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? |

I still liked it. In this case, the movie was an adaptation of a universe based on a set of stories, which had been re-imagined, remade, retold, and revamped dozens of times on film and television. There is no "hardcare" Sherlock Holmes fan (at least I have yet to meet one) that complained that those movies are hardly at all in the TRUE spirit of Sherlock Holmes, because the character and the setting has been done dozens of different ways. Not so for Star Trek. Like it or not, there IS a standard that should at least be considered when doing these movies. You can recast it. Fine. You can change the course of events in the timeline. Uhh... okay, sure, why not? You can apply different roles and functions for each character and element. Excellent, that's exactly what you should be doing. But you should NOT try to make a Frankenstein's monster of different lines and references all while uncreatively inversing the roles instead of changing them and creating something NEW. That's the problem I have with it. That doesn't mean it wasn't fun and entertaining. But it doesn't mean it's a good movie. |

Saw it tonight. I can understand why some really don't like it. It entertained me as a movie goer but as a Trek fan it did fall kind of short for me in the third act.
Spoiler!
That being said, this cast is still great and I'll take it for what it is. I really entertaining popcorn flick.

Just saw it. I was entertained, but the script is really shit. There was no resolution. By the time the denouement was underway I didn't yet realize that the climax had ended.

0-2 so far for me with summer blockbusters. I didn't really like IM3 and same with this movie. Hopefully Man of Steel gets the crappy taste out of my mouth and go 1-2.

To be fair, by "the script is really shit," I mean that it is really, truly terrible. This is a horrible movie.

Reaper, you're my boy.
The movie had absolutely zero emotional payoff. Oh, Kirk died saving the Enterprise, and Spock had a generic fistfight and they captured Khan. Oh and Kirk was predictably resurrected? Oh. Ok. Well, that was cool. I guess.

I saw it Sunday. I've been busy as ****, but I had some thoughts.
I really can't disagree with the haters, but I probably have lower standards than you guys. I liked (not necessarily loved) it. I had a big douchey grin on my face the whole time. I thought the story was good enough. They did a good job with the character development and of course the graphics were good. I left entertained and that is what I paid for. |

Abrams needs to learn that "making an alternate version of an already existing Star Trek story but reversing some character roles" does not make for a good idea. This whole movie was

It really doesn't get any deeper than that. Then there are the dozens of plot holes.
Spoiler!
I'm not even a Star Trek fan. I've probably seen less than twenty full episodes of TNG and the other series I've seen less than 5 full episodes of each. So I'm not having an angry fanboy reaction. I'm having an angry moviegoer reaction. |

He'd better not be. Or rather, only if that sick girl from the opening scene is. But, yeah, the world is ostensibly without death, a fact that will be completely forgotten about in the next one.
