Can you tell me where the Nuuuucleeaar Vvvvveeessles are?

If this guy's spoiler info is correct (and I am extremely skeptical that it is), it's a damn good thing that Disney/LucasFilm hired writers outside of Abrams typical sphere of dumbasses, especially Lindelof.

For all the bluster and goodwill that Abrams created with his take on Star Trek, it really wasn't a very good film.

The best part was casting, IMO.

Why is it not Star Trek?

Lots of episodes from TOS have the cast traveling in time and doing stuff not in the 23rd century.

You lost me at the implication that III and V are viable movies.

There's nothing wrong with Star Trek III.

Christopher Lloyd is a little hammy but that's fine.

It's a beautiful movie about life, love, loss and friendship. :crybaby:

Wasn't referring to them specifically. V is awful.

YOU SCREWED IT UP. It should be "Nuuuucleeaar Wwwwweeessles"! The V was a W...

I cannot watch III. IV is more palatable but as it's been mentioned, it was hardly a Star Trek movie. It was more like a "Road Movie" with two likeable actors like Lemon and Matthau.

The good:

McCoy possessed by Spock
Escaping from Star Fleet/space station/trashing the Excelsior
Christopher Lloyd
Little space battle
Enterprise destroyed
Ending on Vulcan

The bad:

Robin Curtis
Continuity issues (Enterprise damage, Enterprise far older than 20 years)
Horrible sets/scenery for Genesis Planet
Kirk's kid is a pussy
Captain of Grissom is an even bigger pussy

FYP

LMAO

****ing whiners

it's a beautiful film

"jim...your name...is jim"

star trek II, III and IV are a trilogy

they go together

they're beautiful

In that case the TOS episode where they travel back in time to 20th century earth isn't a Star Trek episode either!!!

AND NEITHER IS THIS ONE!

http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/The_...rever_(episode)

OR THIS ONE!!!

http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Assi...Earth_(episode)

Sure they're a trilogy.

Just like The Matrix.

Sulu's best line ever!

"and dont call me Tiny"

Oh my god.

The entire stealing the Enterprise scene is the most fapworthy thing in the entire, entire, entire Star Trek movie mythos.

It's basically a heist film. It's like Ocean's 11 in space.

"Kirk. You do this, and you'll never sit in the Captain's chair again."

"Warp speed."
"Aye sir, answering warp speed...."

/nerd

My excitement for this film wanes with every new reveal.

If they're going to destroy the Enterprise, that's a real cheap way to get thrills, and nothing but a ripoff.

Could be misdirection. Probably is misdirection. They show it emerging from water in the beginning. Later we seen it crashing into water. They probably get the shields and engine fixed right as it's about to impact. I'll bet that's how it shakes out.

Someone should compare this side to side with the new iron man 3 poster.

This wont make some fans happy. The Studio is openly admitting trying to get away from the space setting and the "Trekkiness" of it all.

Paramount is playing up Benedict Cumberbatch's villainous character in many foreign markets where a bad-guy-vs.-good-guy storyline resonates best. And the studio is promoting the fact that much of Into Darkness takes place on Earth -- not in space. "In many places, we did extensive research to find out what we should showcase," explains president of international distribution Anthony Marcoly. "Overseas, we've tried to get away from the Trekkiness of it all."

Well, when you think about it, even Star Trek First Contact was mostly on earth.

Trailer 3. Wow....

uhm....what ship is that at time stamp 1:16. And no not the Enterprise on the left but the large dark ship on the right. It looks like a Fed ship but is it a future Enterprise or something?

I ask because the dish array is not protruding out like the older version of the Enterprise on the left. It is sunk in like the USS Excelsior or the futuristic Sovereign Class Enterprise. I would say Sovereign Class all the way if the warp Nacelles were swept back instead of being mounted high like the older JJ Abrams Enterprise.

That looks pretty awesome.

What? No. There is still no mention of that.

Nice....... this opens up a whole new can of worms from the future....

I don't think the ship is from the future.

It better not be. i would like to see them make a film without time travel. That is so overused and played out.

