J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness

[Bardoon]

Not a huge Trek fan but that looks amazing!!!!

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

That is a grail for sure, looks fantastic

 

[Viking Spawn]

Indeed a grail item! Very impressive!

Thanks guys this was my first piece that got me hooked on collecting. Master Replicas made some really great stuff I was sad to see them go.

My problem with the Klingons is there's no explanation for their change.

The UFP were reacting to the destruction of the Kelvin by the Romulans, prompting them to be more aggressive with Starship design and R&D.

The Klingons did capture Neo and his crew, so I would think they also captured the Narada and must've studied it (it was never quite clear on what happened to the Narada), adapting their starships with future technology.

The reason for the helmets on 2009 Trek was to not unveil what the Klingons look like so early on and leave that to a future film. Here on Into Darkness I think the Klingons either are prison guards and are required to wear helmets or they're covering up the shame of using the augment DNA and no longer having forehead ridges in this time frame.

Personally, I love that the helmets are used to cover up the fact that they should look like TOS Klingons, remember, the show Enterprise is still cannon in the Abramsverse.

Funny, the NX01 Enterprise Era Klingon BOP design still looks better then what we think JJ has chosen as his interpretation of a Klingon BOP.

 

[JonWes]

Judging by the Lego toys, I wouldn't be surprised if the BOP in the JJverse movie isn't more like a small fighter craft and not the larger vessel we're more familiar with. So it doesn't bother me so much that it's not like the older one. They want the D7 to be the star, clearly, and that's more TOS. A new BOP could be introduced later.

So does the NX01 era BOP inspired Raptor Class:

I personally love the cable tension struts of this era of Klingon starships.

Awww, we need some new info on this movie!

 

[screamingmetal]

The latest on the movie is that 38 minutes was screened in Brazil and the order of things that was seen in the 9 minute preview has been changed a bit. And some major spoilers:

Spoiler

From AICN:
"Peter Weller plays Admiral Marcus, the father of Carol Marcus.

There are some other interesting details in TrekMovie's reading of the report out of Sao Paulo...

1) The order of sequences at the beginning of STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS has been changed. If you saw the IMAX preview, the film opened at the hospital with the introduction of John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch), followed by the Nibiru Volcano sequence (concluding with Spock about to be consumed by lava). This has now been flipped: the movie opens with the Nibiru sequence, title card, then the hospital.

2) On Nibiru, Kirk has a choice to make: violate the Prime Directive by surfacing the submerged Enterprise in order to save Spock, or stay submerged and let the Vulcan die. Of course he violates the Prime Directive, and of course...

3) ... he is demoted by Pike, who would like to send Kirk back to the Academy. Admiral Marcus either convinces or orders Pike to retain Kirk, so Pike takes command of the Enterprise with Kirk as his first officer. Spock is moved to another ship.

4) Pike is injured during an attack on an emergency meeting of Starfleet (which follows the attack on London).

5) Spock at one point orders an evacuation of a crippled Enterprise as it plummets to Earth.

6) There's also a foot chase between Spock and Harrison in San Francisco. Eventually, they fight.

7) And, not for nothing, there's a scene where Kirk and Spock are in Engineering struggling to stabilize the ship."

STAR TREK 2 INTO DARKNESS Trailer | Collider

[ame=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxZcxkFZZP0]Star Trek Into Darkness - NEW (Teaser) Trailer #2 [HD 1080p] - YouTube[/ame]

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Looks Awwwwesome.

They copied that kirk flying in Space bit from Dead Space 2

 

[Deckard]

Looks nothing like Star Trek, got a bad feeling it will be another 5 mins tops on the Enterprise. This looks more like a Dead Space movie without Necros.

Looks Awwwwesome.

They copied that Space flying bit from Dead Space 2

Exactly. Way more space suits in the preview than Starfleet uniforms, Kirk flying some shuttle like it's the Millenium Falcon. Meh. I got a Star Wars, Tron, and DS vibe but no Trek.

 

[a-dev]

Yeah with that teaser it looks like Star Trek being very much afraid to be Star Trek - or at least they are afraid to make it seem like Star Trek in these trailers. Even Kirk's line 'punch it' is a Han Solo/ Lando Calrissian line for the Falcon going into hyperspace.

Not writing it off, just saying.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

The MF 'fitting' was too obvious.

This isn't just a Trek for us Trek fans, it's more like they're somewhat reimagining Star Trek for the 'nothing but action matters' kids of today.

 

[Kamandi]

Star Trek in it's efforts to be 'smarter' scifi than SW had become very preachy. Now they've gone to the opposite extreme where it has nothing to say but has tons of action.
