first movie in this trilogy. After seeing it, I asked what she thought about Chris Pine as Kirk. Her exact words were, "he has just a bit of the devil in his smile, like Shatner did. They really found the perfect man to take up the mantle." Honestly, it's rare to see so many iconic characters so perfectly cast for a reboot.
I could not disagree more. Chris Pine is nothing like Shatner. He's the exact same as in every other movie. Karl Urban is amazing as Bones, Simon Pegg is very good ss Scotty. Other than that, the rest of the cast is middling to poor. They're good actors, but they're not capturing the original characters. Pine is by far the worst. Of course they're not helped by the poor scripts. That's not their fault.
@@tedkord1968 I agree that Karl Urban does the best. I'd say Zachary Quinto gets screwed by the script in the sequels because of the 'bringing out his human side' point they fall back on. Never go full human. Of course, my mom hated TNG because she found it too sedate.
Old movies, new movies, old series, new series, whatever. Jen, you're a terrific Trek fan. No matter what segment of the Trek universe we watch together, you make it better!
@@jenmurrayxo We can 3D print rockets... My question is... Why are we not building warehouses to 3D printing sections of the Enterprise and let other technologies that are currently in there infancies let them mature and later install into the ship that`s been built....
The aircraft carrier the original ship was named after, USS _Enterprise_ (CV-6), was the sister ship of USS _Yorktown_ (CV-5). The original USS _Yorktown_ was sunk at Midway in 1942. USS _Enterprise_ made it through the whole of the Pacific War. She was marked as surplus in 1946, and ultimately sold for scrap in 1958, six years before Gene Roddenberry - who was a bomber pilot during the war - began work on _Star Trek_ with the S.S. _Yorktown._
As an older generation (Gen X) fan who grew up with TNG as “my” Star Trek, I really like these newer movies (& most of the new shows, too). In part, because of folks like you, Jen: the newer movies hooked you because they were tailored to your sensibilities, but were still recognizable as Star Trek at their core. The Kelvin movies minted a new Star Trek fan in you, & you are not alone. I defend the new movies & shows to older fans for exactly that reason. They have attracted tons of new fans to one of the best franchises in the world. We should all be happy about that. Every Trek is someone’s first. Every Trek is someone’s favorite. I am just happy that more Trek is being made & new people are finding it every day.
Agreed! And I think the spirit of Star Trek itself is open mindedness, exploration, experimentation, evolving... I thought this was a cool, different take on an alternate timeline that didn't mess with the OG stuff that made me want to delve deeper into the old shows and movies 🖖
As reinventions go, they also did a superb job with Star Trek Strange New Worlds, which takes place on the Enterprise 10 years before TOS. We see Pike, Spock, Uhura, Kirk, Chapel and later Scotty with a splendid crew, episodic stories. They also did a great job updating the intro theme and the ship.
I think any reboot, remake, reimagined of any movie or television the picks up a new fan that enjoys it and perhaps appreciates the originals is worth it.
the Little girl with Sulu is Demora Sulu, his daughter, she's seen in the original timeline in the movie Generations as the Helmsman of the Enterprise B
Glad the Ill-fated _Star Trek Enterprise_ got some recognition in this movie: The MACOs and the Xindi played a big part during the Series‘ third Season.
I agree with you. I know nothing can replace our original cast, but this one has a ton of chemistry too. Star Trek always shines when it focuses on the friendships among the crew. This version has so much heart. And the musical scores are just phenomenal!
Anton Yelchin (Chekov) died during the filming of this movie, he hadn't shown up for rehearsal and when they went to his home he was found dead in his driveway. Apparently after he pulled into his driveway, he got out of his Jeep Cherokee to check for mail at his locked gate, his vehicle rolled down the steep incline pinning Anton between the pillar and the Jeep killing him. He was 27. 😔 Anyway, loved the review, love you, take care and stay safe ❤
A fourth STAR TREK movie was in development, with Chris Hemsworth reprising his role as George Kirk, who didn't die, but ended up in an alternate universe as he was imprisoned by inter dimensional beings with God like abilities and Kirk and the Enterprise crew must save his father. However it was cancelled following the accidental death of Anton Yelchin.
