Star Trek Into Darkness

Agreed... definitely worth seeing... for the special effects if nothing else.

I was waiting for your review Krissy.

I was waiting for your review Krissy.

LoL... Well, now I feel like I have a reputation to uphold.

Honestly though, I think Bella summed things up rather well and I think reaction to the movie will be mixed. Those who didn't watch or don't know about WoK will probably love it. I would guess that most serious movie reviewers though will attack it from the standpoint of a remade version of that, with little imagination. It is almost like they started off the movie but then lost sight of how to end it and someone just said, "Well, let's do this...".

I think there were some nods to Trekkies though. You could hardly revisit the villain without the famous scream somewhere in there... it was just kind of "forced" instead of smooth and seamless with the storyline. I was discussing with some friends afterwards and we all agreed that if they were going to arc storylines, they should have gone the Borg route instead... that will be a blockbuster movie when / if they do that for sure.

The Borg appeared before TOS (in Enterprise), but only as the 'mystery cybernetic race.' They never identified themselves, and considering that Q from TNG had to fluig the Enterprise into the Delta Quadrant to get their attention again, the Borg clearly had no plans to revist Earth. How would this development be explained in the plot? I'd honestly hate to see them do a Borg-related plot line for that reason. This movie essentially bumped up the events of WoK by about 20 years or so; doing a Borg storyline bumps those events up about two generations. I think the next movie should concentrate on the Romulans taking advantage of the destruction of the Klingon fleet in the first movie, the destruction of Vulcan, and a Starfleet with an obvious identity crisis.

PS: It's spelled Qo'nos, JJ. Qo'nos.

simple: the borg send 1 drone through a temporal vortex so it can go back in time to kill kirk's mother before he's born, and the future picard sends data through the same temporal vortex to protect kirk's mom and ends up boinking her thus impregnating her with kirk leading up to the events of the star trek 1 and simultaneously remaking terminator and thus bundling the 2 franchises into 1

we can call it 'star trek terminator first contact 3d the next generation' or sttfc3dtng

enough with the Trekkie term . It is Trekker . If you are going complain about cannon, non=cannon. jj abrams etc you have to use the appropriate term for a Trek Fan(atict) .

[SP27]

I hate jar jar abrams.

I detested the first movie. lazy script writing, stupid sight gags, poor characterizations and abridge that looked so much like a fucking trendy LA hair salon I was half expecting to see Bronson Pinchot walking around asking anybody if they wanted an espresso.

i wont waste my money on this schlock.

jar jar has ruined trek and will most likely will run star wars. the turds at Disney did themselves a real disservice by hiring the hack.

I'm a black Trekkie. Not an African American Trekker. People are allowed to self identify any way they choose.

Klingon eh ?

[sabre666]

Ahem.. How do I put this? Hmm........ oh yeah, I know. IT SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Horrible! It looked like a poor man's rip-off of a Micheal Bay Transformer movie with a little Die-Hard thrown in.
Are there no original ideas in Hollywood anymore??????

[Chuck]

Klingon eh ?

Lol yes according to JJ's version.
