I recently heard someone say that a movie spin-off or continuation of a TV show never works. It works as a bit of nostalgia maybe, but it’s usually a bad film. So, is it true?
Specifically I’m thinking movies that are set in the same universe or canon as the TV series that came before it. So something like Mission Impossible wouldn’t count since the show and the films are different universes.
Also sometimes a film comes out during a TV series run, that’s fine, it doesn’t need to be after the series is over. I can also think of at least one example of a film kicking off a TV series, so that counts too.
(Also if there are absolutely terrible ones, let’s talk about those too.)


yes the old trek movies, even if the movies were bad it gives some closure continuation of the series which it came from.
NUTREK however isnt good in anyway.
The Kelvin timeline has some moments, but I agree that overall they don’t hold up. I gave them all a rewatch last year and apart from spectacle, there isn’t much there.
pretty cringe, even if STO is off canon it has a better stories than nutrek lol.
