Me too. Bold stylistic choice that helped establish an aesthetic and a tone for the film.

Bold?

LMAO

No, it's not "bold".

So he's made the same bold stylistic choice in everything he's ever done? How bold.

hahaha!

You're right.

Must have missed it in everything else he's done.

He's well known for those lens flares.

Is he? Weird. I really don't recall him using them. And there's feature that talks a lot about the choice of the lens flares and how they did them for Star Trek.

Well, he had only made MI3 prior to ST and I don't remember them much in that?

He did use them a lot in Super 8.

I don't mind if he turns out to be Khan. We don't really know a lot about Khan.

Yeah, I don't give a good tin shit who the guy is playing. I just want a good movie. And so far, it looks to be a pretty good ****ing movie. Trailers can be deceiving, but I'm super optimistic.

Doubt this will last long...

Pretty awesome. Could have done without the chick giggling at every little thing though.

Star Trek Fan Granted Dying Wish By J.J. Abrams Passes Away
 

http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Star-...way-34947.html

It was a heartbreaking story with a positive twist that we could all feel good about. Dan Craft, a major Star Trek fan and an organizer of the New York Asian Film Festival, was dying of cancer. He knew he wouldn't live long enough to see the upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness, so his wife and friends took to the Internet with a special request: help them get in touch with J.J. Abrams and ask for some kind of early look at the movie.

Not only did Abrams comply, but he showed Craft and his wife an unfinished cut of the entire film. Just days later, Craft passed away. The New York Asian Film Festival announced his passing on their Facebook page, with this sad but poignant message:

Last night around 10:15pm, Dan Craft, who has been a member of Subway Cinema since 2004, passed away. His wife and brother were with him when he went, and he wasn't in any pain. He'd been a bit loopy for a few days as his liver failed and toxins built up in his blood, and on Thursday his wife asked him if he needed to go to the bathroom. "I'm going..." he proclaimed, "Into the future."

See you there, Dan.

Dan Craft: 1971 - 2013

We miss you.

Craft became somewhat famous online with a story that had a set ending: he knew and we knew that his time was limited, and the happy ending wasn't that he would be miraculously cured, but that he would get to see one last thing he loved before he passed. Craft's wish came true, and yet, it's hard not to be sad that the world has lost as passionate and determined a cinephile as he was. Congratulations to Craft's family and friends for making his Star Trek viewing possible, and condolences to all who knew him on their loss.

Yeah the initial request for this started on Reddit. Apparently his wife and friend that made the request had gotten him out to see the Hobbit which was supposed to have the extended trailer, but it turned out not to. The friend put the request out on reddit for some way for him to see the trailer or movie. Abrams called Dan's wife the next day. Awesome story.

That's great. Major props to Abrams for doing that.
