Second,



Their unnamed source went on to say,


When asked for more clarification the source just laughed.

So there you have it. More cryptic tidbits about the “Star Trek” sequel to feed the rumor mill and create hearsay. While this doesn’t really tell you much, before long all of these little details are going to come together and form like Voltron to give a clearer picture of what the movie may or may not be about. Until then, speculate wildly, my pretties![/quote]

Interesting

I'm currrently rewatching Star Trek TOS, and it so happens that I just finished watching Space Seed (1967) where Ricardo Montalban first took on the role of Khan in Star Trek.

It is very interesting that in the said episode, it ended with Khan being exiled to a barren planet to start anew, and he was positive about it.

And in the Second Star Trek movie, the exile took it's toll and Khan was driven to have his revenge on Captain Kirk...

Also interesting that Earth in the 1990's had a Eugenics War in which perfect man (and women) took to space to start a new colony of Perfect Men, with Khan as their leader!!

So we are the survivors of an Eugenics Wars??!! :lol

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

With 84 episodes of Star Trek The original Series, 178 episodes of Star Trek The Next Generation, 172 episodes of Star Trek Voyager, 176 episodes of Star Trek Deep Space Nine, 98 episodes of Star Trek Enterprise and NOT TO MENTION 12 theatrical films (phew, what a mouth full), can J.J. Abrams and gang pull of the impossible??!

Another fresh, original and fanboy pleasing Star Trek movie??

I believe the answer is YES!!

Story - fresh, original, entertaining, brilliant and there are themes that are revisited (I believe the Hollywood term is "re-imagine")
Pacing - Unbelievable
Cast - Perfect!
Action - Non stop
Picture Quality - Eye Popping Imax 3D
Sound Quality - Is the Enterprise chasing my A$$??!!

Downside??

You betcha. Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy I believe had since become fast friends. I believe Chris Pine had very cockily stated that he was to make Kirk his own character... I believe they are both channeling their predecessors... They are both developing... a pot belly...! (Damn you form fitting Star Trek uniforms... Damn you...)

It have been more then 3 years since we last saw Chris as Kirk, and all the new found fame and wealth and my assumption partying is taking their toll on Chris... he has AGED!!

But I digress and I'm nitpicking...

I really hope that they make another Star Trek movie, WAY BEFORE fours years from now.

This movie is gonna make Paramount ALOT of money. The question is whether Paramount is willing to give all players their share so everyone will come back.

Another concern would be J.J Abrams had since sign on to another monster project, Star Wars VII...

Do I LOVE this movie?

If I wasn't being clear, HELL YES!!

DO I want more???

YES PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON TOP.

As always...

My two Sen.

P.S. Please note that our Censorship board had decided to make 3 VERY OBVIOUS CUTS from the movie...

That has actually been done, in Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) which almost killed the franchises (nothing wrong with the movie, it is just that the movie expected every viewer to be a fanboy, and judging by the number of attendees.... that is exactly what had happened...)

I believe some fanboy would have loved for you to have used the spoiler for the whole thing...

It is VERY BAD A$$ and I believe you have asked a very valid question... I WANT ONE TOO now....

I can see where you are coming from...

You sense of deva ju is valid.

The timeline had changed, but the chess pieces (so to speak) remains the same.

Hence, in my post, I used the term, "re-imagine"

I believe the huge percentage of fanboys (okay, Trekkers) need familiarity, in my humble opinion, I agree with the direction that J.J. Abrams and gang had taken.

Please understand that it is just my opinion and I really do understand your point of view.

I'm sorry, I'm old and my memory is failing me... I cannot remember the Scimitar (nor the Sovereign Class Enterprise)... maybe a revisited to Star Trek Nemesis is in order...

I'm afraid I had expressed myself poorly...

I meant Star Trek Nemesis, almost killed the Star Trek movie franchises....

I never thought of that, although I have my doubts, seeing how the Narada was sucked though a BIG A$$ black/worm hole.....

Hey guys

A suggestion.

I have got a Star Trek TV Series thread Star Trek TV Series which I feel is more appropriate location to discussed the Star Trek TV Series.

I started this thread to do reviews of the Star Trek The Next Generation (which has been release on Bluray)

I just haven't got the time to write alot there at this point in time (haven't got time to rewatch TNG)

I promise I'll get around to them as soon as I can.

Cheers

I never meant to discourage people from watching the Star Trek series by stating the number of episodes!!

At least try out the Star Trek The Next Generation!

I know alot of fans would probably criticize me for not recommending the original

I just think that to modern viewer, it would seem a little jaded....

If you like the next gen, then consider the original!!

Cheers

But of course! If you were you would know the correct term is Trekker!!?!

I agree with you about the Original series...

I just don't believe many non trekker would agree...

I would really LOVE another Star Trek movie.

The current one would make ALOT of money and therefore, the chance is high!!

Nope, Non Trekkers call Trekkers, Trekkies... Am I making sense??

... My why the long face. I suppose it doesn't matter, most people get it, either term.

Quickfire and I like to banter with each other... at least, I like to banter with him!!?!!
