Someone mentioned that New Sulu was a Fencing Master and it was almost as if they were saying Prime Sulu wasn't.....uhm, did they not see The Naked Time?  Prime Sulu=ALSO Fencing master...As Aparent when he walks onto the bridge with a foil in hand???

Just wanted to point that out!

I'm still keeping my optimism about Into Darkness.

Yes i saw it but it might have been choreography that looked like he just took some lessons, in ST XI he's much better at it but again it might be just choreography adjusted to dynamic action scenes instead of slow action.

So, siting in the theatrecand waiting for into darkness

Just got back from the cinema.  Overall, it's a fairly balanced film.  Balanced, as in "meh" that is.
Some bits I loved.  I really mean it, but those parts were balanced by the "wtf?", "eh?", "oh no, they did NOT just do that..." and "why?" parts.
It's a film of extremes, both as a theme and of overall quality.  


Oh, and bashir TURN YOUR FUCKING PHONE OFF IN THE CINEMA YOU INCONSIDERATE CLOD!

Were the Wtf parts bc JJ and his team contradicted cannon or just wtf bc it add no logical sense

I can forgive the canon violations.  It is a new time line after all. 

Overall, I feel that the film was, at its core, crafted so they could recreate one scene (with some minor changes). 
But like other trek films, there's so much in it they could have made a really good mini series out of it.

The phone was off for sure since the battery was down anyway    

In my opinion, it was better then the first JJ with some things i didnt like (klingons).

I think Trek ultimately belongs on television. Where they have a much greater ability to tell longer stories, and not cram everything into a 2 hour movie.

Going to the cinema to see the movie tomorrow evening with a group of friends. Looking forward to it

[captain_obvious]

I saw the first screening of it at my local cinema.  How many people were there?
About 6.  Including me and my pal.  I was expecting it to be crammed!

Interesting, thx for the heads up, although I really wanna not see it so I don't put any money in JJ's already big pockets, I am tempted bc a lot of people say it isn't really that bad, I'll see how I feel after I return from vacation. Maybe it's worth seeing...

It's not that bad, but it's not that good either.  Typical JJ fare if you ask me. 
Oh! Before I forget, I'd love *love* to see the new jj warp effect in game

Also, what on earth is "bc"? :/

Very true.  Movies are great and all, but Star Trek needs a TV show.

Bc= Because

Loved it! I for one have room for the two Universes in my life

So do I.  But does the general public? Sadly, I doubt that.

[nxadam1701]

I honestly don't have room for both, I rather wait a long time for something worth more than to settle for less. The reality is, its not worth a real Trekkies time or money. The target audience isn't really for fans so I wish them, the actors/etc the best but I don't see it going far. To me it's like eating a McDonalds burger or having a real traditional American burger on a grill at a BBQ/picnic, one is marketed well, looks fantastic, quenches the hunger for a moment but leaves you empty inside and wanting something else. The other has real substance and leaves you satisfied. Sure you gotta wait longer but it's worth it. Everyone is just reading into the hype with all the lens flare, sex and action. But what do you bring back to the forums, what new technology, what science, eh. Not too much. It's just ehhh that's all, not jaw dropping.

What is a "real Trekkie" ? I've been a fan of Star Trek since I was 4 years old, when I first watched The Next Generation. Loved every incarnation of Trek so far, and have enjoyed the 2009 movie many times over. Going to the movies tonight to see Into Darkness which i've anxiously been waiting for, for 4 long years.

[nxadam1701]

Well Trekkies keeping evolving everyday, I hated TOS when I was growing up, I started off with TNG, but for the last couple of years I've started getting into TOS which I really enjoy now. Guess things change, takes time to adapt. But to each his own, I just personall think that JJ made a good Syfy movie, I wouldn't label it Star Trek. Far from it, but had it been a Syfy story with the Trek taken out, I'd be pleased to watch it, lots of action, lots of special effects, etc... But what Im trying to say is that it doesn't have the substance to create a whole fandom, doesn't have what Star Trek had to create various games, RPGs, board games, conventions, series, many movies, home made movies, etc... It will just be a couple of movies not as epic as Star Wars which were just a couple of movies but we see how far that went, I hope Im getting my points across. Not dissing the JJ movies just saying it lacks the spark to create what we've seen good Syfy stories have produced in the past.