@@user-be7tc2bd6ethe problem being sometimes paying all the actors their "worth" makes the production too expensive to be profitable. And it does sound like a terrible plot.
As a classic _STAR TREK_ fan, I was quite impressed with how they split this timeline while keeping the original in tact. IMO the _Kelvin Timeline_ concept was inspired.
The USS Franklin is meant to be from the Star Trek: Enterprise era - the design is very similar to the NX-Refit that was intended to be introduced in the not-filmed 5th season (which was in fact meant to take place during the Romulan War - which is where "Krall" lost his mind). Edit: It's also where the Xindi was a thing - Season 3, basically. No spoilers.
Great reaction Jen. I'm one of the old die hard Star Trek fans. I've been watching Star Trek since the early 70's. And I think you are right Jen when you say that they were made primarily to attract the younger generations. But old or young, how can you not love these movies?
Man, i wasn't expecting to tear up hearing Anton as Chekov speaking in the end credits, but he was such a great actor and filled the role perfectly. This is my favorite of the Kelvin movies. The visuals and the score are epic, and the cast is firing on all cylinders here. I'm one of the few that grew up watching TNG when it was new but still like these movies. Good to know that they are still drawing in new fans even 15 years later
Jen you really surprised me, besides me you are the only other person (that I have spoken to written or verbally) that released the song (I didn't know the name) they used to disrupt the signal was the same song as the boy Kirk was listening to when he stole his stepdads car. You have risen 10 fold in my estimation as a Trekkie/ Trekker. (which ever term you prefer) 💋❤❤❤❤❤
The Director of "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" (Justin Lin) takes Our Favorite Crew on one Wild and Action-Packed Ride😎and of course, I AM HERE FOR IT!👌Good Afternoon Jen💝Thank You so much for watching this one, and I Hope You Enjoyed it as much as I do...👍
A beat so ILL that it can be weaponized. One of two facts about Sabotage that prove just how awesome it is. (The other fact being that there are action figures for the original music video.)
This is an underrated gem. It went out of it's way to give us an interesting multi-faceted villain without retreading old characters. Not only that, actually made an interesting NEW member of the gang. If there ever is a new film I need to hear her talk about her new "house". I want to hear they salvaged parts of the Franklin for the Enterprise repair, and that she can tell you where each bit is.
I'm so glad you've really been enjoying Star Trek, Jen, and there's still so much more. I especially have to agree with you that Karl Urban makes a great Bones. I think they did a great job with the casting in general for this version of the characters. Great reaction!!
A bittersweet watch, Jen, it's a great film, but we lost, Leonard Nimoy and Anton Yelchin. 💔 I would love to see watch your reaction to more of the original series, please.
love your love for old and new trek. keep going with all of the shows, there is something to love in all of them. Regardless of what others might say or think.
Man, imagine being a highly decorated MACO like Edison and protecting the Earth through 2 wars (tho the Xindi war wasn't really a war in the classic sense, so i guess only one) only to be put on an outdated ship and be told to go explore lol.
Leonard Nimoy gets credited as a "Prime" example in two different franchises! He also voiced the scientific Sleestak in Will Farrell's "Land of the Lost" movie! He narrated, and maybe hosted, the original "In Search Of..." and his successor here hosts the revival version. In the original series version of "Mission: Impossible" he was also a secret agent. He was a great person to meet and chat with! Including being with William Shatner. My favorite encounter was not at an autograph table or in a Q&A line, but when my best friend and I randomly encountered them, as we and they were just walking. I'm not sure if that was just the mingling part of "Supper with the Stars" or during the regular convention session or both? 🤔 I look forward now to viewing your video! 😊
Ehhhhhhh.... (shrug) I guess it's alright if you haven't seen and have no knowledge of the "Enterprise" Pre-Federation era of Star Trek before watching Beyond. R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015) & Anton Yelchin (1989-2016)
I'm not a big trekie. Star Trek fans hate me because I love these JJ movies. This is my favorite Star Trek movie. Anton gets to shine and I love the Spock and Bones stuff. This one is lots of fun. Love your channel btw. Keep up the good work 👍
This Trekkie does not. This is my favorite out of the JJ movies and probably top five of all the movies. Though I'll admit I love everything except for Discovery. Even Enterprise.
