J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness

[Matt S]

Finally saw this one today...
I've never been a Trekkie... I've always been a Star Wars Fan... Just like J.J...
Now, the first Trek movie was a bit of a hit and miss for me, but Into Darkness, is definitely and amazing feat! Loved the story, the characters are more compelling, the effects are out of this world!! (No pun intended)
In any case, the action, the pace, dialogue and the story are simply put as perfect as a summer movie can get.

Cumberbatch did an amazing job, which adds a lot of layers to this movie. Pine and Quinto have an amazing chemistry, and I gotta say, this gives me high hopes for the upcoming Star Wars movies!

Loved it!


Since I've never been much of a Trek fan, I don't get the negativity... but as a movie, I think it's a great one... !

Awesome review from a non-Trekkie. Yeah, don't get the hate at all

I'm not a a Trekkie(er) and I enjoyed both the reboots.

I honestly don't get all the love. I just re-watched the 2009 movie and it is significantly better than this one. Am I a hater for wanting this movie to be as clever as the first one? I guess so.

I really want to see how people will look back on Into Darkness.

My feelings exactly. This one felt lime it was made for Star Wars fans more than Trek fans.

They wont. In a few years, All the A.D.D. people who are ranting about this piece of crap will have moved on to something else. Don't delude yourself into to thinking that this J.J. Trek will have any impact on Society like Real Trek did.

Trek nerds.

It'll have more of an impact on the later generation. So.

Since I won't be alive for future generations I don't really give a crap what it does in the future. I liked it in the present.

 

[Kuzeh]

Yes it is and it never gets better, watch some TJ Hooker, he gets to the point where he sounds like hes doing a funny job imitating himself at times. People may take it to another level, but theres reason for it.

Just a side note, that's gotta be the worst name for a character ever...
Specially if you live in San Diego...
Even as a kid I thought it sounded a bit weird, but as a grown up it's even worse!

Lol, had to read that over, I was like, "Why do San Diegoans not like Niltusk?"

We're past the point where a TV show or movie is going to inspire and impact a generation. Standard operating procedure for our current culture is to go online and be sarcastic and hypercritical, nitpicking everything to death. Passionate, unironic and sincere love of anything lasts about five posts and then the critics suck all the joy away.

 

[The Iron Koob]

Yeah the truth is, people are all about the next thing now. This series would have never had the same impact. Wait a few years and see how the Nolanites move on.

 

[CelticPredator]

They already have.

The fact that you know the difference between "Trekkie" and "Trekker" betrays you as a closet Trek fan!

I was so glad that Sulu finally got to be captain of his own ship the USS Excelsior in STVI. He played it great

I always found that a bit wierd though. Why Sulu? Wasn't he just a helmsman on the Enterprise? Why did he get promoted straight to the captaincy of a starship??

Because he was 3rd in line after Kirk and Spock. Seeing as both Captain Kirk and First Officer Spock were in the away team and off-ship, Sulu was promoted to acting Captain briefly.

No movie today is 100% original. It's a stolen idea of something that has already been done.

These two star trek films are fantastic!

Well I was basing on the 2009 film what I said about Pine. The only time his voice and movement called to mind Shatner was at the very end of that film. Perhaps theres more Shatnerisms in this film.

I agree with you about Action-man Spock. I hope to see more of his intellectual prowess in future. When they let him do that I think he will very much be the young Nimoy.

I thought Pine was great in the 2009 version. Watch him in the kobayashi maru scene. That is all Kirk. There are other moments that just feel like Shatner's Kirk to me.

I think Pine does about the best job of being a young kirk that anybody could do. Like has been said, I am happy that he did not try and do a flat out vocal impersonation of Shatner. That would have been almost comical.

I found that the 2009 version I had no problem buying that the crew were all younger versions of the characters they were playing.. Even Spock..

But in the new one, I just felt that since such little time was given to everyone that they seemed more like caricatures rather then actual characters. They sacrificed character for action. The only one that was really given anything to do was Spock and I thought they ruined him in this one.
