Re: Star Trek Into Darkness

Interestingly enough, while objectively its worse, given the option I'd actually re-watch Into Darkness before Trek 09. Despite all the things that make it a bad movie, I think its pretty watchable on an action movie level, to where if it was on cable, I'd probably watch it, whereas Trek 09 is more competent but pretty dull and forgettable to me (that one has 1-2 good set-pieces, this one has like 4-5).

Also, to say something positive for a change, I think Quinto absolutely nails Spock this time out, all his dialogue and deliveries are great in this one.

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness

Watched it and I guess it was okay-ish. I might have been more disappointed if it hadn't been exactly what I was expecting to be.

I very much prefer the previous one and still think Star Trek belongs on TV, but if this is what I get, this will have to do.

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness

I enjoyed it fine as a movie, completely separated from what makes Satr Trek worthy of its fandom.  That said, I lament the wasted opportunities they could have told.  It's my similar gripe with the last three bond films.  The end of Skyfall basically establishes, "OK, THIS is the Bond you've been waiting for."  It just took three movies to get there.  By the end of ST:ID, we've finally moved the characters into a place were they had grown enough to be worthy of the legacy.  I thought we had done that at the end of the last movie.  So while it was fine as a movie, I just am getting a bit tired of waiting or them to be these characters.

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness

You're all wrong, it is the fact that there isn't really a 'What's Wrong With This Picture?' sign on the Enterprise wall.

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness

will be seeing this today in 2D.  IF Abrams didn't want it shot in 3D, it wasn't intended for 3D.  Also, after feeling "meh" about Iron Man 3, I don't have very high hopes for movies this summer.

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness

Saw it today.  I enjoyed it.  Sure it has a great deal of story that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it was fun.  I'd say more fun than Iron Man 3 was.  I'll be seeing this one again. smile

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness

Ann Coulter has passed the point where you can write satire about her. It just sounds too realistic now.
