How Excited are You about Star Trek Into Darkness?

[C.E. Evans]

I'm more excited about the TNG, DS9, & VOY novels set after Nemesis, but I'm still interested enough (as a Trek fan) to go see the new movie.

[Temis the Vorta]

Pretty excited. Mainly I want big box office so that CBS will listen to Bob Orci's TV pitch next summer.

Once I see a trailer, I'll probably get more excited. Now, not so much.

[T'Girl]

Nothing so far to base any excitement upon, the decision to title it "into darkness" make me less willing to see it on opening day/weekend. But I will find time to see the movie the follow week at a afternoon showing.

I think that kind of sums it up. The trailer for he first movie really sold it to me. I hope they do that well this time around too.

I'm very excited.

And I don't get how people are still complaining on how we have next to nothing about the film, and that we should know more....

I mean, guys, this is basicly what it used to be before the internet you know? Nowadays you sit in the theatre and you'll go 'yeah, I read about this scene' or 'oh, this is what we saw as a clip online'.

There was a time when everybody was unspoiled and thought of it as (shock and horror coming) normal!!

Amen, brother!

And, yeah, I'm looking forward to the movie, but don't feel a burning desire to know all about it RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE!

Come May, I'll be in line . . . .

I'm not overly excited but it is likely to be an opening weekend film for me

[Sky]

I'm mostly meh.

The 2009 film I was incredibly excited about. Hell, I travelled to another country just to see the European premiere. Then the film was a disappointment to me. Now I'm not that invested anymore.

I'm more annoyed by the secrecy that TPTB have shrouded this film in. I'm looking forward to it and I hope it's good, of course, but I'm starting to get worried since no teaser or trailer is out yet when it's less than 8 months away from release. Are they concerned about what they've filmed and hurrying to salvage it? Is there something else that's a problem? Cumberbatch should be excellent if his character is written and directed well. I liked the 2009 film alot but it was hardly without some annoying flaws that chould've/should've been caught by the experienced and successful team of the writers and the director. I'm hoping that with all the time that they have taken to get this one together, they've spent it wisely to avoid such issues this time. I would be much more into it if they shared the basics that the vast majority of studios provide by this point: a trailer that depicts the stars and their roles as well as the basic plot. While it's a safe bet that something will come soon, I'm starting to get that bad vibe that I usually get when a film doesn't provide a review for critics usually out of fear that it will be universally panned. Don't freak: I know we're not at the point but it's just the feeling I'm getting and I'm hoping I'm wrong.

^Cue the Debbie Downer sound effect. Don't worry, it'll be Killer. I hope. ;-)

I am fairly excited at this stage. The real excitement will kick in once they begin promoting the film in earnest. *crosses fingers for NO Khan*

[Gojira]

I am super exited. Loved the previous movie so I am really excited to see this movie. So far nothing has come out to diminish my enthusiasm.

[teacake]

My GOD I am going to see NUSPOCK again!!! That sells it for me, really. I'm just sooooo excited about that and even if the movie is awful you can't take NuSpock from me..

[donners22]

In the middle. I didn't like the last one much at all, which is rather odd given that I have been able to like every other Trek series and almost every Trek film.

I'll watch it, probably at a midnight screening because it's best experienced with fellow Trek nuts, but won't go in with any high hopes.

[teacake]

I like watching the new movies by myself. I don't want other people and their noises impinging on my pure experience.

How do you manage that, short of waiting for them to come out on DVD?
