Star Trek 2: Into Darkness (May 16, 2013)

[Boyiee]

Saw it tonight, liked it a ton better than the first. Felt it was paced better and smoother. Not as many boring lows or slow parts like the first, even though most of those were for character introduction and development. It was unfortunately predictable though but it was done in a way that the movie was solidly entertaining throughout. Loved the homage to the series with certain lines and shit just like the first. Well done movie in almost every aspect. Still love the cast. Looking forward to more.

Other thoughts...

Didn't need stupid alien scenes, don't care about volcano cause it looked cool. Ship wasn't really that deep underwater, big deal. Really not much I didn't like if anything, outside of retarded look at these weird looking aliens or voices or them making out. Star wars does that same shit, it's stupid. I don't mind having different species, but did he really need to wake up with cats? Dumb random shit thrown in.

Cold fusion stopping volcanos? Bitches please, you're debating what cold fusion can or cannot do. The existence of cold fusion PERIOD is as unlikely as the existence of faster than light travel. If you're cool with warp drive, you're cool with ice volcano. They're both LITERALLY as likely as using crystal powered homeopathy to cure cancer. It's a movie.

Magic potion bringing someone back to life and then everyone magically forgetting about it? What are you, new? Shit happens every other episode of every campy sci-fi show ever made.

It was a fun movie. If you're analyzing the physics of Star Trek you're doing something AWFUL. Might as well go analyze the physics of FFXI.



No.

Edit: And if you have to ask why cold fusion isn't possible, in anything even resembling a universe governed by the laws of physics as we know them, you shouldn't be in a physics debate period.

haha

Pretty big Star Trek fan, physicist, and general sci-fi fan.

Should a spaceship do anything underwater besides collapse into smashybits? No. Nobody is going to build a spaceship that can withstand pressures greater than a generic planet's atmosphere at most. That being said, fuck it who cares.

I approve this message.

P.much what I was trying to say, Sath. Can't really nitpick something like that in a movie that already defies the laws of physics.

[Rhyis.]

So unrealistic.

[6souls]

So there has been some controversy over Alice Eve being in her undies for a snippet, as a response, J.J. showed a clip of a deleted scene of Benedict Cumberbatch taking a shower while he visited Conan.

Spoiler: show

My nigga Sath dropping physics bombs

saw it yesterday and loved it,

Spoiler: show

a few callbacks were a bit on the nose, I mean cutting and pasting the dialogue in the reactor room, but reversing roles, having spock yell KHAAAAAAN, seemed personally more lazy than "oh look references" but ymmv. Also certain things seemed to kind of blatantly forecast their importance later. "What are you doing Bones? Oh just putting magic blood in a dead tribble?"

[Souj]

Just finished watching it and thought it was great.

Spoiler: show

I've never seen the original Wrath of Khan so I didn't know about the ending being the same except for reverse roles, so that didn't bother me.
There were some stupid plot things, but I only thought about them after the movie was over, with the exception of Bones injecting the animal thing with Khan's blood and the Old Spock thing.

They were all busy getting ready, but then Bones is like, "hang on a second. I'm going to inject this human blood into this animal for some reason." It telegraphed super blatantly that A) the blood can bring things back to life, and B)someone was going to die.

And I just don't understand the point of the Old Spock scene.

[Takedown3]

old spock was telling new spock how to defeat khan because they did it in the first WoK and new spock needed some tips. also nimoy needed to get dat money.

[Azull]

I think that was more to help the viewers understand how much of a badass Khan was.. if earlier events werent enough.
Loved the role reversal. Felt more powerful given who ended up yelling in rage. Also loved that there was more Simon Pegg... everything needs more Simon Pegg.

[kuronosan]

Honestly I didn't think the scene with Spock was necessary, given what occurred right afterwards.

[Tyrath]

Old Spock was obviously there for fanservice, pure and simple.

[Fiendishone]

but did he really need to wake up with cats? Dumb random shit thrown in.

Even if said cat was Jamie Chung (or at least a very close look a like?)?

[Eurell]

I don't mind having different species, but did he really need to wake up with cats?

I thought his whole deal was that he bangs aliens all the time.

[Rhyis.]

Kirks gonna Kirk.

Just a bunch of shit I felt the movie woulda been better without. Felt like bad starwars which is already bad so that's bad squared.

[Wulfgang]

I thought it was awesome; I would watch the shit out of a TV show with this cast.
