Star Trek - Into Darkness

[BlazeES]

Went and saw it last night.
4K digital projection system - no 3D.
Looked awesome.
Sounded awesome.
Further character development was excellent.
Plenty of action.
Thoroughly enjoyed it!


Anyone that is a die-hard fan of the original TV show and doesn't get where this franchise reboot is going & why - - shouldn't bother with seeing this; much less complain about how it sucks.
Much like what they did with the three, recent Batman movies...this Star Trek reboot is ALL ABOUT not retelling the same old stories in a predictable way..

Hmm one of my buddies downloaded the Camcorder Version of it and watched it last weekend. I'll have to borrow it and watch it sometime.

So how did Mr. Scott get to the far side of Jupiter in a shuttle craft with no warp? The warp capability came in "ST Nex Generation"

I was never a fan of Star Trek. My old man used to watch TNG and DS9 like mad.... Never really enjoyed any of the movies either. The one that came out a couple years back I thought was awesome, looking forward to seeing this one.

I liked the TV series and all of the movies with the original cast

Nerdgasm.

I was in complete Trekkie heaven. The old lady and I watched this over the weekend. I thought that them bringing back Khan would have screwed up the movie, but Abrams made it work.

I saw the new Trek movie last night, and was insulted at how the movie recycles old themes (I know, a Trek tradition) but recycles them in bizarre ways:

Vulcan destroyed
Spock yelling "Khannnnnnnnnnnnnn!"
Kirk (for a change) nuked in the reactor, and doing the hand thing with Spock thru the glass
Khan showing up before his first dust-up with Kirk in the original series
Spock having a video conference with his much-older self (how?!)

Lame and wrong, all of it, and the great visuals do not fully compensate. It's sad to see a parody done straight.

It could not have been any worse if they had trotted out Admiral Wesley Crusher...

I'm with you man; figured it would be hard to redo what Ricardo pulled off in spades (way back when..) but the Abrams adaptation worked in my book & Benedict played the role convincingly.

good movie, but i had a couple of issues like the Romulan's who have cloaking technology yet they deploy their troopers on a rope, and the corrugated aluminum grain silos on the engineering deck of the Enterprise.

How about we have some original movies rather than all these reboots and remakes?

All the good stuff in recent years has been on television IMHO.

As I've been saying for a few years now, Hollywood has been scraping the bottom of the barrel so long, that they've gone through the bottom, through the floor underneath, and are now well into the sub-basements...
