Elba's a fine actor, but that'll only really matter if the writing is good. Cumberbatch is a fine actor. Eric Bana is a... Well, Cumberbatch is a fine actor...

Aw, is this the new crap? I was hoping it was a real ST movie.
Infinity?

Titles don't bother me much.
The Motion Picture (Every one of them has been a motion picture. That one just happened to be the first.)
The Voyage Home (They get home in the first 20 minutes. Not much of a voyage.)
The Undiscovered Country (Shakespeare was referring to death. Gorkon linked it to "peace" which, might be synonymous in Klingon I suppose.)
Nemesis (Calling Shinzon Picard's nemesis is an utter insult to Picard.)
To sum up, good and bad Trek films have had bad names. They can call it "Star Trek: Electric Borg-aloo" for all I care, as long as they give me a good movie.

Beyond caring, which is how I feel after Into Darkness...
Earth: Above AND BEYOND!
Sorry. I couldn't resist.
I feel kind of bad for Star Trek more than ever now. Not only because of this title, but also what occurred at the Star Wars Celebration Convention recently. Star Wars pretty much told it's fans that they're like family while Star Trek has told it's fans to **** off... twice. It's like the days where I was more of a Star Wars fan than a Star Trek fan are coming back and I'm actually welcoming it.
Seriously, beyond can mean ANYTHING. Where did all the cool titles like "First Contact" or "The Undiscovered Country" go? Those were awesome.

Actually, Gorkon used it in reference to the future. Which given Klingon culture, makes perfect sense...

I think that's being extremely charitable towards the suits. I think what the suits want is to basically mimic what the other more successful films are doing in the hopes of stealing their market share. The problem with that is that it's an "also ran" approach and that stuff just doesn't work. It ends up being treated as an inferior knockoff and a betrayal of what makes your brand unique.
The real problem is in the attitude that because another movie made gazillions of dollars, if your movie ISN'T making the same gazillions, it's a failure. A better approach is offering a distinct product that appeals to a large enough market to keep bringing in money and turning a profit.