As a fan of the Enterprise tv show, I freaked out when they referenced things from that series. This and the previous movie dont get enough love......quite the opposite actually, but I find them so fun. A fourth movie would be great and it sounds like maybe it might be happening but its been so hard to get that project going from what I hear.
D'you know wasn't the biggest fan of this when it came out, but Love Star Trek and have now seen this 4 times and has got better, Slow Burn this one. Interested to see what Jen makes of it.
6:42 Mark! It is cool to see a full-sized starship launch like that rather tiny ones as seen in "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" and both versions of "Battlestar Galactica"! 🖖
Probably my three most favorite episode from TOS that you have not already watched are: Gamesters of Triskelion: My favorite overacting by William Shatner Day of the Dove: Has my favorite line in all of the shows and movies Patterns of Force: A great commentary on the dangers of trying to use evil for good. I think you will really enjoy those three. If you have already seen any of these, I missed it.
I know this was a while ago, but I just want to say, my Mom is a die-hard Trek fan, and watched the original series as it aired when she was in high school. And she's loved the reboots. They aren't trying to replace anything. Like most of Trek they're just adding more. I also really like these, and especially love how good the casting was. (Spock has always been my favorite character in all of Trek, and I think Zachary Quinto really nailed the character.) I'm glad Jen enjoyed them and is enjoying the rest of Star Trek.
Thanks jen. On kirk and spock as a great team . There is a deleted scene from the first movie 09 . Where kirk is speaking to spock prime about how they are not friends and hate each other. Shock says they will be friends and a great team , that they will have a famous partnership. Like lennon and Mccarthy ( the beatles) .
Jen, you look quite fetching in that uniform, it suits you. I enjoyed this movie more than the second one it had the heart the second one was missing. However, I am a Trekkie through and through, and I love them all. Great reaction Jen!
40:21 Mark! No, they aren't rebuilding the wrecked ship. They built a replacement ship. Knowing what I now know about the "Enterprise-D" I see no reason now to repair and/or rebuild the wrecked one, though. In the Prime Timeline, she exploded because of the self-destruct and then experienced atmospheric entry burning and then impacting on the planet's surface, and then the planet exploded! There's no coming back from that! 😮
I've been watching Trek TOS since the early 70s in syndication as a kid after school, then later in the evenings after the local nightly news (it bounced around over the years). Even so, I enjoyed the 2009 Star Trek. I did not care for "Into Darkness" all that much, but I loved "Beyond". I really do want another movie with this cast. Just a shame that Anton is not with us - that was heartbreaking.
🔔 👦 "HEY, YOU GOT JEN MURRAY IN MY STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES!" | 👩 "AND YOU GOT STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES IN MY JEN MURRAY!" | 🤦 "CALM DOWN, YOU TWO. IT'S OBVIOUS WHAT THE ANSWER TO THIS DILEMMA IS: JEN MURRAY HAS TO REACT TO THE REST OF STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES!" 🤗
43:51 Mark! 1.6K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 You're welcome, and thanks! ☺️ Notes: "Netflix" somehow got to show "Star Trek: Prodigy" and so I viewed it! I appreciate these three live-action movies now even more so after seeing that series made for children or young people. 🤔 By that I mean, that I'm disappointed that by the 24th Century in that series and the 23rd Century in this movie trilogy, that more relevance is given to Slanguage than proper grammar! 😳 Bless you Jen Murray for being not just pretty, but also smart and intelligent enough to understand this trilogy as well as the older shows and movies! I'm 59 and I have no problems with the canon (not "cannon") status of them! "Apocrypha" is applied to non-canon stuff like fan-made productions. I can accept alternate timelines and realities and a Multiverse! It is easy for me because I accept the phenomenon known as "The Tommy Westphall Universe"! As anything goes in the imagination of an autistic boy! 🧐
Best line of the movie comes early on when Kirk is complaining about how routine everything has become, and says that "things have become...episodic." That was such a great call-back to TOS. The most heart-breaking moment of course was the reveal of the death of Ambassador Spock. Fans were still mourning the loss of Leonard Nimoy. It was a respectful tribute.
