He's 55 years old and his resume is sick. He was Lucasfilm's first choice to direct Episode VII but he passed in order to complete his next film, Tomorrowland.

I'm sure at some point down the road, he'll direct a film in the Star Wars universe.

No words for that movie. Pure win, better than the first. Only thing is the reappearance of future Spak.

The 13-day total is now $159.4M (vs. $158.6M for the 2009 film in the same amount of time). After 4 days it was slightly behind the '09 entry, then a few days ago it caught up, now it's passed it. Worldwide it's now at $261M.

I enjoyed it a lot more than 2009. Sure, it had predictable moments but sometimes it's about the journey and not the destination. I'm surprised about how many callbacks to "canon" Trek were made in the flick though.

Hopefully there's a final movie to wrap things up to a degree.

I thought it was pretty good. I don't know shit about the Star Trek mythos, but Khan is a ****ing beast.

Spock was giving him that work though. Had his ass on his knees screaming with that five finger Vulcan shoulder death grip thing LMAO I laughed at that part.

Yep. Abrams basically has no original thought of his own.

LMAO Red Letter is the shit.

But to be completely fair, Plinkett hasn't liked ANY of the Trek films, save the very first one from '79 ('78?).

So after 18 days in release.... 181 milly.

He didn't review the original crew movies, although he has spoken favorably about elements of II and VI in other reviews. He didn't like any of the NG films, and was even hard on the only truly good one, First Contact (although he did raise some excellent points that I hadn't considered before).

He did like the 2009 movie.

He slammed it.

Why do I give a shit what he thinks? **** him. Star Trek the Motion Picture was AWFUL. Pure garbage. It only got better from there. The NG movies don't hold up particularly well, but I did like them when I saw them because of how much I missed Patrick Stewart.

Into Darkness was good. I was entertained. That's all I ask for.

Bull. Shit.

Just watched it a couple days ago. It's slow, but it's one of the best pure stories.

I just watched it on Blu Ray, because I got the set for my bday. It's far too long for the plot. It's like they tried to make an episode into a film and had to figure out a bunch of shit to make it longer. So you end up with serious pacing problems and the camera just lingering on people for no reason.

Absolutely this. I didn't care for it the first time I saw it in theaters but when I picked it up on DVD when I was older I loved it.

It's so much cooler when you realize that V'ger visited the home world of the Borg, which in turn, made them become what they became a few hundred years after its visit.
