Breaking news! (the day before Turkey Day? geeze...)

Sony moved Roland Emmerich’s Singularity from May 17th, 2013, to Nov 1, 2013. So now Paramount is grabbing that primo pre-Memorial Weekend date of May 17, 2013 for its much anticipated writer/director J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek sequel (which is really No. 12 among the Captain Kirk/Dr Spock star fleet movies). No title yet.

In 3D!

 

[Gojira]

Great news! Except for the 3D part.

 

[Hythlodeus]

3D? meh. JJ, you're a sellout!

 

[Dream]

3D? I think this might be Paramount's idea.

 

[BillJ]

I called it twelve months ago and everyone said I was stupid.

 

[Hythlodeus]

I just thought JJ had more class than that.
Anyway, hopefully there will be a couple of cinemas who'll offer 2D showings

 

[JarodRussell]

Finally, Abramstrek is going to give you guys headaches, too!

 

[ALF]

*Shrug* If I'm still alive by then, sure. Who knows what'll happen in a year and a half?

BTW, LOL @ "Dr Spock star fleet movies."

That would be my guess. There are still theaters showing 2D and so since I have eye problems that make it impossible for me to see 3D movies I will watch it in 2D.

BTW, LOL @ "Dr Spock star fleet movies."

Never mind that there have only been seven with Kirk and Spock. Someone doesn't do their research!

 

[Nerd unRage]

Yeah for an official date. Boo, to 3D but that's the norm these days for big movies.

 

[Kelso]

I can't wait.

 

[Bread]

Hmmmmm, 3D, hmmmmmm.

3D reeks of gimmickery to me, but, aside from some silly moments where objects are obviously thrown "into" the camera (usually in slow motion), it's not a distraction when rewatching the movies in 2D on DVD - and that's where I'm gonna be seeing it the other 998 times.

 

[Harvey]

3D? Yuck. A waste of time and money. I'll be sticking to the 2D version, if I can.

(I know, I know, I'm a curmudgeon).

Glad there's a release date, though.

You don't need to be a curmudgeon to hate 3-D. Don't believe the hype - the only reason the box office is so strong on 3-D is because people pay more to see them. The percentage of people I know who either don't go to the (big) movies anymore or actively avoid 3-D showings when possible currently sits at 100%. And I'm the only curmudgeon among them.

However, considering Abrams I thought had said he wouldn't be making Trek 12 in 3-D, my enthusiasm for the movie just plummeted to nil.

Lens flare in brain-shattering 3D!

I dislike 3D also. But I think your interest in the movie may rise as filming progresses and news leaks out!

Okay, now I can't wait! How do you do a 3D lens flare, anyway?

From the screen, through your optic nerves, and directly into your brain of course.
