You guys do know that the movie had a special premiere in Australia on April 23? You can google the reports. No spoilers here, but from what I read - most of you guys will throw gigantic nerdrage fit. Seriously.    |

Spoiler alert: JJ Abrams overuses lens flare in the movie.
Speaking of overused: Spoiler alert: In the final act, the situation on the Enterprise will become immensely dire. So dire, in fact, that the only way to save the crew and defeat the bad guy will be to eject the warp core.
(these are jokes, I haven't seen it yet)

Well, unless it's TNG. Then it's invert polarity of tachyons using the deflector dish.

Every time I hear Benedict Cumberbatch talk in the previews, I swear he's doing a Patrick Stewart impersonation.

TNG is the root of my "eject the warp core!" peeve. It seemed (to me) like every other episode had Geordi yelling to Picard about the damage to the warp core. Ugh. For the record, I hate it because I think it's overused, not because of the techno babble. |

I predict Into Darkness, like the previous movie, will replace the treknobabble with endless scenes of characters running down hallways to pretend that there's some kind of drama going on.

You mean dangling off of ledges?
That was like 45 minutes of the movie - people either falling off or struggling not to fall off of ledges.

Abrams shits on franchise. Movie makes a ton of money because lensflares. Done. |

I love Star Trek but I couldn't be bothered to rage at the first film. It's just a shitty faux Trek film for the drooling masses made by an awful director. It's more fan fiction than actual Trek film. At least they had the decency to make it essentially non-canon and completely ignorable.
I was going to say I look forward to Abrams shitting all over Star Wars but I'm not sure that shitting on what is already a giant pile of shit amounts to much.

No, it's the New Canon. Expect anything in the coming years off of this rif, not the old one which will be left to fester as it is. |

I'll be okay with whatever they do. New Trek, for all its flaws, doesn't seem to enrage me at all for some reason, and I was a HUGE Trekkie once upon a time. I understand what the new stuff is doing, and accept it.
There is one thing that did cause me incalculable rage, however. Whose fucking idea was it to have the ENGINE ROOM IN A WARP-CAPABLE STARSHIP look like a chemical plant in New Jersey? If they do away with that awful set design, or at least rein it in somewhat, all else will be forgiven.

A better question is why - in a starship where space is a premium - is there a 3' diameter coolant pipe that runs for 100+ feet without encountering any devices that need cooled when the liquid is low-enough temperature to not scald a person.

You call it an accident. I call it justice.

My only real gripe with the new Trek is why in the bridge of the Enterprise so god damn bright? The whole thing looks like it was made out of acrylic pieces. The bridge to the USS Kelvin would have been better IMHO.

For the next movie, I'm wondering how they're going to give Kirk a son. Not only is he too young in this version, he actually gets cockblocked way, way more often than Classic Kirk.

You know I watched Wrath of Khan a couple of weekends ago in preparation for this movie.
Wrath of Khan is terrible. It is an awful movie that is stupid and terrible and it's supposedly the best one of the bunch?
UGH.
I'll take the reboot over any other Trek movie.

It's the only way 3d movies can be made bearable after those god awful glasses steal 40% of the light. I'm only half joking, its a factor in the art design of every 'made for 3d' film these days. |

As for Canon. I'm fine with what they're doing to the prime universe in STO.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.

Reviews I'm seeing say it has all the faulty philosophy and science based plot holes that people seem to like about the TV show, but they do it alongside EXPLOSIONS and RUNNING so you don't notice them as much.
Which sounds good to me.

And the first Star Trek reboot. Exactly. I don't even know why these movies pretend to have stories anymore. It's all about the roller coaster ride. |
