I think a Voyager movie would be great if St XI hadn't been released. I agree with Jetfreak, making a Voy movie now would be even more confusing.
They should have made one a year or 2 after Nemisis.

I would agree, they should have followed on from Nemesis, rather than to go back in time, and change everything again. JJ didn't even have to use the Enterprise and co, he could have used a new vessel, and set it all in the 25th century. Obviously he had his reasons for doing what he did, and I can respect that, him doing a Trek movie in the 25th century, would have firstly limited him to do what he wanted, and secondly, he'd have really been doing it for Trek fans.

The whole point of XI was to reboot Trek, and get a whole new type of fan. My only annoyance at the movie (on the big scale), is how they've seemingly scaled their starships, having the Constitution larger than the Sovereign.


Saying that, I still believe they can continue the typical TNG storyline if they so wished. I however, wouldn't have it 'feature' the Enterprise, at least, not as the main ship, but would instead have something a little different. Maybe it could be a movie that is based around a small taskforce, that (at some point in the movie) finds itself at DS9. This would give us a chance to see a few familier faces, and would allow everyone something different (aside from your typical Trek storyline).

It should be after Nemesis, and the fall of the Romulan Empire (Destruction of Romulus) should be mentioned. In addition to that, some mention of the Jem Hadar and Cardassian Union should come to light. Maybe we'd even get to see that Jem Hadar (I forget his name, but the one who wasn't addicted to the white).

I live in hope. One thing is for sure though, in my eyes, there is nothing to base a Voyager movie on. There is nothing left. If they were to do a new Voyager movie, it would be a storyline from scratch, and to be quite frank, we don't need it.

What happens to all the super-advanced technology Voyager brings back?

Considering the following:
  • The Enterprise-E, the Federation flagship (although that concept has always confused me, as the Enterprise doesn't have a flag officer aboard most of the time), lacked any of the advanced technology wielded by post-Endgame Voyager, several years after Voyager's triumphantly stupid return
  • The Prime Directive / Temporal Prime Directive
We can tend to assume that the technology was locked away somewhere anologous to Area 51, to be podded and poked by scientists but never see the light of day... or, erm, space.

What effect does the destruction of the transwarp conduit system have on the Borg? (since they just show up again later anyway)
The Borg show up again? I can't recall anything involving the Borg happening after Voyager's last episode.

Anyway, considering the highly decentralised and adaptable nature of the Borg I doubt it will have a significant impact.

Ditto. 'Extensive' debriefing with Starfleet, no doubt.

None of the books are official canon, not even the technical manuals. Unlike Star Wars, there is no 'expanded universe' as such. Which is fortunate, as some of the Star Trek books are more outrageous than any of the drivel the SW EU has ever come up with.

EDIT - And I just realised this thread hasn't been touched since June. Necrotastic!

I don't really see how a movie could be made. Assuming most of the crew has gone separate ways, the plot would become pretty chaotic trying to follow even just a small handful of them.

ya i'd rather not have a voyager movie. I heard that the cast never really got along very well to so it would be hard to do one.

Default Re: Voyager movie

There is a novelization of the series that continues Voyager after the last episode. It is ok…a little weak, but not bad. I don’t think a movie would do very well. I think the direction the franchise has gone with the whole reboot in an alternate reality is doing well at the moment. NG beyond the gaming world or novelization on the big screen just isn’t doing well for the franchise among fans and moviegoers, so very much doubt Paramount is going to give a green light to any script suggestions to the Voyager series.
