Star Trek

I haven't watched the latest movie because I hate prequels and I don't think I'll watch "Into Darkness".

I thought I would hate it, I was prepared to hate it, I went to the movie prepared to whine and pick the entire time. I'm so attached to Kirk, I really didn't think I could handle anyone else portraying him or messing with classic Trek cannon but I was surprisingly ok with it. There were aspects I didn't love but as a whole, I rather enjoyed it. I thought Karl Urban was going to be an utter failure as McCoy, nothing against the man, I just thought it was odd casting again, Shatner is Kirk, no one else should even try but both actors did respectable jobs. They will never eclipse the original actors for me but I was able to live with them.

I don't like the new Kirk and a few plot points in the new movie were way to Star Wars, don't get me wrong I love SW but I don't want it mixing with ST. Now they say Abrams is going to direct the new SW !!!I guess since he made ST too SW he can't ruin SW too much unless he makes it toooooo ST...

I don't know, I am excited about Into Darkness but mainly because I hope it will be better and that young Kirk will not be so annoying. Although it does bug me a whole lot that the name is 'Star Trek Into Darkness' and not 'Star Trek: Into Darkness' that JJ guy is messing with everything

I too, am hoping Kirk settles down a little in the next movie. I'm hoping he adopts the more quiet, confident cockiness of the 'real' Kirk instead of the brash, in your face energy the young one has. I'm hoping now that he's made his point that he's brilliant and mighty, he can take it down a notch.

Having Abrams do both Star Wars and Star Trek does seem a bit incestuous. Maybe it will be a good thing though, if he can make a Star Wars movie, then maybe he will be content to make a Star Trek movie.
