AlternateAccount posted:I am not sure a bizarro supernatural godlike character is the right way to go with star trek at this point. Then again, I didn't think the first movie was really good either, sooo... I'm pretty sure there were at least twenty bizarre supernatural godlike characters in just the original series. To say nothing of TNG or DS9.

Professor Clumsy posted:What's wrong with rocket boots? Absolutely Nothing. The 10 minute teaser in front of the Hobbit was fantastic and reminded me of what made the original Star Trek great in the first place. It definitely made me want to re-watch the first movie now.

I'm appalled by the lack of BSG mentions in this thread when it comes to decently written women in Scifi.

Showing a white guy, even if he's an alien, in a romantic relationship with a black woman is pretty progressive for Hollywood.

Holy poo poo, Into Darkness is a movie version of an insane TOS episode I'm pumped as hell.

Having just gotten out, I guess that I liked it. The pacing was haphazard as all get out, and the movie just sort of ends with no real resolution, but I enjoyed it well enough.

Snak posted:I think that Khan just knows a dangerous opponent when he sees one and wanted to get rid of Kirk and his ship before while he had the chance. You can handwave him beaming kirk and friends back to the enterprise by the fact that it was just convenient to do, coordinants already in the transporter etc and then he wouldn't have to crush their heads individually. Incidentally, Khan crushing Admiral Marcus's head off-camera is conveyed amazingly by the other character's reactions to it. Carol's scream, coupled with Kirks head tilting "holy loving poo poo did that just happen" look are very effective. To be honest, the thing that bugs me the most in the entire film (not necessarily the biggest flaw) is that when Khan reveals his identity he just says "My name is Khan" and it's all super dramatic. It's nice that Kirk doesn't recognize the name or give a poo poo, but why does he only give his first name? It almost feels like they just thought "the audience knows who Khan is, we'll just call him that". I really expected him to say "my name is Khan Noonien Singh". Longer names naturally make for a more dramatic delivery, and Cumberbatch just saying "Khan" felt really odd. Khan saying his first name is a moment that is more important to the audience than to the characters, which is why it was written that particular way.
