Star Trek Into Darkness (Pre-release)
- Thread starter Dave Porter
- Start date
I can understand that. No Earth is in danger subplot, a strange anomaly with huge story potential and a music score that even to this day I still can't believe Dennis McCarthy composed. It's clearly one of those Star Trek productions that had all the right talent, but was boggled down with the story be dictated by the studio and creating plot points to indulge the main actors.
Still, despite what could be just an ok film in the end, STID just doesn't look like it has any faith in it's own source material. The story appears to be rehashing the last one, Earth seems to play a bigger role than space does, Kirk is treated like he's the 'only' great thing in Starfleet despite his flaws, and the crew will only be there for support who will never have fully fleshed out stories of their own.
I'm not going to say that this isn't Star Trek. It is, but there's so much that can be told in this expansive universe that doesn't depend upon a revenge seeking bad guy in a big dark ship who wants to attack Earth.

A while back a friend suggested that Harrison would turn out to be Picard. Not sure how that'd work, but it would be interesting.

The jury is still out for me. I'll wait to see the film. However, Orci and Kurtzman are the writers and anything they pen is pretty much unoriginal fluff with gaping plot holes and borrowed lines/scenarios.
And enemy scrotums.
A little sneak peak at a JJ universe Bird of Prey.

I think there's an incredibly brief, blurry glimpse of one in the most recent trailer, but it's one of those "blink and you missed it" shots, it goes by so quickly. :unsure

That trailer was so spoiler-y I think I might have predicted the film.

Except for it's constantly changing scale...should fit right into JJ 'verse.
Scale and origin. It was supposed to be Romulan. Still has the painted wings. But the design itself was brilliant.

that bird of prey looks like a one man fighter.
Most Lego versions of ships do. :lol

That's because the Enterprise defense systems are based around a large scale assault.

Interesting ship. It's the Enterprise-D with bigger nacelles too close to the saucer.
HO-LY COW!! Totally figured it out.
Cumberbatch is the MIRROR Kirk from the Mirror Alternate Universe with the (evil) Mirror Enterprise!!!!
Than why in the previous shot that the ship was facing the Enterprise face to face?
