STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS - Grading & Discussion [SPOILERS]

[Commishsleer]

So is any of the main characters going to die, leave or turn bad?

What do you think?

They promised us they'd shake things up with the reboot. My guess is that they won't, though. The next film is going to end with all the guys back on the bridge at their familar positions.

Question formulated in August 2012 in this thread. So, M I Rite?

Why would you want this to happen?
The've just been on the ship 5 minutes and you want them dead or on other ships? We've seen the crew on 2 missions and that needs a shakeup?
You know I saw Chekov in Engineering and Scotty gone and I didn't like it one bit.

I completely agree.

I predict Star Wars VII besides having the trademark "bad feeling" line will also contain a trash compactor scene, a hand cutting off scene, someone falling from a great height screaming "noooooooooo..." and the villain saying "I care" at a terribly awkward moment. And that's just in the prologue.

I know you're speaking in jest, but after two Star Trek movies full of gratuitous name dropping and catchphrase quoting, I'm pretty sure that's exactly what JJ Abrams Star Wars movie will look like.

He's not writing Star Wars, nor are Orci, Kurtzman or Lindelof.

The Best of Both Worlds 1 by Riker, if I'm not mistaken.

Exactly.

Now, I don't know this (have to browse through the TNG sections to find out), but is it yet equally controversial and being similarly commented and viewed as Pike's line?

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Fire up the engines. Half impulse until we clear the nebula, then punch it to warp nine.

That's nothing. No gravitas. The word "punch" is just another word like the word "clear". You have to end your command with "punch it" not squash it into the middle of a sentence. You don't even want any bits of sentence in front of it, "punch it" should be a stand alone.

I agree, the madness may not have been something the regenerating blood could fix.

Maybe the regenerating blood is even the cause of Khan's madness.. and what will this mean for James Kirk?

That's exactly what I was thinking at the end of the movie. It would make for an interesting STXIII.

I think it was more his live on Ceti Alpha V made Khan the vengeful madman we saw in TWOK. I'm sure it had nothing to do with his blood.

Or did you mean nuKhan? I don't think he was exactly mad, either. But it would make for an interesting story if they followed up on that in the next movie.

Speaking of a follow up: Is it just me or did the scene with Khan and his augments in the cryochambers near the end of the movie just scream for a tv series to continue their story?

I think Khan showed plenty of madness at the end, trying to aim the falling Vengeance at Starfleet HQ, and in what we were told of his backstory (goals including the extermination of those not genetically enhanced).

My thought was Kirk going insane, a la the other captains in TOS, no doubt culminating in an "Amok Time" style fight with Spock...

Its been too long!
And don't forget the classic fight music!

I can get over the villian being kahn. but what if they make a directors cut of the film that cuts off at least where spock screams kahhn. To me that would make the film so much better.

A new review. I think.

Would the film have lost anything valuable had the villain been John Harrison, and NOT Khan?

No.

No.

Hey, Dennis, have you changed your user name again?

 

[Roshi]

No.

No.

No.

Glad to see that other folk are catching on, though. No sense wasting time and energy, after all.

For what it's worth, was Harrison ever identified as Khan Noonien Singh or just Khan?

 

[Roshi]

Yes, he was. By Spock Prime.

 

[Oso Blanco]

For what it's worth, was Harrison ever identified as Khan Noonien Singh or just Khan?

He called himself Khan. Spock Prime referred to him (or rather to Khan Prime) as Khan Noonien Singh. Too bad that nuSpock didn't show him a picture of nuKhan just for identification's sake.

 

[Franklin]

Yes, he was. By Spock Prime.

Thanks. So, Spock showed Spock Prime saw a picture, I assume?

I suppose there were people who were disappointed that Spock Prime didn't say, "No, I don't recognize him. That's not the Khan I knew. He's too thin and pasty. Someday, I'll tell you about the real brute we faced. In fact, if you have an hour, I'll do it now. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...."

 

[trekkiebaggio]

Yes, he was. By Spock Prime.

Thanks. So, Spock showed Spock Prime saw a picture, I assume?

No, Spock said "did you ever encounter a man named Khan?" or something along those lines.

And about giacchino soundtrack in STID? What is your opinion? Better? Worst?
I really enjoyed Michael Giacchino's work on the Star Trek (2009) score.
