Star Trek Into Darkness [** SPOILERS FROM POST 452 **]

MilanPan!c

After the last Star Trek movie the villain could be the whale from Start Trek IV and I'd still be hugely excited...

Looks like we're finally getting that Star Trek/Torchwood crossover we always wanted.

Looks like Christopher Nolan has started a trend.

Any guesses as to who that is? Though I suppose it's probably going to be Kirk. I don't mind if they're following a trend, its a pretty cool movie poster. If anything, it resembles something from Mass Effect 3.

Sad Professor

Based on the jacket, I assume it's Cumberbatch.

That poster...

Beneath A Steel Batmanfield 3.

Can't wait for the movie. And not only because I have an unhealthy obsession with Cumberbatch.:D

Goldstein

That poster reminds me of Aldiss' Non Stop. Also, why is the Guerkin one of the buildings? Is this supposed to be London?

Looking at it carefully, you're probably right. Pine's Kirk had much lighter hair.

pixelburp

Yeah, looks a lot like Cumberbatch to me, certainly going by the figure's stature and shape.
Poster looks suitably gloomy, doesn't exactly fill me with excitement; one thing I liked about ST was it bucked the trend for downbeat genre-films - it was optimistic and colourful, as ST should be.
I can also hear the Inception-style BAAAAUUUUUUUMs in my mind already.

Sad Professor

A film can have a darker tone and still be be exciting and fun to watch. JJ is a big Star Wars fan, so The Empire Strikes Back was probably an influence on the direction of this film.

This. This right here. This illustrates how little your opinion should mean to anyone. I mean, DS9!!

Sisko - the worst actor in the history of actors. He must have had some serious lung issues seeing as how he needed to inhale beyond the needs of any other human being before every word.

I watched DS9 but I never once enjoyed it. Its only redeeming feature was Dax(1&2)

I liked the new movie and i'll be looking forward to the new one despite the casting of cumberbun

wheres the dislike button, for me personally DS9 was the best start trek series, sisko is no picard by any means, but it had the biggest and best array of characters, the thing i dont get is why you watched 7 seasons of a show you didnt like,


also i do like that the hole in wall was shaped like the starfleet emblem:D:D

I know that you are not meant to say that a personal opinion is wrong but that really does test it

That and he does not like Benedict Cumberbatch!!

FutureGuy

The poster is very interesting. It's Cumberbatch's villain looking over London.

I have a feeling it's a character called Garth of Izar. An unrivalled starfleet captain who was a master tactician and explorer. He rose to fleet captain before descending into madness. The Fleet captain would probably have access to the starfleet prefix codes (used to self destruct any ship).

Going by the synopsis, it seems that Kirk loses his family early in the film, and I would even suggest that family also means Catain Pike. I think that would hold alot of weight with the audience that watched the first one as he was essentially a father figure for Kirk.

Ah c'mon lads.
DS9 was brilliant, but respect where it's due, Enterprise was quite good.

Can somebody get me the 'not sure if serious' meme, please?

Thanks.

It had it's moments but it was appalling at times.
I think the first and second series were probably ok as a whole.

Khan is arguably the greatest human villain in Sci-fi film history, am I the only one who will be disappointed if Cumberbatch is not playing Khan?

The thought of Gary Mitchell upsets me.

All of the ST shows and films were appauling at times. They weren't perfect, none of them. But DS9 did a great job of developing characters and story arcs making the show alot stronger as it went on.

DS9 was class, almost front to back. There was the odd turkey in there but it was really good.

I meant Enterprise. I thought it was a good idea and started ok but descended into madness after the first couple of series.
There's the odd time-travel episodes in the other ST series but anchoring entire series around it is a recipe for disaster.

Also: alien Nazis.

I'd much rather they do something original than just remake TWOK.

When they were hired to do STII, Harvey Bennet and Nicholas Meyer watched every episode of TOS and picked out Khan as a character they thought would make a great villain in the film. TWOK made Khan the iconic villain he is today. There's no reason why Abrams and co can't do the same with another character from TOS.

Manny Coto was really starting to turn Enterprise around when he became show runner-the multi episode arc structure in particular really helped. Voyager is as bland and tedious a television show as you can get. It's amazing how they pissed away such a promising premise. It is fun to watch Robert beltran trying to suppress his contempt for the show though.

I agree, I'd rather someone new as well but I'd also like to see someone have another go at Khan. Its just I don't find the idea of Gary Mitchell interesting. The whole ESP/Telekinetic thing has been done to death at this stage.
