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

[Brónach 1,330]

It is. That Enterprise is not believable.

Notice the scene where Spock takes an elevator to the bridge in mere seconds from the other side of the ship.

And why do they need so many lights everywhere?

[Jay 46,241]

Hah, never noticed that elevator thing

[Brónach 1,330]

I saw it in the absolutely brilliant Plinkett review of the film.

[Jay 46,241]

I've got to watch more of those

[Wojo 2,458]

Spock's short turbolift ride to the bridge is shortened for cinematic effect. Sure, it's truncated, and is really filmed with him already at the bridge with a moveable wall that slides away. But turbolift rides are often plot devices for conversations, and Vulcans rarely talk to themselves.

I get more annoyed when years of TV series forget how many decks their ships have in the movies.

[Jay 46,241]

But the movies come after the shows. Did you reverse what you meant to say?

Here's a completely spoiler-free review:

Part of the review says "The film was so new the credits hadn’t been properly completed" - weird, then why show it?

I wonder how much Giacchino's score is mucked with in the final cut

[Pieter Boelen 1,032]

They just got out of the water, I think, and ran to the bridge.

Couldn't even do a transporter uniform swap? LAME!

[Brónach 1,330]

I've got to watch more of those

They're good enough to make reviews of the reviews.

There's a new clip, and is that Gia trying to do Klingon music???

[Jonesy 55]

This is the new clip, right?

Giacchino's music sounds interesting, btw.

It's like a cross between Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica (new series)

[Wojo 2,458]

Nice Defiant forerunner.

[Brónach 1,330]

Touché.

[Rachael Foley 10,162]

Very interesting sound to the score (in terms of mixing).

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

That is the worst looking starship I have seen. God. That is ugly. Ugly. Ugly. WHY?

*barf* Fanboy made 3D models are better looking! Who the hell would approve such a travesty? It doesn't even look menacing. It looks like crrrraaaap.

[Brónach 1,330]

The horizontal decks of these ships always seemed a bit stupid to me.

[Pieter Boelen 1,032]

LOL! Evil Federation ship!

[Brónach 1,330]

And why does a ship have to look "evil" anyway? It's stuuupid.

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[Brónach 1,330]

They had different colours but I'm not sure now. Helium = blue, Zodanga = red.

Is it me, or does anyone else see the shape of the Serenity from Firefly in the engineering section of the ship? It seems pretty obvious to me. Maybe Cumberbatch is a Reever.

[Wojo 2,458]

Right, just like Captain Malcolm is a Reever because he commands the Serenity.

[Rachael Foley 10,162]

Not to sound like a complete doofus, but...where is the engineering section in that picture, exactly?

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

Engineering is in the secondary hull. That's the cylindrical lower section to which the engines (warp drives) are attached.

[Wojo 2,458]

Also called the stardrive. I would love to see this mirror Enterprise (or this ebony monstrosity) separate from its saucer, because I suspect Abrams would throw that whole "we need a star base to reconnect" out the airlock.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

Not to sound like a complete doofus, but...where is the engineering section, exactly?

in a budweiser plant.

[Trent B 354]

Traditionally Engineering has been in the secondary hull. Although I think for the TOS Enterprise it was in the saucer section, I don't quite remember. Then again that is if there is a primary and secondary hull. If there is no secondary hull like Archer's Enterprise then there you go...

lmao

[Alan 767]

That image of the ship is from official sources?! The textures on the hull look like something from Babylon 5! Surely that can't be a final film image?

[Trent B 354]

I actually just looked up an official cross section of the TOS Enterprise and Engineering is in the secondary hull and not the saucer section like I thought.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

CLIP!

And you can hear bits of the Harrison theme!

[JoeinAR 1,957]

star trek, nothing but star trek, nothing but star trek, staaaar treek.

[Brónach 1,330]

Great atmosphere with the music under the dialogue.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

You shut your dirty mouth!

[JoeinAR 1,957]

I use Orbit gum

all my kind do anything described as FABULOUS!

[Ollie 1,375]

Can't wait.

[Rachael Foley 10,162]

Actually makes me think of the early Khan material in STII (NO ITS NOT AS GREAT AS HORNER'S SCORE JOEY)

[Jay 46,241]

Montage of all 9 character posters

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

No one posted the new clip? THE MUSIC! THE MUSIC THAT STARTS AT THE END! I WANT TO HEAR IT! WHY VARESE? WHY IS IT DELAYED?!

[Jay 46,241]

The music in that clip is nothing to be excited about.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

How about this new music:

Did you hear that timpani roll at the end? DID YOU HEAR WHAT TIMPANIS WITHOUT DAN WALLIN SOUND LIKE?!

What about this new music Jason?

0:40-0:50 sounds awesome, long woodwind lines over action music? Yesssss.

What must I do to please your standards?!

[crocodile 9,724]

So first we're getting a shot of Alice Eve in her underwear and now we learn she's a scientist?

Kinda like Dennise Richards in that Bond film.

Karol

[Jay 46,241]

Now we're talking! I heard a new variation of the ST09 theme in there!

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

I posted a second clip with some really new (not even from '09) for your pleasure.

[Jay 46,241]

Karol, its been known for a long time that Alice Eve was playing Carol Marcus. Haven't you ever seen The Wrath of Khan? In that movie Carol Marcus was the scientist working on the Genesis project that also happens to be the mother of Kirk's kid.

[crocodile 9,724]

I didn't know who she was playing, just seen her with a bra and that was all I knew. SPOILERS!

Karol

[Ollie 1,375]

Gotta love Scotty.

[Jay 46,241]

Watched the second clip Blume posted. Now we're really talking! Bring on Saturday night!

[JoeinAR 1,957]

what's saturday night?

[Jay 46,241]
