Mar 21, 2018 at 22:48 comment added SQB But the question is not, "did you like the film or not and why?"; the question is, "why was the film received badly by the hard core fans?" which is not opinion based. It may receive opinion based answers, but the question itself does not solicit them.

Mar 21, 2018 at 10:35 comment added SQB Why is this closed as "opinion based"? The querant is not asking for our opinion, but rather for (as the answer shows) well documented responses by the audience.

shortened the existing question, and added final paragraph to avoid misunderstanding
Sep 16, 2016 at 15:37 comment added Lightness Races in Orbit @Woody: I should have said "would be offensive" :)
Sep 16, 2016 at 15:29 comment added Jackman @LightnessRacesinOrbit No, I never made any such assumption, and if you think I did I'm sorry that you feel offended. I never said ALL Trek fans ONLY hate it for that reason, just that there are those who do, so I'm asking for the details of THOSE grievances. I am well aware that there are some out there who think it was just 'a terrible film'.
Sep 16, 2016 at 12:35 comment added Lightness Races in Orbit @Woody: But "because it's a terrible film" is a huge reason of why people dislike it. Assuming that all Trek fans who hate the film only do so because it violates one or more of their sacred rules, and that such fans do not have sufficient intellectual capacity to form an actual opinion of their own that goes beyond a religious mantra, is pretty offensive to all those fans (myself included).
Sep 16, 2016 at 3:56 comment added Jackman @LightnessRacesinOrbit you are correct, saying 'because it's a terrible film' is not a valid answer. A valid answer would be one that includes specific aspects of the movie that are problematic in a Star Trek sense - either going against fundamental Star Trek principles, or contradicting canon in some way, etc.
Sep 15, 2016 at 23:27 comment added Lightness Races in Orbit Because it's a terrible film... Is that my subjective opinion? Well, of course it is. Why does anyone like or dislike any film? How is this question answerable, I wonder.
Aug 30, 2016 at 19:30 comment added Jackman @DCShannon see scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/108486/… - I'm basically asking the same thing

Aug 29, 2016 at 16:51 comment added user68762 They also have new generation cellphones in ItD :-) i know it supposedly sends data thru 'sub-space' so no delay, but it's still funny. Maybe cos we're total no0bs in Star Trek and watched it for the first time last week. We cried tears of mirth.

Aug 28, 2016 at 22:16 comment added DVK-on-Ahch-To @Quentin - not sure how it came off, but I most certainly tried to express that "bad" was my personal subjective opinion (but shared by others).
Aug 28, 2016 at 22:06 comment added Quentin @Woody — I don't understand how any of DVK's statements could be interpreted to suggest that it is "objectively a bad movie". As for "there is a notion out there" … there are lots of notions out there, but that doesn't mean they are majority opinions, even within a specific group. I would expect "True X fans should hate X 2" to be quite a common opinion among X fans who hated X 2 for any given value of X.

Aug 28, 2016 at 21:57 comment added Jackman @DVK-in-exile In any case there is a phenomenon of purists hating it, and that's what I'm asking about. I'm sure there are non-purists who hate it as well, just as there are a number of people who hate every movie
Aug 28, 2016 at 21:53 comment added DVK-on-Ahch-To @Woody - I'm gonna have to see actual survey that proves the bad opinions are "mainly" purists before conceding your assertion. My personal anecdotal experience (not just me but most of my peer cohort) is the opposite.
Aug 28, 2016 at 21:50 comment added DVK-on-Ahch-To You're making a set of assumptions here, not all of them right. E.g. I'm NOT a purist (I'm probably not even a "real" Trekkie, having never watched DS9 or most of TOS). Yet I found ItD to be an bad film - not as "Star Trek" but as a film in general, so the bad opinions don't necessarily get caused by "purism". Leaving that aside, your question is likely not answerable in the Stack Exchange format, as it is likely to solicit opinion more than verifiable answers.
