Star Trek 12 Gets Release Date
I'm not sure if its Star Trek 12 or Star Trek 2, but the release date is June 29, 2012.
http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2010/01/11...-nothing-else/ UPDATE: Paramount has confirmed to MTV that the projected release date for the "Star Trek" sequel is indeed June 29, 2012. This counts as news, but there's not much to it. We all know there's a "Star Trek" sequel coming. Hell, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, writers/producers of the May reboot, were talking about sequel possibilities as far back as the week after the first movie came out. Now we have a date to pin our hopes to: June 29, 2012. Nothing else is known or announced, so don't ask. Maybe director J.J. Abrams will return to helm the sequel, maybe he won't. Maybe Khan will be the villain, maybe not. For all we know, the plan is to give us an epic "Star Trek Meets Star Wars" crossover. Could happen, right? The news comes from a variety of sources, including Ain't It Cool News and Box Office Mojo, but there's no Paramount-issued press release that I can find. The information ran through some trustworthy sources, but we've yet to receive comment from the studio directly. Regardless, there really hasn't ever been any doubt that we'd be seeing more "Star Trek." Abrams' take on the series made it friendly to an entirely new, much wider audience than its ever known before. Were you anything less than certain that a "Star Trek" sequel was coming eventually? Where would you like the story to go from where it is now? Any specific hopes for the sequel? |

Yeah, I'll probably see it again just for the visuals...and to confirm that the last third of the movie is an abortion.

That's because Abrams isn't creative enough to pull off something like that, and even he isn't enough of a ripoff artist to just copy and paste that scene.

I'm starting to think that J.J.Abrams' storytelling is just way over your head. You think he is all about explosions and people falling from high places. |

I was completely emotionally uninvolved in this crap and sitting there smirking during the pivotal moment in the movie, knowing EXACTLY how it was going to play out. Embarrassing "story."

I just expect something original, not a ****ing rehash. It's weak, short-cut, cop-out story telling. JJ Abrams might as well be George Lucas at this point, telling us all THEY'RE POETRY, THEY RHYME!!!!

91% of the audience liked the 2009 Star Trek movie, and 89% of the audience likes Star Trek Into Darkness. The movies do even better with film critics: 95% of critics liked Star Trek, and 91% of them like Star Trek Into Darkness. So you can criticize JJ Abrams and these movies all you want. But you're stating your opinions as though they are facts. They aren't facts. They are opinions that are shared by a tiny minority of people. |

Yes, they're entertaining movies. That's why people like them.
But to compare them to Voyage Home or Undiscovered Country...get the **** out. PS - it's a fact that Abrams ripped the climax off this movie off. And it ****ing sucked. And it ruined the movie for me and a lot of other die-hard Trek fans. There better not be no Genesis Device in Star Trek: Out of Darkness, or whatever shitty title the third one has. Because, shit, they already have Carol Marcus in this one, so it's just a hop, skip and a jump to more ripoff stories!

Really liked it.
Loved the way the events of the first movie led to the expansion of section 31 (one of my favorite aspects of DS9) and the militarization of starfleet. Loved the way it led to the discovery of the botany bay years earlier than in the original timeline. Loved the way Section 31 used Khan. Loved the way that Kirk and Spock grew in different ways, and before the 5 year mission. Did not love the deus ex machina of Khan's blood, but they established very early on (like 10 min into the movie) that that's what was going to happen, so no shock. Spock's Wilhem scream was too much fan service, but that was basically him losing control of his emotions, and having Uhura help him regain control of himself was a nice circular resolution via role-reversal. All-in-all I think I enjoyed that as much as the 2009 Trek. Maybe will end up liking it more after repeat viewings, and I'm curious to see where they go next, since the 5 year mission will free them up to basically do whatever the hell they want. |

I liked it as well, except they didn't need to kill off/resurrect Kirk. My buds thought they sold Khan short, I thought it was well done.

I do like, since we're playing with alternate realities, the idea of certain things happening regardless, albeit in different ways. Sort of like Dr. Who's fixed moments in time. |

After all, we know what gets high ratings out of the 16 year old audiences seeing these new "Star Trek" movies nowadays... |
