Star Trek Into Darkness
Release Date: May 13th
Synopsis: Benedict Cumberbatch�s mysterious villan unleashes terror and destruction on Earth, from within the Federation itself, and Chris Pine�s Kirk and Zachary Quinto�s Spock lead the manhunt to capture him. JJ Abrams directs, before moving on to Star Wars.
Our Thoughts:
Rob: Ender�s Game Trailer! Ender�s Game Trailer! Ender�s Game Trailer! Ender�s Game Trailer! Ender�s Game Trailer! Ender�s Game Trailer! Ender�s Game Trailer! Ender�s Game Trailer! Ender�s Game Trailer!
Dave: It may shock you to learn that, in many ways, I am a bit of a nerd. (Try to at least pretend to be shocked, ok?) I�ve watched a lot of Star Trek in my days. I was a little apprehensive when I heard they were going to reboot and recast TOS. (That�s �The Original Series�, for those of you who have more of a life than me) It seemed like a risky move to use the same characters and recast roles played by actors loved by nerds everywhere, but somehow they pulled it off. The first (rebooted) movie was great unlike a lot of franchises that attempt a reboot (I�m looking at you �Planet of the Apes�). Everything about it was brilliant. Great acting/casting, cool modern yet still slightly retro style, intriguing story line, and most importantly it left me excited for the next installment. This movie has got a lot to live up to, but based on the trailer, it looks like it should succeed.
Jennie: I�m really excited for this movie to come out. The last one was great (aside from a few of Eric Bana�s lines) and it had a wonderful ensemble cast. This trailer looks great and I love a big-budget science fiction movie. Especially one that actually does all their special effects well.
Nicki: I loved the first film and am really looking forward to this one. I also really enjoy Chris Pine�s interpretation of Kirk. Hopefully this one exceeds my expectations like the last one did.
Rob: Oh, did I mention the Ender�s Game trailer is attached to it?
