Everyone is talking about Star Trek again. Unfortunately, they speak in the context of the franchise company that is dead.
If you want to blame someone for his death, you should probably put it on Alex Kurtzman. He has been responsible for the franchise since 2009 Star Trek. He is also the producer of newly published Paramount+ Star Trek: Section 31Such a bad film that is so bad that 58% of the Star Trek fans who reacted to our survey voted that Paramount deleted the film from the Internet.
So what happened? What does Alex Kurtzman have to say for himself? In short, his answer is: Star Trek is a safe space, so it’s okay to make a terrible film.
Is my sum an exaggeration? Here is the exact quote from his interview with Trekmovie, in which they asked him what he asked about the fans who would worry about section 31.
“I think you have more Star Trek because you somehow feel as if you don’t fit it, right? And Star Trek becomes a safe place that tells you that it is okay to be different. It’s okay to be an outsider. And that’s a film about outsiders, isn’t it? “
After this terrible quote, he started a strict word salad over “protection of our freedom” and then sank even deeper. He tried to argue that the best way to protect Gene Roddenberry’s dream of a brilliant future is to make films about terrible people who do terrible things.
Here is Kurtzman:
“Ultimately, I have the feeling that we say that so that the star fleet and this beautiful vision that Roddenberry had from this optimistic utopia so that this vision exists so that the light exists, they need people who need people, people Need, people need to work in the shade. And it’s a yin and yang. You can not have anyone without the other. “
In Alex Kurtman’s head there is no bright and happy future for humanity because they can only have one if it is balanced by something terrible. Gene Roddenberry’s dream cannot exist in Alex Kurtzmans Star Trek.
He then tried to paper his failures by wrapping himself into the LGBTQ+ conography and said about his terrible film: “And in this way I think it is just another color in the rainbow of Star Trek.”
In my 0-star rating from Star Trek: Section 31, I asked if it was possible that a film was fundamentally evil. Now Star Trek fans have an answer. If you are looking for evil, you will not continue to look for Alex Kurtzman.
