Star Trek Into Darkness (Page 4 of 15)

Hey Doc,
I had a thought. Maybe its supposed to be some kind of dissonant sound that fills the audience with a sense of danger or dread. I mean, it is a very dissonant sound.

You know, they could be rehashing the Enterprise decon chamber:

Then, Benny is diagnosed with a strange disease that makes him completely crazy, he breaks out of quarantine and begins infecting the crew until they are all zombies (or at least the Red Shirts are), save for Kirk, Spock, Bones and Uhura, who are forced to crash the ship in to the oceans because zombies can't swim

Edit: Fixed links and also
Red Shirt Zombies!

Hey, so good news. According to a journalist who was shown that scene while visiting Bad Robot, that picture of Cumberbatch in the brig does NOT involve him getting caught as part of his plan. So you don't have to worry about that.

That made me smile.

I saw the 9 minute Prologue today in front of The Hobbit IMAX, and the lens flares are still there on the bridge. Kirk does an Indiana Jones getting chased by natives with spears.

I'm rather amused by the skepticism about this film. It seems that most people are in a wait and see mode than an excited mode.

I get that the first film was not everyone's cup of Earl Grey, but I mean, wow...not sure what to make of it all.

I'm sympathetic to the 'This is not what Star Trek is supposed to be' critique. (At least some) ideas and science, not just running, punch ups, and 'splosions. The reboot just reverts to the standard schlock template.

Maybe
(Great, now I'm skeptical)

Someday I will post my full review and analysis but the new Trek never struck me as the same schlock. But, that is me, and I take a different look at a lot of things. I pay attention to weird details that people don't but and things like that ( a quirky for instance was I always liked R5-D4 from Star Wars more than R2-D2).
But, I think there is a lot more depth to Star Trek (2009) and will be more depth to Into Darkness that is often given credit for.

Necroing this thread a little to let people know that the prequel comic to this movie will has been released.
The authors conducted an interview with Startrek.com

I know much grief was given to the first movie for having a prequel and expecting people to read that before watching the movie. So, while there are mixed feelings, I at least want people to be aware.

I am with you, Greg. I just found it at a book store and read through it. It had a very different feel than the other, "Continuing Adventure" comics that have been coming out recently. Not sure how all the pieces are going to fit together in this one.

I haven't look recently but will check it out after this post-is your podcast going to discuss the new comics?

Drew Struzan draws a great lens flare.

A little bit of an interesting tidbit at an awards show:

For those perhaps unfamiliar, there has been much of a snit of Benedict playing Khan, thus rehashing Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan and bringing back a classic villain. However, Alice Eve flatly says "He's not Khan."
Make of it what you will, Trek fans, but I am getting excited again. It is an amazing feat that Abrams has managed to keep a lid on who the villain is despite the Internet age.

I don't think he is Gary Mitchell. The current IDW comics are canon, according to Roberto Orci, and the Mitchell story has already happened. The comics bridge the gap between the films, so if it is true, Cumberbatch is playing someone else. Either way, we'll find out soon enough.
