Movie Trailers: Star Trek: Into Darkness - International Trailer

[wooty]

This trailer successfully sold me watching 'Sherlock' TV series.

Not sure if that's the intended effect.

Probably not the intended effect, but it will be a very good move if you do.

OT: I will go and see this, I've not been the flicks in a while and I'm just glad that Cumberbatch is finally getting the recognition he deserves for being a good actor. I'm glad he never turned down the Sherlock role now, its probably the single best thing the BBC have produced since Life on Mars.

....

Was that supposed to be Khan? It certainly looked... and sounded... and acted... and operated... and... everythinged like Khan, but without Khan's backstory.

Unless Starfleet unfroze a war criminal and said "hey, wanna be a secret agent?"

I was seriously hoping that they were going to include a bit of new!Kirk yelling "Khan!" just to clarify. We never (that I recall) got the Khan-like guy's name. Why hide the name unless they were planning a big reveal like Kirk shouting Khan?

Just this. That is all. Conversation over. KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN.

But thinking about it for a moment, Khan was in Star Trek 2 (Hey, the film was named after him!), so having him in the new Star Trek 2 makes sense in a 'gratify the fans' kinda way. Not that that ever affected anything.

I gotta ask, what's with the British flags still hanging in London? Isn't this supposed to be the future where there are no nations and everyone is united under the federation? Or are people so stupid that they can't recognize London without the Union Jack?

Actually, I didn't catch it, either. Neither did I recall seeing most of the typical landmarks: Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, that giant ferris wheel on the Thames. Maybe in the full movie these things show up but the Union Jack was the only thing that told me London until it was specifically named in this trailer. I always figured it was San Francisco, since Starfleet HQ/Academy and the Golden Gate Bridge are the only parts of earth ever shown at any time in Star Trek. Keep in mind these are the same guys who had the Enterprise built in Iowa rather than show Kirk anywhere other than the exact place where he grew up.

Don't think I noticed the Union Jack, but in the scene where the craft destroys the conference I'm sure there were UN flags in there. Which is completely wrong if you follow Trek lore. After WW3, and with the arrival of the Vulcans, all the governments(that were left) agreed to form one body, then go on to become the Federation.

Once again it looks like we may have more lens-flare than plot. I hope they greenlight a new series soon so Star Trek can go back to being based on science, politics, and philosophy.

I did notice the Union Flag. I don't know too much about Trek lore, but I would guess that just like each of the states in the US has a state flag, each of the states in the Federation probably kept their own flags and used them for ceremonial stuff. But that's just a thought.

It would have to go a long way back to do that.

Deep Space Nine wasn't that long.... oh, nearly twenty years ago. Voyager had moments of greatness in it. Can't speak for Enterprise, but then it was Enterprise, not Star Trek: Enterprise.