That new ship is either about the size of the Enterprise-D, or much bigger, depending on how big you believe the Abrams Enterprise is. It'd be hilarious if "John Harrison" was a time traveling Jean-Luc Picard. I'm not saying it's likely, or even possible, but people would lose their shit (not in a good way).

My first thought is that it belongs to some clandestine Star Fleet organization and the guy goes rogue. Sort of like in DS9 where the Obsidian Order had bigger and badder ships than the regular Cardassian fleet.

I'm going to go with same timeline, equivalent of Galaxy-class scale battleship.

I don't know why I thought future ship. It just looks darker and shaped differently, and had some kinda quad cannon weaponry that the crew seemed unaware and terrified of. :shrug:

My thoughts are it's not a Starfleet ship.

The guy is a rogue starfleet officer who goes off and builds his own ship somewhere. He uses his knowledge of starfleet technology to make the biggest, baddest most ****-you battle cruiser in the galaxy.

it's not from the future. Don't click this if you don't want spoilers.

This, Man of Steel and Iron Man 3, hell ya

Going to be a much better lineup than last summers weak one.

I'll add Pacific Rim, Wolverine, Hangover III, Fast 6, Kick Ass 2, The Conjuring and Lone Ranger in there.

Should be a fun summer for sure!

This looks ****ing amazing.

Oh yea, and Elysium too.

Looks like an Ambassador class ship, like the one from the episode Yesterday's Enterprise.

http://en.academic.ru/pictures/enwik...Enterprise.jpg

Well, kind of....

And just let me add my "Holy Shit" sentiment to the trailer....

I assume some how they obtained enough information off of Nero's ship to develop something to that scale.

Nero's ship was sucked into a black hole. I don't think there's anything left of it.

their could've been a Klingon survivor ( distress call) that had this technology to use, and in the trailer Cumberbatch was kicking the shit out of a Klingon( FWIW).

I guess he's a Gary Mitchell variant and has returned to **** shit up.

This.

Maybe. Those green hues on the nacelles resemble Nero's Borg infused ship....

The name of the big ship is the USS Vengeance.

This is part of the ship:

Apparently there are more details if you download the Star Trek App.

http://www.startrekmovie.com/StarTrekApp/

Wasn't the original proposed title for the film Star Trek: Vengeance?

No, no, no...It was to be called Star Trek VI : Return of the Romulans, where Spock and Uhura find out they are actually brother and sister, and the Federation, with the help of the Tribbles on their home planet, finally defeat Nero.

So I haven't really paid any attention to this movie at all, haven't seen any trailers (don't see many since I cut the cord in February), and just today I found out that Benedict Cumberbatch plays the lead villain. That is so awesome. No wonder there was such a long break on Sherlock.

so you haven't seen all the previews right here in this thread? You under a rock or something?

Saw the 3D preview at Jurassic Park 3D. I will definitely be seeing this in 3D.

I haven't opened this thread in over 6 months.

Mr. Beaks Reviews STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS!
(Apologies to the spoiler-sensitive, but I have no interest in writing about this movie without addressing its major reveals.)

I guess I'll hold off on reading this.

Yup

Moriarty's review on hitfix is similar, albeit in a more positive tone than Beaks':

I think we all know what the spoiler is.

Yep. What has been read, cannot be unread. But I pretty much assumed that was the deal all along.

I expect from this movie what I got from the last one - dumbed down, Star Warsy Star Trek tricked out for the "ohhhhh shiny" crowd. Entertaining, but at the same time a sad reflection of the times.

And like the last one, Star Trek Lite is better than no Star Trek at all.

Kirk IS Kahn

Yea, pretty much. But i do think the casting was spot on, and they stayed focused on the Kirk/Spock/McCoy relationship.....they get it.

I still say that the original show had its fair share of action, and probably would have offered more, if it had not been constrained by budget. Of course, they were probably forced to write more "intellectual" scifi because of that.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

couldn't even take the time to post a GIF? Fail.

Spock dies but they bring him back to life in ST 13.

At least it will only take 10 movies before they do the remake.
