The first Star Trek movie that I watch is Star Trek 2009 which is directed by J.J Abrams. It really surprise me alot. I really enjoy the film and it is really great movie. Then last year I watch Star Trek Into Darkness, sure it is not same level in terms of quality compare to Star Trek 2009 but it still very fun ride and good movie that I can enjoy watching. I know die hard Star Trek fans really hate Star Trek Into Darkness (well I respect your opinion).
Recently It is announce that the director that in my opinion did a good job in Star Trek movie franchise, J.J Abrams decide to leave the franchise because he will joining another Sci-fi movie franchise , Star Wars. This makes movie audience curious who will replace J.J Abrams to direct Star Trek 3
It is officially announce that Roberto Orci will be director to direct Star Trek 3. (source: (source: http://variety.com/2014/film/news/roberto-orci-to-direct-star-trek-3-1201180140/) For me, this is really stupid decision. The reason is Roberto Orci never direct any small movies but now his first directorial debut is big summer blockbuster movie.
Sure he know Star Trek franchise because he is the screenwriter, but that doesn't make you qualify to be director. Directing a movie and Writing a script is two different things. For example David S Goyer is very good screenwriter for example he write Blade 2 but he is not very good director example he direct Blade 3 and that movie is terrible.
Another example is a very great cinematographer, Wally Pfister (cinematographer of Inception, The Dark Knight) recently makes his first directorial debut as director in Transcendence and that movie is horrible and terrible. Director is very difficult jobs and this is why it is difficult to be a great director which constantly makes a good movie
Now I will list my top 5 director who is much better choice to direct Star Trek 3
1)Guilermo Del Toro
He is well respected director. He have done many great and awesome movies. Some of the film he directed is Pacific Rim, Hellboy, Blade 2 . This is very good track record if you ask me. He will be great choice to direct Star Trek 3
2)Joss Whedon
He is another well respected director. Right now I consider him as George Lucas and Steven Spielberg of this generation (yeah sure I might be bias on this but I really like him as director). Among great film he has directed is The Avengers and Serenity. This makes him perfect candidate and much better choice to direct Star Trek 3
3)Alfonso Cuarón
Many might not recognise him but he has done a few good movies as a director. Among the movies he has directed is Gravity and Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban. If you ask me, he definitely can make an awesome Star Trek movie
4)Neill Blompkamp
He is only directed a few movies compare to other director that I mention, but he got potential to be on the same level to be high profile director and all he need to is big blockbuster movie to prove it. He is director of District 9 (which not many people watch it but it is surprisingly good movie). So in my opinion, he must be given opportunity to direct big blockbuster movie to prove to the world that he is talented director and in my opinion, Star Trek is great franchise for him to show that
5)Matt Reeves
He is very talented director. His new projects is upcoming Dawn of the Planet of the Apes which judging by trailer looks absolutely fantastic and awesome (I really excited about that movie). Among his previous works is he is director of Cloverfield which surprisingly good movie in my opinion. So he is perfect choice to direct Star Trek 3
This is just my opinion, you might disagree with me and I respect that. I might be wrong and Roberto Orci might prove to me that he can make Star Trek 3 awesome but so far I still believe he is wrong choice and many director in hollywood which is far better choice. Right now, all we can do is wait until Star Trek 3 hits cinema.
