Star Trek - Into Darkness

[Mick]

Does it really count as a spoiler if everybody pretty much already knew? Though I wouldn't be surprised if that page doesn't exist pretty soon, given Abrams' boner for secrecy.

It's not just who it is, it's how they're revealed, as well as certain other details regarding the plot.

[Numbahs]

Really dug the first one Abrams made. Holds up to repeat viewings too.

I don't look forward to films anymore, I just see them all eventually...but I'm probably going to check out Into Darkness as early as possible during it's opening day.

So to promote the new movie, the UA theater in King of Prussia is showing Best of Both Worlds tonight. Me and my g/f have been disagreeing on a movie to go see tonight...she'd kill me if I bought tickets for this..but I'm SO tempted to do it..

[Benji]

Oops, wrong thread.

[Ant]

I'm in two minds about seeing this film. I loved the first JJ Trek but this one seems to be a bit mixed in terms of reaction.

I will most probably go and see it though as the effects look stunning and i am interested in Cumberbatch portraying a Trek villain.

[TKz]

Pretty sure I haven't seen a bad review of it yet. :/

[livid]

Yeah I was gonna say...the only 2 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are both positive.

[Ant]

I meant mixed as in people who are big Trekkies who have already seen it.

[livid]

Big Trekkies were mixed on the last one though too. :/

[Ant]

The ones i know loved the last one but a few of my mates say its not as good as the first movie.

[stokeriño]

As a 'Big Trekkie', I'm entirely confident that it will be amazing. >_>

[livid]

Also, why not wait to decide for yourself whether or not it's disappointing?

[Ant]

As i stated, i will most probably go to see it. I work with two Trekkies who have seen it and although they described quite a few bits of the film (despite me not wanting to know) as "ludicrous" and "not a Trek Universe result" it has put me off slightly.

But like i said i will most likely go to see it.

[Numbahs]

Technically, it's not really that Trek Universe. That was the whole point of the reboot.

Spock is gay, guys.

Spock is gay, guys.

Something just popped up on my sensors captain!

I don't get the secrecy behind the villian TBH. Everyone had speculated who it was for months..and I do know that, from the trailers if..

Spoilers on Cumberbatches role

AFter Cumberbatch says "I will return to have my vengence", it'd fade to black, show "Star Trek: Into Darkness" and Cumberbatch says "From hells heart, I stab at thee", I'd mark out like a little girl, and knowing its Khan would make me want to see it MORE!

[Nick Adams]

Well, here's the problem with the villain...

Chances are it's somebody completely new.

It isn't Khan. The trailers make it clear that it is a man that was a Starfleet agent. Khan was a villain locked in cryosleep for years. So it's not so much that they're trying to keep it a secret as it is that, barring it being Garth of Izar, the name might be totally unfamiliar to fans, and therefore it would be pointless, from the view of fan service, to mention it.

Go back a page and click the link Mick posted to a review from the Australian premier of the movie...alot of spoilers in it though..
