Star Trek Into Darkness

[giantsnyy]

Some asshat put some spoilers for the movie on another forum I go on, at least I assume they are, I can't see the movie for a few weeks and its eating away at me.

Is

Harrison, Khan?

Read Wikipedia's article, under the plot section if you want to know all of the details. Looks like he is.

Disappointing after all the "He's not Khan" nonsense

I was thinking man, because of what looks like a 5'olock shadow under its chin, but then I noticed boobs!!!

Lennon with boobs.

What was with the borgvoice bald dude!

Saw this last night, extremely action packed with the HUGE amount of lens flare I expected from Abrams :p. Benedict Cumberbatch was a terrific villain (and VERY well acted). I'd easily give Into Darkness a 9/10!

[Dashel]

I enjoyed it and definitely worth seeing in 3D (great use of atmospheric effects like dust motes and sparks etc). Its a good movie and one I would recommend, just not great Trek. The social commentary and physics were weak at best - but JJ admits that he isn't very smart. Thats ok though, this story is clearly more character driven and that is something he is good at. Cumberbatch and chemistry between the crew, if exaggerated, was good. (Including a certain baby mamma) The remainder after the reveal seemed more predictable and flat, but still entertaining. Pacing throughout was good.

I think I'm still the most disappointed in this new 'machine gun' phaser BS, especially on the ship to ship scale. It could have been more.

Didn't care much for the reversal either, as it highlights one of my annoyances - Quinto. He just doesn't deliver the understated machismo Nimoy infused into the character, let alone the reasoned, logical tones. Maybe I'm just biased against him being less Vulcan (yet somehow has all the usual tricks, though the neck pinch didn't seem very effective - maybe he moved that nerve cluster? ;) ).

Quinto plays Spock as someone who's repressing his emotions, while Nimoy played him as someone in control of them (a stoic).

[McCordRm]

I was thoroughly impressed with the movie.

It was predictable (somewhat) if you're familiar with the cannon lore, but at the

same time that's exactly what made it exciting for me.

The ONLY thing that disappointed me about the movie- as a HUGE fan of the original

Star Trek TV show- was:

I wanted either an end-credits scene with the Tribbles,

or I wanted to see them use the Tribbles as a weapon against Cumberbatch's ship. :)

[Dashel]

^ I agree McCord. After the teaser on Bing I was expecting more.

Zombie tribbles! :D

[theyarecomingforyou]

Quinto plays Spock as someone who's repressing his emotions, while Nimoy played him as someone in control of them.

This. The original film was set before the events of TOS, so it's perfectly reasonable to expect that Spock's control over his human side isn't as developed. Regardless, the alternate timeline means that the two characters cannot be compared, especially after the emotional pain caused by the destruction of Vulcan. Personally I think that Quinto is excellent as Spock. It's the new Sulu that I consider the biggest disappointment but not enough to annoy me.

It would have been nice but they couldn't very well do that without introducing the concept of Tribbles to a new audience. However, if the next film is going to focus on Klingons?as seems likely?then we could see them return in the next film. I think the cameo role they played was fine, as it's a nod to the original without simply copying everything.

[Hum]

Disappointing movie, after all the hype.

Rehashing old Star Trek plots wasn't what I expected.

[McCordRm]

SPOILER

OH, and I want my television show with this cast now. 5-year mission for the f_cking win!!!!

[Dashel]

Its a long shot but none of the cast are really too big for TV.

What exactly were you expecting there Hum?

We all knew what (and who) this movie was going to be. Its not like JJ is that clever, many of his surprises have been guessed early and denied.

[George P Global Moderator]

JJ didn't want to make it complicated or too trekkie because he wanted it to be able to target everyone. The fact those who don't know anything about trek can go in and enjoy this means he's done what he set out to do. He's said as much publically.

[Hum]

What exactly were you expecting there Hum?

Perhaps an original story ....

[DocM]

Just saw it and

Cumberbatch is GREAT, one evil SOB, the action is almost non-stop, Spock has a Hulk moment, and there's a potential spoiler every 5 minutes. Lots of references to TOS, earlier Trek movies etc., but often with an alt-timeline twist. Our group of 6 really enjoyed it.

F/X: fantastic!

[neuroticdave]

Just saw it, and I loved it. I say make a third one! But keep the original cast, and director.

[Kyang]

I heard that they warped form Qo'nos to Earth or something in a couple minutes? If that's true, is it too nerdy to care that the story sometimes breaks its own rules?

[Sandor]

:/

Rough approximation of my face as Abrams tries to suggest anyone can enter a warp core and survive more than a millisecond as even slightly legitimate in any Star Trek related show/movie.
