Hello kiddies!!
No, I did not die, but it almost feels like I did.
Sorry i have not been able to post anything these past two months, but for us poor mortals who need to work in order to pay bills, this season is one of the busiest, specially for those who work in retail (ahem, like i do). So, if you also work retail, or have ever been tortured to do so (at some point in your life), i basically do not have a life. I sold my soul to the Retail God, and as of late, I've been non existant.
Any ways, so today I had the energy to post, so here we go!!
For those who have not noticed this year has been our year, since sci-fi, comics based, fantasy, etc genres have been dominating the big screen, and to that I say, it's about time!! So, not only has our community been anxiously waiting for The Force Awakens, but just today, Team Roddenberry released the trailer for Star Trek Beyond.
And to tell you the truth, I'm pretty psyched about it!
Not only are we being introduced to new alien races, but from what I was able to tell from the trailer, this new installment holds up to the legacy that was left by Gene Roddenberry. Yes, I know that there is still controversy from Geeks to which one is better, Star Wars or Trek, but honestly, I like both! (although, I will lean more towards Trek, because there is a sentiment behind it) But, we're not here to discuss the dilemma, we're here to discuss the trailer. Yes, many die hard Trekkies/Trekkers were disappointed with the reboots first two installments, stating that it didn't hold to Gene's vision, which first and foremost is a more ethical/philosophical/exploration t.v. show, which many argued had lost that aspect to the more space adventure-y formula. But honestly, I had no problem with it because at the core of both reboots, there is still the ethical/philosophical films that many Trekkies grew to love. In my humble opinion, Mr. Roddenberry's legacy still lives on with the Star Trek franchise.
Additionally, I enjoyed seeing Uhura, Scotty and Bones having a lot more screen time in this new trailer and also because it seems like the intrepid crew has been exploring (from last time we saw them, battling Khan) and they have discovered new life forms/spieces.
Anyways, I leave you guys with the link to the trailer for your viewing enjoyment:

And also in other Trekkie news, it was announced in November that there is a new Star Trek t.v. show in development, that will have nothing to do with the film franchise, but will focus on what Star Trek has always meant to be, on the small screen.
And talking about sequels/reboots (because it has also been the year of reboots/sequels), the new trailer for Indepence Day: Resurgence came out as well, and from what I gathered, it does not look at all that bad. Looks like they have taken their time, effort to make a really good reboot/sequel.