One of the great things about _Star Trek_ is that it reinvents itself for different generations. My mom was a fan of the Original Series, while I grew up with _The Next Generation._ Though the different groups of fans may squabble amongst themselves about the pros and cons of their eras, it is smart to never let the IP stagnate. This is my favorite of the Kelvin timeline movies. It's sad that tragedy bookended the production of this film. Leonard Nimoy passed a little before production began, and only weeks before the release of the movie, Anton Yelchin died in a freak accident. If production of a fourth Kelvin _Trek_ ever gets off the ground, the writers must address the problem of Anton's Chekov. While there is no perfect solution, an in-universe explanation exists. They can say Chekov left the _Enterprise_ to serve aboard the _Reliant,_ just as the character did in _The Wrath of Khan._
26:37 Mark! It isn't a spoiler now to point out that this movie has those that played "Steve Trevor" & "Heimdall" & "Gamora" & Executioner" and the actor from "Third Watch" & "Heroes" who is also in a "Star Wars" movie! 🤔
4:45 yeah... uhmm.... trying to un-complicate the complicated here... Sulu's _daughter_ shows up in ST 7 at the the helm of the Enterprise-B, before the encounter with the Nexus. that on-screen event then triggered a fan production called Star Trek Phase II to show an episode where then-Ensign Sulu is time-shifted in a transporter accident and fathers a daughter called Alara. That daughter is killed off, and Sulu is reverted to his younger self. George Takei guest stars as old man Sulu. _off_ that plot point, years later we get another production set in the prime timeline where old Sulu (Takei) talks to his ST7-established daughter Demora about that Phase2-established daughter Alara, which we never saw. since we never saw neither Demora's nor Alara's mother/s (tho they are mentioned in various books), and having Takei coming out as gay after the end of Star Trek, they decided to make _this_ Sulu (alternate) gay. _this_ daughter we see here could either be Demora, OR Alara... fans widely consider her to be Demora since it's the one we've seen in the movie. it's a retroactively-referenced spin-off reference. bordering causality loop. yeah.... Trek is full of those. 5:55 and that officer is Commodore (Admiral?) Paris, which is a reference to Tom Paris from Voyager. this would be this timeline's great-grandmother to Tom, 100 years down the line. her first name is never mentioned, but it would be cool if she was named Miral, after Tom's daughter, which would make her a retroactive reference to _this_ Miral, and ... you get the point.
The MACOs were first introduced on Star Ţrek: Enterprise during the Xindi War as Special Forces Officers who were posted onboard after a tragic event rocked the still-in-infancy 22nd Century Starfleet.
17:15 Mark! Someone published a book, a wall poster, and maybe calendars, dedicated to the "History of Ships Named Enterprise" and in that spirit I share this article link with you! 🖖 en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=USS_Franklin&action=edit§ion=0
I'm glad you're so aware of the music of movies. Michael Giacchino is one of the best of the biz. He also did some music for the new Trek shows AND he directed a Short Trek called Ephraim and Dot on Paramount+ which is excellent.
