I will pay to see the sequel if at the end of this movie the timeline is restored, and they have New writers and a new director on the sequel and somehow have a cameo role for William Shatner as Captain Kirk.

I would see it if the Enterprise in the movie is the real movie enterprise from films 1-6 and not an abomination by a prequel star wars designer.

Or if the film fails return to the same Trek universe as before only go forward in time and have new actors, new characters. Show Them boldy going and exploring where no one has gone before, way into the future past the picard era. Why go backward instead of forward?

I have come to the conclusion prequels suck in general. I would have rather had a real star wars sequel trilogy rather than those dreadfull prequels we are forced to accept as canon.

In fact the only prequel that worked imho is the batman Begins and Dark Knight reboots.

I mean Bond was not a true prequel in Casino Royale despite being a fine action film in its own right, and Quantum of Solace was less than Satisfactory.

I have come to the conclusion to Enjoy the new JJ trek verse you have had to have no interest or knowledge of star trek or seen little or none of the older films or tv series. You have to pretend the other films and shows don't exist. I could not do that for bond and i cannot do that for star trek either.

Batman was easier because it returned the series to its noir crime fighter roots, and plus i was not a huge batman fan anyway.
