Star Trek Into Darkness (The Big Bad Star Trek (X)II Thread)

This one is really cool.

[stewdog1 50]

I'm glad we finally have a poster with the Enterprise on it. Something sorely lacking since First Contact..

[stewdog1 50]

Oops, forgot about that one. I was thinking of the faces poster.

[crocodile 9,724]

I am probably the only person on this planet that thinks this poster is pretty cool.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

Its manure!

[stewdog1 50]

Karol

The STID one? I like it!

Although it looks too realistic if that makes any sense. It should be a little more stylized.

[crocodile 9,724]

No, the 2009 one.

Karol

[stewdog1 50]

No, the 2009 one.

Karol

Yeah, not a fan.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

Oops, forgot about that one. I was thinking of the faces poster.

that one is easy to forget since it's a complete piece of shit poster.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

Amen Brotha Joe!

[JoeinAR 1,957]

farewell Enterprise, we barely knew you.

[Brónach 1,330]

Karol

The difference between this and the other shitty posters is that this one is based around simple idea that works and it doesn't hurt the eyes. So yeah I prefer this.

I actually have a thing for simple posters that try to express the most with the least elements.

[Jay 46,241]

Like this one?

you have to be joking because nothing you said makes a bit of sense.

[Brónach 1,330]

Poster with shape of the Enterprise at warp: simple. Watchable.

All of the posters for Star Trek Into Darkness: terrible and boring.

[gkgyver 1,647]

Well, posters for remakes are usually easy to make.

Posters for sequels to remakes, not so much.

[Brónach 1,330]

Just saw the poster with the falling Enterprise. It's the fist serious try I see for this film!

it's not at warp in that poster.

[Brónach 1,330]

It isn't?

I think in the film it that a similar effect of lines when it was at warp but I'm not sure.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

maybe its going backwards

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

That Star Trek 2009 Enterprise poster doesnt resemble any warp or impulse effect in the canon!

Maybe if the nacelles have a leak and Interon Particles hit tacyons drifting through subspace such an effect is plausible but unlikely.

[Brónach 1,330]

Maybe the warp isn't represented in the back so we can distinguish the ship.

[Ollie 1,375]

I could count on one finger how many times I've been in a movie theatre or standing in line and heard someone complain about a poster.

[Brónach 1,330]

I'd need several fingers because of me.

[crocodile 9,724]

Well, I don't give a shit what most people say. I like it.

Am I the only person who still thinks that the title 'Into Darkness' is absolute crap?

What I've seen of the plot is hardly original, and apparently it's all top secret anyway, so they can't come up with a better title... but everything in film nowadays is 'darker' and more gritty, so that's the title.

Seems about as meaningless as 'Game of Shadows' for the Sherlock sequel.

[Ollie 1,375]

I could count one hand.........

Absolutely agreed. It's a brilliant title if the effect they're going for is to disinterest me intensely.

I - REALLY - CAN - NOT - STAND Modern Movie Syndrome with its dark and gritty stupidity on subjects that really aren't served well by it.

"Dark and gritty" is interpreted completely the wrong way.

There are parts of the old "The Adventures of Robin Hood" that are quite serious and nasty and look how colourful THAT film is.

To me, if they just go with unfun, literally dark stuff, it creates a substantial detachment on my part.

Not to mention that the REAL world is NOT that dark. I still remember the review of the 1962 Mutiny on the Bounty which faulted that film for being too brightly coloured.

Except that those type of islands they visited there really DO look like that. I know; I've seen them.

And the Pirates of the Caribbean films were shot in the actual Caribbean and they made it look like the North Sea.

Just look at the "Making Of" documentaries for what it REALLY looks like. So WHY do they mess around with this so much???

And what's so cool about "dark and gritty" anyway? Especially when EVERYTHING has to be "dark and gritty". Enough already!

[Brónach 1,330]

Actually I think the title so far is the most original thing about the film, unless you cut it down to "Into Darkness". Here they did that because the word play didn't work.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

I don't see more dark and gritty films than I have at any point in my 33 years of life. (23 if you discount pre-sentient life )

[Pieter Boelen 1,032]

But there's a very distinct effect these days where some films are dark and gritty that truly shouldn't be.

Even light-hearted entertainment has to be dark and gritty these days. That's not right.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

I still hope it's good but I'm prepared for the worst.

[Richard P 5,302]

It's not just the idea that everything now has to be dark, serious, all-stakes; but that in this case, they couldn't find anything better to describe the plot - which from what I've seen is because it doesn't have one we haven't seen a million times before.

[Brónach 1,330]

The only part I don't understand from the trailers is where JH is leading Kirk and co. and why.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

The Swarm?

[Brónach 1,330]

That's cool. Pity the setting of that scene is irrelevant and a mere excuse.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

Well...it's not completely irrelevant. There's actually important character development in that shot in the poster actually.

[Delorean90 47]

Runaway Trek?

The StarTrek Redemption?

[Brónach 1,330]

Well...it's not completely irrelevant. There's actually important character development in that shot in the poster actually.

I know, I'm referring to the volcano. That shot makes me think on some sort of climatic scene but it's just in the prologue setting up a theme for the film. I have no idea what they might have come up with for the ending.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

Voyager did the swarm already.

[Ollie 1,375]

He's making it rain for the green chicks....

Since when do titles have to directly describe the plot? I'd say about 99% of the them don't.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

Do Star Trek titles describe the movie?

X Star Trek The Motion Picture

More like Star Trek The Motionless Picture

√ Star Trek The Wrath of Khan

Khan is indeed Wrathful.

√ Star Trek The Search for Spock

The gang does indeed search for Spock

√ Star Trek The Voyage Home

[EDIT] Joey reminded me they actually voyage home.

X Star Trek The Final Frontier

What the ever-loving fuck?

DRAW Star Trek The Undiscovered Country

There is indeed Shakespeare quoted in the movie. But it's a bit of a stretch for the content of the film...though I guess the Klingon-Federation alliance could be an undiscovered country. But really it isn't undiscovered, because we have been exploring it in TNG.

√ Star Trek Generations

There are indeed generations of people in this movie...though I would personally go with "Star Trek Stopping the Madman Who Wants to Destroy a Planet"

√ Star Trek First Contact

First Contact with the Vulcans is an important plot point of this movie

X Star Trek Insurrection

More like Star Trek Forever Young and Light Insubordination

X Star Trek Nemesis

Nemesis "the inescapable agent of someone's downfall." Picard does not fall down.

√ Star Trek

There is some Trekking between stars.

[Ollie 1,375]

Frankly film titles that have "Motion Picture" or "The Movie" in them are rather dumb.

I mean, no shit, right?

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

Drives me insane.
