Is Quentin Tarantino a bad choice to direct the next 'Star Trek' movie?
Quentin Tarantino will direct the next installment in the Star Trek franchise, and the choice has fans deeply divided. Tarantino has required an R rating, which would make it a first in Trek movie history. Some are psyched to see what the controversial director does with the Trek universe, but critics say it's a terrible choice. Star Trek is a philosophical story about a quest for a better world, and Tarantino will just trash it with violence and dysfunction. What do you think? 🚀🖖 🚀

Is Quentin Tarantino a bad choice to direct the next 'Star Trek' movie?
Some fans are excited to see what the director will do with the Star Trek universe, especially as he himself came up with the idea for a script and pitched it to J.J. Abrams.
While Tarantino has always come up with his own original films, many have wondered what he might do if he took the reins of an existing franchise.
Shatner. Travolta. Jackson. Thurman. Buscemi. Obscure music

Trek purists say the idea of Tarantino at the helm is completely contradictory to the whole concept of the series. Trek isn't about violence and war, and nobody wants to hear the N word in space.
No. ST needs to go back to the roots - peaceful explorations and such. Like in TNG. Stop making trek about combat and wars. It was never about it.

Looks like Quentin Tarantino's idea for an R-rated Star Trek is a go. I doubt it will work. These guys have been clean-cut dorks for 50 years. I can't picture them saying, "Beam me up, motherf*****!"

OMG... Quentin Tarantino is the anti-Roddenberry! What are they thinking??? We love Star Trek because it shows a future human world that's better than ours currently is. Tarantino is a master at portraying dysfunction.