This is my favorite of the trilogy. It really feels like classic Star Trek, in multiple ways, while being it's own thing. And all of the actors feel like they fully become the characters in this one. The fact that an actual Star Trek fan Directed this one is very obvious. I also loved all of the references to Star Trek: Enterprise, the most underrated of the classic Star Trek shows. **Also Kirk learning, this early in his career that he doesn't want the Admiral position, that he's a captain that needs a ship. Instead of having to go through 4 whole movies to get there. Is awesome.**
THRUSTERS ON FULL!! Some say this one is the weak one but I think it's THE PERFECT third episode! Kirk's monologue, Spocks monologue. The only thing I found weak is the "Weapon" and the motorcycle 🏍️ ride. Great Movie and Great Reaction!! Ohh Nice Uniform! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

Man, i wasn't expecting to tear up hearing Anton as Chekov speaking in the end credits, but he was such a great actor and filled the role perfectly.
This is my favorite of the Kelvin movies. The visuals and the score are epic, and the cast is firing on all cylinders here. I'm one of the few that grew up watching TNG when it was new but still like these movies. Good to know that they are still drawing in new fans even 15 years later
Jen you really surprised me, besides me you are the only other person (that I have spoken to written or verbally) that released the song (I didn't know the name) they used to disrupt the signal was the same song as the boy Kirk was listening to when he stole his stepdads car. You have risen 10 fold in my estimation as a Trekkie/ Trekker. (which ever term you prefer) 💋❤❤❤❤❤
Really? Did everyone you knew just totally forget the first movie? That's.... fascinating
The Director of "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" (Justin Lin) takes Our Favorite Crew on one Wild and Action-Packed Ride😎and of course, I AM HERE FOR IT!👌Good Afternoon Jen💝Thank You so much for watching this one, and I Hope You Enjoyed it as much as I do...👍
A beat so ILL that it can be weaponized. One of two facts about Sabotage that prove just how awesome it is. (The other fact being that there are action figures for the original music video.)
This is an underrated gem. It went out of it's way to give us an interesting multi-faceted villain without retreading old characters. Not only that, actually made an interesting NEW member of the gang. If there ever is a new film I need to hear her talk about her new "house". I want to hear they salvaged parts of the Franklin for the Enterprise repair, and that she can tell you where each bit is.
Jen to answer your final question, yes please. Add more reactions to the original series episodes to the playlist. 🙂
I'm so glad you've really been enjoying Star Trek, Jen, and there's still so much more. I especially have to agree with you that Karl Urban makes a great Bones. I think they did a great job with the casting in general for this version of the characters. Great reaction!!
A bittersweet watch, Jen, it's a great film, but we lost, Leonard Nimoy and Anton Yelchin. 💔
I would love to see watch your reaction to more of the original series, please.
Karl Urban is perfect as McCoy, and Krall is Idris Elba.
love your love for old and new trek. keep going with all of the shows, there is something to love in all of them. Regardless of what others might say or think.
Man, imagine being a highly decorated MACO like Edison and protecting the Earth through 2 wars (tho the Xindi war wasn't really a war in the classic sense, so i guess only one) only to be put on an outdated ship and be told to go explore lol.
i loved this film. Carl Urban played a fantastic Bones. Thought Jayla was amazing as well.
At the risk of being a nerd, nobody is sucked into space - they would actuslly be blown into space. Which, one must admit, would still suck.
6:01 Mark! Yeah! Okay! She's also in "The Expanse"! I prefer this character! 🖖
10:55 Mark! No, whatever it was, wasn't sucked out by an external source or force! It was blown out with the escaping air! 🤓🖖
Mandalorian reactions coming to RUclips…. YES PLEASE!😊
Leonard Nimoy gets credited as a "Prime" example in two different franchises! He also voiced the scientific Sleestak in Will Farrell's "Land of the Lost" movie! He narrated, and maybe hosted, the original "In Search Of..." and his successor here hosts the revival version. In the original series version of "Mission: Impossible" he was also a secret agent. He was a great person to meet and chat with! Including being with William Shatner. My favorite encounter was not at an autograph table or in a Q&A line, but when my best friend and I randomly encountered them, as we and they were just walking. I'm not sure if that was just the mingling part of "Supper with the Stars" or during the regular convention session or both? 🤔
I look forward now to viewing your video! 😊
The blue uniform suits you, Jen. 🖖 xxxxx
uniform is definitely cool. and your definitely rocking it 😍🖖🤓
Jen is definitely my kind of nerd. I love her work.
