For the longest time, Star Trek existed as a low-budget TV show. Next to sci-fi blockbusters like Star Wars, Star Trek always seemed cheaper and dare we say, kinda lame. But all of that changed in 2009. Director JJ Abrams completely overhauled Star Trek’s visual style for his reboot of the mythos. Though Abrams is no longer involved in the Star Trek mythos, modern Star Trek generally took his style to heart. But in being so determined to make Star Trek look “cinematic”, has Star Trek missed the forest for the trees somehow? And what does “cinematic” even mean anyway?
