Star Trek 12 Gets Release Date
I'm not sure if its Star Trek 12 or Star Trek 2, but the release date is June 29, 2012.
http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2010/01/11...-nothing-else/ UPDATE: Paramount has confirmed to MTV that the projected release date for the "Star Trek" sequel is indeed June 29, 2012. This counts as news, but there's not much to it. We all know there's a "Star Trek" sequel coming. Hell, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, writers/producers of the May reboot, were talking about sequel possibilities as far back as the week after the first movie came out. Now we have a date to pin our hopes to: June 29, 2012. Nothing else is known or announced, so don't ask. Maybe director J.J. Abrams will return to helm the sequel, maybe he won't. Maybe Khan will be the villain, maybe not. For all we know, the plan is to give us an epic "Star Trek Meets Star Wars" crossover. Could happen, right? The news comes from a variety of sources, including Ain't It Cool News and Box Office Mojo, but there's no Paramount-issued press release that I can find. The information ran through some trustworthy sources, but we've yet to receive comment from the studio directly. Regardless, there really hasn't ever been any doubt that we'd be seeing more "Star Trek." Abrams' take on the series made it friendly to an entirely new, much wider audience than its ever known before. Were you anything less than certain that a "Star Trek" sequel was coming eventually? Where would you like the story to go from where it is now? Any specific hopes for the sequel? |

No.
Star Trek II is a masterful work of art. Into Pissness is action schlock.

I will say that Bruce Greenwood was very good in his role as Pike. His performance deserves a little recognition.

I do have to give him props. He did a great job with the role. I have to fall in the ST purists here. If they're just going to rewrite all the old episodes, I don't need it. I still have my memories of those old episodes. If they want to do a reboot, they have to come up with some new ideas. That said, I had a ton more problems with the first movie. Here's an example. At the end they couldn't just escape from the black hole. They ejected their warp cores and exploded them to give them enough momentum to escape. It would be like a car on a cliff slowly slipping towards the edge. The driver then decides to detach his gas tank and blow it up to give him momentum to get away. Problem is, how does he get away with no gas tank? Just another day for the Edselprise.

Well, since there is no gravity or friction in space, I believe an object in motion remains doing so until otherwise stopped.

I even tried to find some things to look forward to, like the glowing reviews of Simon Pegg. I'm a big fan of his, and thought he didn't get enough face time in the first movie. Unfortunately he did too good of a job! I thought his acting was a great portrayal of Scotty. Unfortunately, there is no way I can look at him and see a younger Scotty. All the other actors are close enough in appearance to suspend disbelief. In this one I was constantly at war between watching Scotty and Shaun of the Dead. I can't really put my finger on any one thing, but just so many little things adding up that make me completely uninterested in any 5 year mission. I've already seen that too. Besides, a story line like that fits a TV show, not a movie. No way they start making movie length TV episodes (I hope). Honestly, I think only one thing could bring me in to watch more of this alternate timeline. War with the Klingons. It happened in the original timeline, so it should be enough to follow the "similar but different" excuses we are seeing for the reboot. It has a broad but very undetailed back story, so just about anything they do would be a new story, or at least a first telling of an old story. Without Vulcan assistance, this could be a VERY dark time for the Federation, and fit in with the whole darkness theme that seems popular right now. It could fit in movies and/or TV shows. In fact, they could spend three movies on it, kill off the entire cast, and then start something new. I really like the cast. I really liked the special effects. I really enjoyed the action sequences. There's definitely plenty here for me to like, but they just need to move onto something different.

There is gravity in space, but no friction. If there were no gravity in space, planets couldn't be held by their sun. They weren't blown out far enough to escape the gravity of the black hole.

It was a good movie but down on the list of ST movies. It doesn't even make it past Wrath of Khan. I know its going to be a long time before we see another, if ever with JJ. I agree with the other comments, they need to do a movie on how the Klingon war started in the alternate timeline.

Just watched this on Fathers Day. I really liked it. I liked it better than the original Wrath of Khan. I find the original ones a bit more corny than these, which is why I like these two better.
If they did one on how the war started with the Klingons, that would be great.