As always a great reaction from you. This isn't one of my favourite Star Trek films, but watching with you makes it much better.
Don't get me wrong Jen, the casting in the new fims was great. The first two they did i like a lot, just this a bit less.
Ehhhhhhh.... (shrug) I guess it's alright if you haven't seen and have no knowledge of the "Enterprise" Pre-Federation era of Star Trek before watching Beyond.
R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015) & Anton Yelchin (1989-2016)
Jen, it's been so fun watching you become a full-fledged Trekie.
I'm not a big trekie. Star Trek fans hate me because I love these JJ movies. This is my favorite Star Trek movie. Anton gets to shine and I love the Spock and Bones stuff. This one is lots of fun. Love your channel btw. Keep up the good work 👍
Trek fans are super loyal but finicky. I never got into TOS but loved the rest (not talking about Enterprise) 😂
@@MakotoAtava We are all aware it's Justin Lin, but the trilogy is clearly in the spirit of what JJ did with Trek.
This Trekkie does not. This is my favorite out of the JJ movies and probably top five of all the movies. Though I'll admit I love everything except for Discovery. Even Enterprise.
@@cypher515 I liked Enterprise more than anyone I've ever met.
@@cliffbeavers6158just a lot less lense flare. JJ uses lense flare like Snyder uses slow motion.
As a fan of the Enterprise tv show, I freaked out when they referenced things from that series. This and the previous movie dont get enough love......quite the opposite actually, but I find them so fun. A fourth movie would be great and it sounds like maybe it might be happening but its been so hard to get that project going from what I hear.
D'you know wasn't the biggest fan of this when it came out, but Love Star Trek and have now seen this 4 times and has got better, Slow Burn this one. Interested to see what Jen makes of it.
6:42 Mark! It is cool to see a full-sized starship launch like that rather tiny ones as seen in "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" and both versions of "Battlestar Galactica"! 🖖
Probably my three most favorite episode from TOS that you have not already watched are:
Gamesters of Triskelion: My favorite overacting by William Shatner
Day of the Dove: Has my favorite line in all of the shows and movies
Patterns of Force: A great commentary on the dangers of trying to use evil for good.
I think you will really enjoy those three. If you have already seen any of these, I missed it.
She's such a nerd, and I love it.
Jen is too freaking cute, especially when she’s humming the themes.
I saw the first movie with the Oregon symphony playing the scores. It was incredible. I love the music in both of these movies.
I know this was a while ago, but I just want to say, my Mom is a die-hard Trek fan, and watched the original series as it aired when she was in high school. And she's loved the reboots. They aren't trying to replace anything. Like most of Trek they're just adding more.
I also really like these, and especially love how good the casting was. (Spock has always been my favorite character in all of Trek, and I think Zachary Quinto really nailed the character.)
I'm glad Jen enjoyed them and is enjoying the rest of Star Trek.
Thanks jen. On kirk and spock as a great team . There is a deleted scene from the first movie 09 . Where kirk is speaking to spock prime about how they are not friends and hate each other. Shock says they will be friends and a great team , that they will have a famous partnership. Like lennon and Mccarthy ( the beatles) .
Brad Bird should direct the next movie
The incredibles guy? Why?
@@crankfastle8138
Because he did Tomorrowland
Brad Bird is a brilliant writer/director. I'd hire him to make any film he was passionate about.
7:52 Jen: "We need more Di-Lithium Crystals!"
I would most definitely watch a Star Trek movie with Jen Murray playing the captain of the Enterprise.
I wish!!!
Jen, you look quite fetching in that uniform, it suits you. I enjoyed this movie more than the second one it had the heart the second one was missing. However, I am a Trekkie through and through, and I love them all. Great reaction Jen!
