Foster, huh. And the book adds nothing to the movie experience? I wonder if this is the trend now. I made the mistake of picking up the TDKR novelization, and it too seemed to be nothing more than...

Novelization of the movie? Who's it by?

Speaking of books, I wonder if Greg Cox's novel on Khan might be worth reading. It was written well before this movie, so I'm not sure how well it would...

Fascinating. :wink:

Didn't consider, or catch any of that, at all. Given Carol's interest in the torpedoes, and knowing that (at least in the other timeline) she goes on to have involvement in...

No rush. I was gonna reply to your post, but then thought it might look to others like I was nuts and debating myself.

Initially, for a moment, I actually thought I had, in some kind of mental...

Post 2265 (the last post on the previous page) is being attributed to me, but it looks like a response from someone else (Talcy?) to my post. Is it my browser that's messing up, or me making some...

With ST, you're meaning its related because of the time travel angle, right? That's true, but it still feels like its basically a reboot. Despite the idea of a new timeline forming and previous...

I found the violence/torture to be too much, as well. I agree that if they haven't found a way to really bring back something fresh and imaginative, I might not end up sticking with it.

Hey, look, I might be just as f'ing exasperated as you. I'm just wondering how you were so certain about this when the movie isn't out yet. To my eyes and ears, it didn't seem like Zod was going to...

Hey, are you buddies with Zack Snyder or something? How'd you get to see Man of Steel already? :D

I saw that you said "origin aside", but given that the trailers seem to indicate a definite beef...

But the audience is.



The scene where he states he is injecting Khan's blood into it because it has restorative properties has a giant "Remember This Bit Because It Will Matter Later On" sign...

Implies? Maybe. I don't think any definition of the word includes a description of what amount, less or more, is required. Like TWOK, this is a movie featuring Khan. This is the same series, Star...

Easy meaning that people are loving the action and character interaction, and are finding these movies consistently entertaining, but its the Khan/TWOK stuff that's creating scrutiny and...

We know these guys are huge fans of TWOK. It's homage, not theft.


Well, I've seen TWOK, and I'm not bothered by it.


It's easy to call anything we don't like lazy. That's not fair or...

Okay, so, yeah...like I was saying above, there was a lot to take in. I was about to say, "I'm not sure where to start", but I guess the traditional place would be at the beginning.

When I saw...

So I saw the movie. A lot to take in and process. I will post later today with specific, detailed thoughts.

The theater experience itself went pretty smoothly. The '09 movie ran from 9-11pm. ...

This has never made much sense to me. Yeah, if Superman's always facing off against bank robbers, he's God-like. But so is Batman against common thugs. If Superman's facing off against Doomsday,...

From the beginning, I felt one of the greatest weaknesses of the show was stretching a story over 24 episodes, resulting in the need for a lot of filler and increasing melodrama to fill up the hours....

IM and IM2 are close for me. I'd probably call the first a better movie, though in favor of the second, I thought Cheadle was a massive improvement over Howard, loved seeing War Machine fighting...

Well, at least you got some fun from it. I know you had a bad feeling about this one based on some of what you heard, and even considered swearing off ST for the near future. Maybe you're still of...

Looking forward to reading your thoughts. I'll be at midnight showing wed night/thurs morning, so I probably won't be posting my thoughts until thursday afternoon after work. Or, if I'm awake...

I don't remember saying that they were "everything". They're certainly not nothing, either.

I've enjoyed the tv spots and trailers, I'm glad to see that so far its been well-received from...

I'm getting more and more excited as we get closer to the movie premiering over here. 90% currently at RT, which is cool to see. Watched TWOK last week and the '09 ST (with commentary track on)...

Sin City - 3/4 stars
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - 4/4 stars
Cinderella Man - 3.5/4 stars
The Proposition - 2.5/4 stars
Iron Man 3 - 2/4 stars

It's these kinds of continuity issues that prompted them to spinoff this new timeline. They concocted the time travel explanation, rather than just rebooting, so that fans wouldn't be up and arms...

