New Star Trek film criticised for being sexed-up

Image...
The makers of the new Star Trek film have been accused of "sexing-up" the franchise. The criticism comes as a result of the trailer showing punch-ups, stripping and Captain Kirk in bed with a woman.

The trailer for the film was released this week.

    I can't ever imagine Star Trek as even remotely sexy, those spandex suits did nothing but make me feel a bit sick.

    For some reason I have images of Spock saying "Sex me up Scotty!"

    Well they did try to sex up Enterprise(Enterprise was a complete failure IMO).

    What are they talking about, the original Star Trek was all about sex. James Kirk's penis should have been labeled a biological disaster with all the alien STD's he had. And did we forget about the uniforms? It was the next generation that made everything more professional and prude. The prequel film to the original series has to sexed up because everyone in that show was having sex.

    And if you're into cyber punk, the borg queen from Star Trek First Contact......ok, she might be a bit of a stretch but you get my drift.

    Why won't they let Star Trek die?

    I hope the movie is better. Didn't think much of the video. I used to like the original Star Trek, but thought less of the follow ups. If they want it to work, it will have to be good; they've got Star Wars to contend with & even that's old. But I wish them luck.

    Original Trek was full of sex. Kirk slept with every female he encountered... but the new trailer still makes NO sense whatsoever.

    I for one am glad that they sexed it up. And made it at least GRITTY. The future is not clean and my GOD I hope there is still sex in 300 years!

    Everything depends on sex to move forward, to go where no man has gone before...

    PornStar Trek. The 'Next Generation' of ST films.
    STD actually stands for Star Trek Diseases.
    Kirk was sexy manwhore and anyone who doesn't know that doesn't watch it.
    But it should be the Shatnerizor not some young pretender.
    You know he'd pull it off.

    God damn remakes.

    Kirk was a the original interstellar "Playa from the Himalaya's". He had all types of alien tail; red, green, blue, pluto poom poom.............

    LOL, I think the problem is going to be a couple of "wannabe's" that will not be able to live up to William Shattner and Leonard Nemoy! Nobody can pull that off, sorry.

    OMG! You guys just don't know! Star Trek was always sexual! Have you ever seen some of the girls on that show? With regards to Kirk and his time, Kirk was always having sex with these alien women!

    What would an action-adventure movie be without a love subplot? Had interracial relationships been more popular back in the 60's, Kirk would have been all over Uhura. Why not now? Would you prefer Kirk chasing after a fine Romulan lady? I don't think Romulan-Human relationships are popular in this present time.