Jen, as always, LOVE YOUR REACTION! And your hand movements on the ending of the StarTrek theme music is very mesmerizing! 😀😀😀
40:21 Mark! No, they aren't rebuilding the wrecked ship. They built a replacement ship. Knowing what I now know about the "Enterprise-D" I see no reason now to repair and/or rebuild the wrecked one, though. In the Prime Timeline, she exploded because of the self-destruct and then experienced atmospheric entry burning and then impacting on the planet's surface, and then the planet exploded! There's no coming back from that! 😮
I think watching Star Trek TOS would be fantastic...From," Where No Man Has Gone Before " ,to ," Turnabout Intruder".
Make some popcorn. :)
I've been watching Trek TOS since the early 70s in syndication as a kid after school, then later in the evenings after the local nightly news (it bounced around over the years). Even so, I enjoyed the 2009 Star Trek. I did not care for "Into Darkness" all that much, but I loved "Beyond". I really do want another movie with this cast. Just a shame that Anton is not with us - that was heartbreaking.
I happy when You Tubers show Star Trek wear the suit. I salute you.
🔔 👦 "HEY, YOU GOT JEN MURRAY IN MY STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES!" | 👩 "AND YOU GOT STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES IN MY JEN MURRAY!" | 🤦 "CALM DOWN, YOU TWO. IT'S OBVIOUS WHAT THE ANSWER TO THIS DILEMMA IS: JEN MURRAY HAS TO REACT TO THE REST OF STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES!" 🤗
43:51 Mark! 1.6K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 You're welcome, and thanks! ☺️
Notes: "Netflix" somehow got to show "Star Trek: Prodigy" and so I viewed it! I appreciate these three live-action movies now even more so after seeing that series made for children or young people. 🤔 By that I mean, that I'm disappointed that by the 24th Century in that series and the 23rd Century in this movie trilogy, that more relevance is given to Slanguage than proper grammar! 😳
Bless you Jen Murray for being not just pretty, but also smart and intelligent enough to understand this trilogy as well as the older shows and movies!
I'm 59 and I have no problems with the canon (not "cannon") status of them! "Apocrypha" is applied to non-canon stuff like fan-made productions. I can accept alternate timelines and realities and a Multiverse! It is easy for me because I accept the phenomenon known as "The Tommy Westphall Universe"! As anything goes in the imagination of an autistic boy! 🧐
Best line of the movie comes early on when Kirk is complaining about how routine everything has become, and says that "things have become...episodic." That was such a great call-back to TOS. The most heart-breaking moment of course was the reveal of the death of Ambassador Spock. Fans were still mourning the loss of Leonard Nimoy. It was a respectful tribute.
To answer your question at 16:42, YES!! ALL OF THE YES! Would love to see your Mandalorian reactions come to RUclips!
Great reaction and you look amazing in the uniform. I did grow up with the original and yes, I loved these ones also.
One of the great things about _Star Trek_ is that it reinvents itself for different generations. My mom was a fan of the Original Series, while I grew up with _The Next Generation._ Though the different groups of fans may squabble amongst themselves about the pros and cons of their eras, it is smart to never let the IP stagnate.
This is my favorite of the Kelvin timeline movies. It's sad that tragedy bookended the production of this film. Leonard Nimoy passed a little before production began, and only weeks before the release of the movie, Anton Yelchin died in a freak accident. If production of a fourth Kelvin _Trek_ ever gets off the ground, the writers must address the problem of Anton's Chekov. While there is no perfect solution, an in-universe explanation exists. They can say Chekov left the _Enterprise_ to serve aboard the _Reliant,_ just as the character did in _The Wrath of Khan._
Yer that would be a good nod to the ST-TOS movies ... I don't want a recast or an off-screen death.
Great reaction Jen as always, love the uniform and yes, i would watch your Mando reactions. 👍💯
Such of fan of how they altered the time-line with these movies.
