Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Of the two Star Trek reboot options, J.J. Abrams' Kelvin timeline was a better option than Erik Jendresen's Starfleet war movie. In 2006, following the cancelation of Star Trek: Enterprise, and the poor box office performance of Star Trek: Nemesis, Paramount were keen to revive the franchise's fortunes in movie theaters.
Star Trek: The Beginning Was A Gritty Reboot Like Batman Begins Erik Jendresen submitted the first draft of Star Trek: The Beginning in August 2006, so it's interesting to look at the script in terms of the wider pop culture context. A year previously, Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins had been released in theaters to widespread acclaim. Nolan's grittier Batman movies led to a raft of similarly gritty reboots of old franchises that had previously become too outlandish.
The violence in The Beginning is also more gruesome than audiences would probably expect from a Star Trek movie. For example, one of the lead characters, Jaxx sustains serious injuries in the movie's climax, with the directions explaining that "his left arm and leg gone ". While coarse language and violence are expected in a war movie, it's interesting to ponder how audiences would react to it in a Star Trek movie.
