Spoilers STAR TREK BEYOND
- Thread starter Khan 2.0
- Start date
Man, those guys must have some serious jet lag. I flew once to London and it took a month before I could stand to think about the flight back and that was only because I had to. Of course I'm sure they were more comfortable flying first class, but still draining flying from Aussie, to London and then back to the states.
Have you a link to something containing that announcement? The only thing a quick search turns up for me is someone saying the embargo will be lifted on the 20th, rather than the 21st.
Yeah everything seems to be going pretty well. It looks like the movie's getting some great word of mouth across the Trek sites.

More on the 4th movie with JJ quotes.
Sounds like they won't re-cast Chekov.

I'll miss pavel but im glad they aren't going to recast the role and they are honoring Anton's memory.
I'm intrigued by one comment: "Fun, pretty dark, lots of fan moments" [underlining added]
Everyone's talking about the fun, but if there's a dark edge that's cool too.
With Affleck as Spock, obviously. It coulda worked!
About 12 hours ago I found a 15 min review of STB on Youtube. It was not favourable. I watched a few minutes of it, but then gave up due to combination of relentless negativity and unstructured rambling.
Interestingly, his comments echoed my recently voiced opinions on GotG. Stuff happens but the overall effect is empty. Now, others have commented already that Beyond is structured around
trying to get/keep a macguffin
The strange thing is that the reviewer kept insisting on two contradictory things: 1. I'm a regular Joe who knows almost nothing about Star Trek. 2. This is not Star Trek!
I can't help wondering if he is some JJ-hater in deep cover: "Hello, normal people, I am a normal just like you! And I have some normal, completely objective remarks to make about how JJ Abrams deliberately destroyed Star Trek due to a bunch of obscure things none of you noticed or cared about..."
One of the reasons for the writers creating Jaylah was the concern that Uhura was the only female member of the main cast, perhaps they could bring in Saavik earlier to replace Chekov? Maybe also make her half-Romulan, as that would certainly play off of Spock and Kirk too, who have lost much to the Romulans, albeit time traveling ones.

Never got the love for Rand. Think I'd like to have a new female character with no baggage carry over from TOS.
Leslie E Owen chimed in on Facebook about me being a notorious "shill" for Paramount recently but other than that, haven't seen much of them.I wonder how the whole "there's no movie", is working out for those people who were spouting off about Abrams embezzling money from Into Darkness?