26:37 Mark! It isn't a spoiler now to point out that this movie has those that played "Steve Trevor" & "Heimdall" & "Gamora" & Executioner" and the actor from "Third Watch" & "Heroes" who is also in a "Star Wars" movie! 🤔
4:45
yeah... uhmm.... trying to un-complicate the complicated here... Sulu's _daughter_ shows up in ST 7 at the the helm of the Enterprise-B, before the encounter with the Nexus.
that on-screen event then triggered a fan production called Star Trek Phase II to show an episode where then-Ensign Sulu is time-shifted in a transporter accident and fathers a daughter called Alara. That daughter is killed off, and Sulu is reverted to his younger self. George Takei guest stars as old man Sulu.
_off_ that plot point, years later we get another production set in the prime timeline where old Sulu (Takei) talks to his ST7-established daughter Demora about that Phase2-established daughter Alara, which we never saw.
since we never saw neither Demora's nor Alara's mother/s (tho they are mentioned in various books), and having Takei coming out as gay after the end of Star Trek, they decided to make _this_ Sulu (alternate) gay.
_this_ daughter we see here could either be Demora, OR Alara... fans widely consider her to be Demora since it's the one we've seen in the movie.
it's a retroactively-referenced spin-off reference.
bordering causality loop.
yeah.... Trek is full of those.
5:55
and that officer is Commodore (Admiral?) Paris, which is a reference to Tom Paris from Voyager.
this would be this timeline's great-grandmother to Tom, 100 years down the line.
her first name is never mentioned, but it would be cool if she was named Miral, after Tom's daughter, which would make her a retroactive reference to _this_ Miral, and ... you get the point.
Thanks for another great reaction, Jen!
The MACOs were first introduced on Star Ţrek: Enterprise during the Xindi War as Special Forces Officers who were posted onboard after a tragic event rocked the still-in-infancy 22nd Century Starfleet.
Anton did tragically die but in this film as he was playing Chekov he was suffering silently with cystic fibrosis.
Giacchino is one of the best composer sinds Williams / Goldsmith and Horner
Can't argue with this list. I also love Bill conti, michael kamen and Hans Zimmer.
"So much drama on this ship"
Yeah! You could even make a TV series out of it xDD
Love love love Star Trek!!!! Love them all!!!
The third, and hopefully the last, of the Kelvin Timeline films...
Hi Jen hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Thanks John you too!
17:15 Mark! Someone published a book, a wall poster, and maybe calendars, dedicated to the "History of Ships Named Enterprise" and in that spirit I share this article link with you! 🖖
en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=USS_Franklin&action=edit§ion=0
The three in the kelvin timeline this one is my favorite… I could feel your excitement when the beats and shouting dropped with the beastie boys lol
🤘
I'm glad you're so aware of the music of movies. Michael Giacchino is one of the best of the biz. He also did some music for the new Trek shows AND he directed a Short Trek called Ephraim and Dot on Paramount+ which is excellent.
This is my favorite of the trilogy. It really feels like classic Star Trek, in multiple ways, while being it's own thing. And all of the actors feel like they fully become the characters in this one. The fact that an actual Star Trek fan Directed this one is very obvious. I also loved all of the references to Star Trek: Enterprise, the most underrated of the classic Star Trek shows.
**Also Kirk learning, this early in his career that he doesn't want the Admiral position, that he's a captain that needs a ship. Instead of having to go through 4 whole movies to get there. Is awesome.**
This is my favourite of the reboot movies, purely because it seems to capture the relationship of the three more authentically.
Lmao when she said "HEART!" I thought of captain olanet lmao
6:35 Hey, there's the cute couple from earlier during Kirk's log, on the left! Never noticed them before now.
THRUSTERS ON FULL!! Some say this one is the weak one but I think it's THE PERFECT third episode! Kirk's monologue, Spocks monologue. The only thing I found weak is the "Weapon" and the motorcycle 🏍️ ride. Great Movie and Great Reaction!! Ohh Nice Uniform! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
On Leonard nimoys tombstone are words that Kirk said at spocks funeral in star trek 2.
So they used a song by the Beastie Boys that has a lyric referring to Mr. Spock, who did not exist at that time according to this timeline.
