'Star Trek: First Contact' Co-Writer Ron Moore Recalls Story Clash With Patrick Stewart It features a CG animation so impressive that Paramount Pictures CEO Brian Robbins - who bought the show as president of the aforementioned cable network - wishes it were launching in theaters.

The animated series was originally developed for Nickelodeon and targets kids ages 6 to 11. Trek never gave me that,” Kurtzman told The Hollywood Reporter in early 2019, when he first revealed plans for what would become Star Trek: Prodigy. “I go back to my childhood and Luke Skywalker, the farm boy who looks out at the twin suns of Tatooine and imagines his future.
The captain of the Star Trek franchise - who inked a new, nine-figure deal with IP owner CBS Studios in August - has for years wanted to boldly go where Star Wars has gone before: to reach younger kids.
#THE PRODIGY FILM MOVIE#
Even though I wasnâ(TM)t excited for this movie in any way, I was still disappointed.Alex Kurtzman hasn’t written a Star Trekfeature film since 2013, but his new animated kids- and family-focused series, Prodigy - his fifth show in the Paramount+ version of the beloved franchise - could be the ticket that gets him back to the box office. The Prodigy may please some viewers, but I found it to be a waste of potential and mean-spirited from start to finish. This movie was like watching a superhero film where the hero of the story tells you everything they can do, but never showcases much of that power. This is the worst kind of film to watch because itâ(TM)s not terrible by any means, but it doesnâ(TM)t fully embrace its premise.
In the end, The Prodigy is a horror film that benefits from a few great jump-scares that had me jumping out of my seat and some very devoted performances, but the movie truly does unravel by the time the credits roll. Itâ(TM)s like a unique idea was building to something cool, but ultimately takes a super easy route out of the story and the fact that itâ(TM)s a child playing this certain role was slightly disturbing (in a bad way). To even get into it would be a spoiler, but it felt like the climax to a completely different film and it felt mean-spirited to me. The third act, however, is one of the dumbest conclusions to a film Iâ(TM)ve seen a while. With a solid cast including Taylor Schilling, Colm Feore, and young Jackson Robert Scott, theyâ(TM)re able to sell this material and make it very believable.
Sadly, thatâ(TM)s where most of my praise ends. Itâ(TM)s a little silly an overly convoluted, but it worked in the context of the film.
Without ruining what powers are really at work here, Iâ(TM)ll just say the twist of this story had me hooked. When mysterious things begin to occur due to his behaviour, religious beliefs and myths come to light and this film becomes incredibly intriguing. After just months of being born, Miles shows signs of being a genius, hence the title, The Prodigy. The Prodigy is a middle of the road experience at best, but there is some good in it.Īfter failing to conceive a child for many years, a couple gains the happiness theyâ(TM)ve been seeking when it finally becomes possible. I canâ(TM)t get myself to recommend this movie, but I also donâ(TM)t feel the need to rip it apart either. With that said, this is the definition of a film that has a lot of promising elements, but ultimately fails to capitalize on them. The Prodigy wasnâ(TM)t ever going to be the best horror film to come along in decades or anything like that, so I had no expectations when going into this one. It takes a lot for a horror film to impress me, as the genre has become somewhat of the butt of many jokes these days. Iâ(TM)ve never been a huge fan of the horror genre, aside from a few gems that stand out to me.
