Star Trek: The Star Trek Part 2

[Abraham Smashington]

hahah.

Also, I'm not a huge Trek guy like some people are so maybe that's why I'm still in the boat of 'OMG THIS LOOKS AWESOME" when I see the trailers and read the updates.

[B_Metal]

Nah, I think it's because it genuinely looks pretty awesome so far. Doesn't mean it won't shit the bed, but from a PR standpoint they've nailed it thus far in my book.

Krol's gonna krol

Yeah yeah yeah...BASTARD!

Anyway, on to Rob's legitimate question...

I read that thing about on CHUD today (yeah, I know...) and it seems like they're trying to do Wrath of Khan without all the stuff that made that movie such a classic.

What made Kahn so great was it just wasn't a cool space adventure (which it was); it explored a theme we hadn't seen before in action movies, which was middle-age and reconciling the past. The stuff I read this morning (this guy being Kahn, someone dying and coming back to life, etc), sounds like they're just copying the "cool" elements of Khan. Elements that only worked in the unique situation that was the original Wrath of Khan.

[Abraham Smashington]

ah, ok. I can see having issues with that then. That makes sense.

[B_Metal]

I hope they pull it off but that doesn't sound good. Judgement reserved.

Yeah, exactly. I liked the first one Abrams did, but I don't think the youthful cast will work in this context.

[B_Metal]

More lens flare?

[BMichaelKrol]

Josh, that was beneath you.

  Spoiler: Fuck Bob Orci 

Cumberbatch = Khan = Bin Laden
Attack in London = 9/11
Federation = U.S. Government
The Klingons = Iraq

All an inside job to invade the Klingons.

Rogue Federation members (including Peter Weller) force Khan into movement or else they will kill his followers. He and Kirk/Enterprise team up. At some point, Kirk dies... and Khan's blood brings him back to life. So the rumors go.

Trailer looks great (love the 'I'm sorry' line and moment from Kirk), but that storyline sounds ass.

[Abraham Smashington]

that's a fucking badass trailer.

SUPERMAN GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER.

[Timothy225]

Gotta go with Rerb - trailer was pretty impressive. If Jamie's right about the story though, meh.

[Abraham Smashington]

Make sure to keep all story shit spoilered from here on out. I want to go in knowing no more than what I do now.

What about the anal? Do you want us to spoil that part of the plot for you?
