it wouldnt be a promotion but more of a transfer...in Star Trek the motion picture he became the ships tactical officer....if they did the same in this movie it would make sense for him to wear red.
In 5 and 6 is the Navigator and Second Officer

Wasn't he First Officer on the Reliant as well? Looks like he's been up and down and all over the chain of command!

Three reviews, one mixed/negative and the others positive:
(Neg) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/f...ss-review.html (Pos) http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/arts/f...cle3754180.ece http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/05/...g-cool-review/ BTW, how does Rotten Tomatoes work? Do the reviewer/writer of each review have to submit to the site on their own, and does RT seek them out?

(UPDATED) More reaction:
Cinema Blend (positive) http://www.cinemablend.com/reviews/S...ness-6394.html A spoiler-free video reaction from Collider (Frosty) and Peter (Slashfilm): (very positive) http://collider.com/star-trek-into-d...ew-video-blog/ Drew of Hitfix liked it: http://www.hitfix.com/motion-capture...-into-darkness Jordan Hoffman (Who is a hardcore Star Trek fan, so a 7/10 is a blessing on his part. He also states JJ will make the best Star Wars film ever!) http://screencrush.com/star-trek-into-darkness-review/ Mr. Beaks of Aint it Cool didn't like it. Beware: His review is spoiler heavy: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/62238 Silias of our very own sister site cominsoon.net hated it: http://www.comingsoon.net/news/revie....php?id=103724 BTW, the reviews are coming out of the woodwork since the embargo ends at 2PM Eastern. So some of these reviews are coming out a bit earlier than the scheduled time.

I think some of the complaints of the neg reviews seem valid, almost to what I feared about 'Into Darkness'. I still feel the same way (to a certain point), and it seems like JJ (once again) elevates the writing to make it all fun.
That's why I think JJ's perfect for Star Wars, especially when he's dealing with a more talented writer Michael Ardt. Like him or not, I think BAD's Devin Faraci is right that say that JJ's extremely talented but hasn't worked with any really stellar writers yet. Judging from their past, I think Orci and the rest are good when it comes to chemistry and character relations but have poor plotting. But I don't want to jump the gun too much here, since we'll see if the reviews are right (or wrong) come May 18th.

At least that spoiler review cleared one thing up for me.

I do think the narrative choice of this film is baffling. You can't help it but to think about the previous film/shows instead moving forward. That being said, it sounds like on its own the film's a blast.

Since the reviewer ultimately says positive or rotten, I'm pretty sure they have to submit it themselves.

Gauging from those reviews it seems like this is going to be more of the same from Star Trek 09', which is hardly a bad thing, and the mainstream will eat it up.
I just remember being heartbroken when my old man (a huge Trek fan) was so disappointed with the last film. The hard sci-fi, intellectual philosophy and existentialist themes far gone. But it was somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me. I haven't seen it since that year. I think this film should be fun. But I do agree with the people that say 'it's not Star Trek'. Edit: J.J. Abrams will be amazing for Star Wars though. Last edited by Smallville13; 05-03-2013 at 11:16 AM. |

If the show is the aforementioned source of debate on philosophy, religion, and politics, yes, I agree. However, all of the Star Trek films, save the first one, have popcorn spectacle: revenge has been the primary plot thread in most of them (Wrath of Khan, Search for Spock, First Contact, Nemesis, Star Trek '09, and so on.) And the ones that did not have the simple, rehashed retelling of Moby Dick were completely out there: Insurrection, the one Shatner directed, and there's one other one I am missing. In short, Plinkett explains the problem better than I can: I highly recommend his review of Star Trek 09 (the full one, not the teaser he did.) One of the points he made that I like is that we will never have a film like the Motion Picture again: a thoughtful and symbolic film that captured the wonder of space travel. With that said, I am excited as hell for Into Darkness. I like Abrams had done with the series.

All of this is true, and it has contributed to a very mediocre series of films. |

I guess it's just this new Star Trek verse is so far removed from any of the previous iterations. It really has jettisoned the whole ideas of exploration and learning. That said it's a visual feast. I expect the 3D in this one to be amazing. I think Karl Urban is great as Bones, but that's as far as I'd go commending the cast. I expect Benedict Cumberpatch to be great though. I will definitely see this film, but I can't say I'm excited. However Star Wars 2015, sign me up! (I'm much more of a Trek fan but J.J. Abrams is a much better fit for SW, so I think that movie will shine.) |

Benedict and Chris have been on Graham Norton tonight promoting the movie and it was pretty funny.

And for my own money I prefer Abrams take on film. On TV I don't mind the exploration and the more cerebral nature of it all week to week, but on film, when it all has to fit in a 2 hour package, I want large, grandiose, adventures and big antagonists. This isn't to say I wouldn't want an indie director to take a swing at a cerebral smaller budget Trek film cause honestly that would be freaking amazing as well. For right now tho, I wanna enjoy this more lighthearted action adventure approach.

Star Trek doesn't have to be defined by villains or villains with revenge plots for that matter. Unfortunately the films have rarely realized this which is why about half of them suck. |

I think that one clip of Kirk interrogating Harrison allowed me to figure out how Harrison might actually be you-know-who. I'm going to post my theory here just so I can see if I was right after I watch the movie.

^I'm sure it'll be something Abrams-y about the explanation. Though I hope in the third film they actually get a chance to go out there and do some exploration.
