Star Trek Into Darkness, in theaters May 17, 2013

[big F]

The next big thing will be black & white silent film.

Then the next next big thing will be flick books, the ultimate in energy savings and torrent proof.

First Look At A New Star Trek Sequel Klingon

First Look At A New Star Trek Sequel Klingon

That barely counts. One blurry tiny picture and we already kinda saw that Klingon's look before.

[azrael]

Heck, we get a better look at the Abrams-Klingons from this deleted scene than that screenshot:

Thanks for the links to the vids about the Klingons.

Glad that they cut that scene - adds absolutely nothing and would've destroyed any moment (ha! and that's without even knowing where it'd fit in!)

I'm totally disliking the Klingon costumes. I can appreciate that they save money in makeup... but... if an episodic TV show can do it, so, too can the movie. (Unless if they're saving a big reveal - such as the human-looking Klingons that they briefly touched on in DS9 and STE.)

that makes more sence that the Klingons on RP would the flats, if you consider in some of the recent novels, how the authors made the flats as second-class citizens. But when you also consider what JJ himself might do, they might remain wth helms...

though a better, and less-means-more kinda of thinking, for me, is that if Klingons have a place in the next movie, its either you see TMP-era Klingons, TOS-era Klingons or both and by less-means-more, i mean they won't go into the why both exist and instead simply just make it sutle that the flats ARE treated as 2nd-class citizens via dialog and acting. Stick with the story and let the visuals explain any treknoable like the previous movie's success...

Well, since the film finally has a title, it's probably time that it had its own thread.

[lechuck]

That title has a certain irony to it...

Sequel Title Confirmed – ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’

[Keith]

Whatever it's called, as long as it's as least as good as the last one, I'm there.

So.....are we cool then?

eclectic Anime fans talking about the new ST movie on the internet? We make Fonzy look like current era Henry Winkler.

It doesn't even have to be quite as good - as long as he tones down the lense flare...

[derex3592]

My a** is in a seat in the theater for this 100%. In JJ I trust. kinda....

[Mommar]

The lens flare was fine. It was the stupid circumstances getting to and then on the ice planet when Kirk conveniently met Scotty and Spock and the Star Wars-like CGI creature chase just before that I have a much bigger issue with.

That didn't bother me, perhaps it should have, but the idea that Spock could see Vulcan be destroyed - without any technological help - from a star system away (say a light year at least) less then a day after it occurs is interesting to say the least.

In the theater the Lense Flare actually hurt my eyes - the last time a movie made me slightly ill like that was Dick Tracy with all the primary colors. (Batman and Robin only gets a pass on this since I did not see it in the theater, but even on the small screen that one made me quesy)

[Kelsain]

Nah, that was just the effect Batman & Robin had on everybody.

[anime52k8]

I love dick tracy, admittedly it was a dumb movie but the art direction was amazing.

[derex3592]

I didn't even ever NOTICE the lens flares in Star Trek until all the crazies on here pointed them out! I just enjoyed the hell out of the movie as a fresh take on Star Trek!

[David Hingtgen]

I noticed it in the first second of the film, it was glaringly obvious to me, and distracting.

Wow, that bad huh? I'm going to have to look for the lens flare next time I watch it-I never noticed it before...

I noticed it right away too, I just didn't care.

Actually that's what I meant to say...

[troyness]

Sh*t........Klingons, exactly what I didn't want, I,ll still go see it but.......thanx for taking a giant sh*t on me JJ!!Can I say sh*t more?

[Mommar]

What's wrong with Klingon's? They're a big part of Trek.

[troyness]

Each to their own I just think they've being over exposed in the TV series , I always found myself thinking "not another Klingon episode"

But I'm sure it will be good

I'm not looking forward to them because of the silly masks thing.

Hmmm, overexposed, eh? I think I'll be a bit more satisfied with their appearance if (big IF) they don't perpetuate the warrior-society stereotype that TNG basically pigeonholed them as. Scientist Klingon? Mechanic Klingon? Klingon who doesn't say "it's a good day to die" and fret about honour? More variety, please!

[troyness]

Exactly what you said sketchley,but I fear the TNG pigeonhole damage has already been done, all I can hope for now is more character development, action scenes, and a story arc that I can't predict.

Didn't TOS Trek already establish this before?

I'm trying to recall the source of it, but nothing's coming to mind. Someone posted on this site a link to, in short, how the producers/writers of TNG got ideas stuck in their head from the TOS, and as time passed, altered things significantly. Aside from the change to the Klingons, the other one that comes to mind is how one of Kirk's lines about attending Starfleet Academy altered over time to EVERYONE (not just officers, which I think was the intent of the line) has to attend the Academy. On Earth.

If anyone remembers the link to it, it would be greatly appreciated.

I love the "how it should have ended series."
