And I disagree that the next film will have a drastically reduced budget. Since this one will eventually be more successful than the first I would say it will be about the same as this one, maybe even a bit more. Hopefully it will come out in the next two years, probably with a new director. Nelson glad to hear you liked it better in IMAX 3D. That's always my choice whenever a film I want to see is in that format. Next up is Man Of Steel.Star Trek Into Darkness ranked sixth with an estimated $11.7M, off only 30%, putting it into the double century club at $200.1M from North America. The Paramount hit collected an estimated $17.6M from international markets led by China and boosted the overseas cume to $176.4M and the worldwide tally to $358M.

Good writing and storytelling is usually given short shrift with these bombastic effects-laden summer films.Lou Sytsma said:New writers is what is really needed.
Agreed. But, with JJ out, so go Kurtzman and Orci (most likely). Get a whole new team in there and see what we can create!RobertR said:Good writing and storytelling is usually given short shrift with these bombastic effects-laden summer films.
As they should be. Plenty of new talent to get in there.Nelson Au said:The likes of Nicolas Meyer are not likely to be invited back I'm guessing. Anyone from the old guard is out.

It's a gooder.. Like any series Star Trek had its share of complete dreck, but this one was a stand-out, hence their decision to base a movie on it..schan1269 said:I don't think I've ever seen Space Seed.
Some, but not all (and I'm not even a casual fan, I'm an old-timer from the early 70s syndication run). I found the "rebooted" scenes A) far less "identical" to the original than many people suggest and B) far more compelling on multiple levels. Different strokes...doug zdanivsky said:It's a gooder..

The one with the Tribbles would be a good one to watch after this movie as well..
And I stand by my assertion that even casual Trekkers like me will have rolled their eyes at the "rebooted" scenes.. I'm going to kick back with some Krath of Khan and try to forget it ever happened.. LOL
