Re: Star Trek Into Darkness
It's weird to say, but I have absolutely no feelings about this movie at all. I'll go see it, but I just have no feelings about it. It's looks like it will be a thing...so...okay.
It's hard to describe.

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness
I'm pretty psyched. As someone who is in no way a Star Trek fan, I have enough distance that I can get excited for this movie without all the "THIS ISN'T RODDENBERRY'S VISION!!!!!!" whining.

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness
I've watched this trailer somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty times today. I am VERY excited for this movie. I have certain apprehensions about some of the things they're showing, but mostly I'm just stoked. I love the first Abrams Trek to pieces, so a second helping unencumbered by the prequel/reboot plot gymnastics of last time, and enCumberbatched, villain-wise, is just such an exciting prospect.
I just hope they don't push the whole "Into Darkness" thing too far. There aren't enough fun movies anymore. Especially action and sci-fi.

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness
...I need to make a modification to my last statement.... BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH EVERYWHERE!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS!!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
I think I figured out what happened here. All of my love that would have been going towards Into Darkness, instead got directly funneled into the sheer epicness that is the Cumberbatch and there was none left for the movie. It makes so much sense!

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness
I don't get hyped any more. I do want to see Star Step Into Christmas or whatever it's called but I'll see it when I see it. The Hobbit is not my thing so I'm really not in a rush to see that

It kind of blows, but it also kind of doesn't.

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness
I have no idea what's going on here.
Star Trek 2 has a confusing fucking trailer.
Who's the guy with no eyebrows, and why is Star Trek also a kung fu film?

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness
Its just fundamentally not what I want out of a Star Trek film. One of the only mainstream franchises that bothered to have interesting science fiction ideas and not be just a blow-them-all-up action film, and they've turned it into a blow-them-all-up action film.
It looks cool and really flashy, and I'm sure I'll enjoy it a lot (assuming it isn't riddled with stupid shit like the last one), but it just seems like a bit of wasted potential.
It's tough though, cause I suspect I just instinctively have trouble accepting a young cast. The thing I always loved about Star Trek was the idea of these old-age professionals out of their prime dealing with dangerous situations and having to count on their experience and gut instinct to survive. Same reason I love the Battlestar reboot. When it's a bunch of cocky teenagers, it's a lot harder to root for them.

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness
It's certainly a teaser! I'm quite impressed that they managed to show me all this footage and restrain themselves from revealing any of the story (I've not read anything about it so can't also put it into any context).
I have no feelings about it at the moment, it does look quite action-y, but no doubt I'll be there in line when it gets released.

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness
I love Trek and thought the '09 movie is one of the best of the series so have very high hopes for this

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness
It's the movie singularity. Given long enough, every franchise ends up converging to the same 'plosions, chas'n with guns, WWF punch-up, action schlockfests template.
not long to go now...

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness
I really liked the last one, but this looks so blue and dark and angsty (with big angry action), which is not what I want from these new Star Trek movies.
Don't give me a dark middle chapter type movie, give me a big goofy fun movie with some interesting underlying ideas. The last one was just fun to watch, and there's nothing here that looks fun.

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness
Didn't we just have a whole Star Trek movie about some dude trying to wreak havoc in the name of vengeance? WHY NOT MAKE THEM STEAL A WHALE, JJ ABRAMS?

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness
I can't wait for the scene where Cumberbatch's character gets captured and held captive on the Enterprise, but it was actually part of his plan all along!
