Trailer: STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS (2013)

Monday, 17 December 2012

Why can't I get excited about Star Trek Into Darkness? It's all looks gorgeous and I can't wait to see this universe back on our screens, with this brilliant cast involved, and Benedict Cumberbatch as a sci-fi villain is an amazing choice. And yet... I just don't feel it yet. This theatrical trailer is much better than the "announcement trailer" that was released earlier, but we still don't have a proper sense of the storyline, or even WHO the villain is. It was recently revealed that Cumberbatch is playing a terrorist called John Harrison (so NOT Khan) and Alice Eve's playing Dr Carol Marcus (a character seen in Wrath of Khan, who was the mother of Kirk's son). I wish the trailers were a little more forthcoming about all of this, really. But yeah, it looks expensive and there are some nice shots, together with Cumberbatch's impression of an evil Jean-Luc Picard in the voice-over. What do you think?
