J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Don't like how there's been hardly any clips or posters featuring Bones.

It goes Kirk, Spock & then McCoy

McCoy! Leonard H

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Huh? Haven't seen that. It's mostly been Uhura in most of the posters and pics i've seen

 

[Rorywan]

This new clip, when watched out of context, feels like a SNL skit.
Those skin tight costumes, the fake accents...

But I have faith, I know this will rock.

Spoilers have hit the net - movie premiered in AUS; saw one spoiler that I wish I hadn't ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[a-dev]

Let me guess. Regarding Cumberbatch's character.

Yup, and in fairness I sorta went looking for 'it' and goddamn, saw more than I should have

 

[Sachiel]

Is it really a spoiler or something people have already guess since this movie started filming? Wait... don't answer that. That could be a spoiler in itself.

Anyways, the black Dreadnought class starship shown in the trailer now has a name, the USS Vengeance (high res image).

So all this talk of "vengeance" by Harrison is just the name of his starship. It's like "Rosebud".

Spoiler

So he is Khan, then! They got some 'splainin to do. He doesn't look or sound ANYTHING like Ricardo Montalban....then again neither does Chris Pine look or sound anything like Shatner

Tell me about it....! Forget the fact that.....

Spoiler

he looks nothing like R.M, he acts NOTHING like the original character either. He's way too calm for starters.....the whole Khan thing is so played out in my mind already, but I am bummed out he's just not some normal dude with a serious frakking grudge. Going the Khan route is LAME. What surprises me the most if the fact they didn't try to cast a minority actor. Pine is different than Shat, but he's not that different. Uhura is still black and Sulu is still Asian - sure, he changed nationalities but you should cast talent first. But Pasty white dude Khan sounds pretty off

Spoiler

You're right, the fact he acts nothing like the original Khan is a more significant thing. His appearance and voice being different could actually be explained pretty easily in the Trek-verse but how do they explain a total personality change. I dunno..we'll see

He's the second character Hollywood has done this too, this summer. Ben Kingsley playing the Mandarin, when he's not close to Asian is insulting.

I just saw a re-designed Klingon and must say... No sir, I don't like it. https://www.aintitcool.com/node/62216

The last film worked under the pretense that this is all a butterfly effect beginning with the destruction of the Kelvin, but up to that point it was 'supposed to be' the same universe that led to TOS.

But there's no way the new Klingons adhere to that. I thought JJ was telling us the Klingons would be somewhere between TOS and the movie Klingons. That's not what I see.

 

[a-dev]

Yeah given that this is original TV show era, albeit in alternate universe, shouldn't the klingons look pretty much human at this point?

 

[Deckard]

It's the lack of facial hair that makes it look strange. The only Klingons I ever recall not having facial hair were women. Now if that's a Klingon woman, indeed they took the ugly thing to the next level. Otherwise yikes. If that on top of Slumberbunch being you know who is the case Spock really should have listened to Christopher Lloyd about messing with time travel.







For all the *****ing Spock did in the TOS McCoy would be dying again laughing knowing how badly he messed up the universe.
