Cool, hope you enjoy them. I know I did

[Nebula]

Just got back from watching the film I have to say I agree with Darkthunder.

I'm actually happy with the twists they turned in this film.

[Darkthunder]

Hey, different universe. Things may happen in this one, that also happened in the "Prime" universe, but not necessarily in the same way as it once did

(sorry, trying to be cryptic here, without revealing any spoilers)

[Nebula]

Another surprise is the New Ent has actually grown on me some more with the new shots in this film. xD

Though I have to say WTF those torp placements.

EDIT: Also loved the ST3 Scotty throwback xD

Does the Big E get some nice, SLOW camera pans this time?  She had, what, 3 in the last one?

There's one that I can remember.  Thing is, it was from a really nasty angle (almost directly above) that made the boat seem weedy. 

Hey neb, st3 throwback? (I've seen it, so don't worry about spoiling it for me )

[Nebula]

you mean you didn't see the ST3 throwback? I mean it was quite obvious.

I heard a model of a NX-Class ship is seen on a desk some where in the film. I'll have to keep An eye out

I might be seeing it tonight, but more then likely tomorrow.

Yup it looks like they reused many of the warp test flight models from Ent as well. They were all sitting on a desk from the Pegasus, Kelvin, Ent, and Vengeance.

Very Neat

If I did, I don't remember it.

[Darkthunder]

If I did, I don't remember it.

Spoiler:

Remember the scene in ST3, where Scotty caused the Excelsior to "malfunction" ? Yeah, he did something similar by sabotaging the Vengeance. Just as she's about to fire on the Enterprise, the ship malfunctions, and the weapons go offline.

I won't be seeing it until tomorrow.  Wanted to see it today, but there was only one showing in 2D and I was working during that time.

Spoiler:

*SNIP*

Oh come on, that's a bit tenuous!
I get the similarity but eh....it's pushing it a wee bit imo.
Thanks!

EDIT

I kind of wish they'd used the lifts in the film though.  The  "Up yer shaft!" line would have been a nice nod to st3.

[mckinneyc]

What annoys me is everyone goes on and on about how this is an alternate timeline and events will unfold differently than in the prime timeline, if that is the case you would think the writers could actually come up with an original story instead of ripping of THE best Star Trek film of all time and one of the best films in the 1980s

[FarShot]

It's not ripping off.  They use elements, but the use of the villain is entirely opposite, and to an extent he's almost an antihero.  This movie is an allegory to terrorism and demonizing enemies of the state.

[Bones]

JJ didn't rip as much as Berman with Nemesis which is a complete rip off from Wrath of Khan ;)

[086gf]

Well, sense the thread title has been changed I guess theres no point in holding back the big details so.....





I Khan't wait to see it in IMAX 3D on sunday! Pretty much everyone has said(that has seen it in IMAX 3D) that seeing Into Darkness in 3D is well worth the extra coin require to do so.

Re: Khan
Many people are naturally pitching a fit about his forced change of appearence by using Cumberbatch(and doing nothing to hide that hes British) and not using an actor from Bollywood. I have nothing wrong with this at all. Why? Its this decades old thing they call plastic surgery ya bunch of nimrods. Michael Jackson anyone? In a few hundred years time you could no doubt make anyone look like anyone not just in the face but 100% of your body. As far as his voice goes, someone elsewhere has pointed out that the British accent is alive and well over in India. So, why wouldn't Khan not want to use his second language if he is required to blend in better in the UK?

Re: Kirk's Death Scene
Sure as you are watching it occur, your first two thoughts are "Ugh, they actually went there." and "I know that they want me to be sad sense Kirk is dieing but its lost in the fact that I already know that they will just bring him back with Khan's superblood anyways." The thing is though, that scene is not really meant for us at all. Its for Kirk and Spock to have their big friendship realization moment. To know that they would die for each other. Spock was willing to die to save the Nibiru primitives from extinction and Kirk was willing to die to save his "family" so that they can continue on to defeat Khan.

I will post more later but, yes I did enjoy it very much.

[FarShot]

Let's not forget that a Hispanic actor portrayed Asian Khan.  Hispanic and British are about as distant from Indian as black and white.  Hell, at least Britain and India have history together.