This reminds me...I was actually more bothered by Nimoy's performance in the '09 Trek. I seem to remember him exuding a hell of a lot more emotion than I can ever remember in his past performances. ...

So I think I'm gonna buy a ticket for a double feature they're doing on Wed the 15th at Regal. $14 to see the '09 movie and then STID after that in 3D at midnight doesn't seem bad. Only problem is...

:laughing: Man, you have given this a comprehensive look. Never would given any thought to something like that with the female augments. Speaking of which, watched Space Seed recently and, boy, I...

High praise. I'm hoping to see it tomorrow night or Saturday. If I do, will definitely post some thoughts here or in the Iron Man thread.

Yeah, I haven't seen/heard that anywhere. But I'm wondering if its something more subtle, with hints in the movie but no one coming out and saying it.

LT, a lot of interesting thoughts. I...

Yeah, for Trek fans offers a definite spoiler with that detail. Though...
I guess I still wonder, though, even if he identifies himself as Khan in the movie, whether there's still the possibility...

I'm going to stay away for now, Talcy. I might have seen what you posted about, but I was trying to be selective at IMDB with what I was reading (mainly looking for who BC's character might be), so...

I felt that before I saw any of the trailers. From the glimpses we've gotten, I feel like they definitely have something to say and are not doing the origins just to do them. I don't think there is...

Actually, as Talcy said, reviews have been favorable. So I wouldn't panic or worry.

As far as things being "nuke the fridge" bad, I find it hard to be too concerned after seeing...

I guess I'm still uncertain. I've only seen one person mention spoilers concerning the villain, and that was on the IMDB forum, and she has since deleted her posts. I haven't seen anyone else...

Watched about half of Sin City last night, a recent pick-up on BD. Not as great as I was remembering, though I think I did prefer the second half whenever I first saw it. I guess I'll find out...

^^^ It's the latter I'm actually excited about, which would be something new for the movies. The former I'm less certain about.

Talcy, thanks for elaborating. I do have some thoughts and will...

On IMDB forums, and again this could be completely false, someone was saying the story involves:

Starfleet/Section 31 having found Botany Bay and using Khan's crew/family as leverage to force him...

And here's another review. Neither this review, nor the one I posted above make any mention of who the villain is.

Here's a review from IGN. I think there are just minor spoilers.

I agree. It was both. That's kind of my point. It was too much of the same damned thing. And yeah, it sucked. So if they keep things varied with SW, as I was suggesting in my previous post, I...

Yeah, I'm pretty pumped for this.

I knew Nolan had initiated this, but I was still grinning when I read a recent interview with Goyer in which he described exactly how they got involved. He was...

So no thoughts on the most recent Man of Steel trailer? 3 minutes, and pretty damned awesome. As cool as I thought the newest STID trailer was, this one impressed me more. I'm not sure which movie...

I'm not concerned about that at this stage, given how little of the movie potential has been mined. I don't think they'll have any trouble finding stories for ep VII-IX. With the standalones, I've...

I'm assuming they're going with different directors and writers for each one, right, so that we're not looking at one creative team having to rush from, say, ep VII to having to put out the next...

Well, there's an Indian version of the show coming, apparently.

Abrams didn't write ST, though. Just directed and produced.

Glad you liked it! Given how much you enjoyed it, does this change your anticipation level for the next SW movie, given that Abrams is directing?


I think waiting for the next ST movie is...

I like what you posted a lot. Would love to see that (and wouldn't mind if the threat was not completely vanquished in this movie with some fallout continuing in the next). I've been wondering the...

Admittedly, I'd have never thought of that specific nebula, either. Alone, with no other context, I can't think of any reason for it to come to mind. But when much discussion has been centered on...

Interesting that you post that. After watching the new trailer, I was thinking about the DS9 episode Defiant, in which the Cardassian Obsidian Order was amassing a fleet (along with Romulan...
