Besides, Did you ever think that maybe the whole tradition of making the TV shows into movies is getting to be a bad idea? I mean, TOS had something unique. Why re-make the show, when you can take that whole budget and make a big movie. Genius! It wasn't anything other than the chemestry of Kirk, Spock and McCoy - along with the diverse crew that supported them that made star trek. such a wonder and success.
Next Gen struck gold when it hit the same notes, only on a different level - but when they made the jump to films they tried to change around all the characters - and it destroyed 7 years of development... and 4 movies where they just couldn't get it right. FC was a fluke.
Now we get the interviews from Berman and Braga where they actually speak of Voyager and Enterprise being made with the hopes of going to films at they end of their run. So yes, why not just fuck all that off and make a film - not an empty idea of grand things to come, just because.
Besides, Ds9 is long overdue for a film. And the way things have gone, i honestly believe it can rescue trek the way TMP way back in the beginning.
If not - then fuck it all off and just let it die.
