Star Trek Into Darkness
Re: Star Trek Into Darkness
Part of me prefers those because its really awkward watching a movie shot in 3D in 2D (see: Harold and Kumar 3D). Regardless I am so excited for this movie, and the reviews seem to be getting better and better. Cannot wait for Tuesday!

I have already checked the showing times and hopefully going next Friday after work
The review embargo has been lifted. To be honest, I'm not going to read anymore. Don't want to stumble across any spoilers.
Re: Star Trek Into Darkness
I'm not a massive fan but I'm still looking forward to seeing this movie, unfortunately for me I will have to p*y as I haven't found any sort of freebies around here
Enjoy the movie guys

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness
is the sheffield screening goign to be on the imax screen?
Re: Star Trek Into Darkness
I was lucky enough to catch this at a press screening last night at the Empire Leicester Square, it was a bit of a palaver waiting for all the international press to pick their seats before us mere mortals were finally allowed in, but thankfully still managed to get a great seat...
In the end after all the hype, I really enjoyed Into Darkness, it's action packed, its pace is relentless, some of the set pieces and scenery are breathtaking, there is a lot of humour, few familiar faces/items pop up unexpectedly, and new additions to the cast are all great, particularly Benedict Cumberbatch. For a long-term Trekkie like me, there were one or two things about the plot I didn't like (I won't say what just yet!), but the fact that this is the alternate timeline makes it easier to digest. Overall, it's a really good follow-up to the 2009 reboot, and an excellent blockbuster even if you're not a Trek fan. I'd like to watch it again in 2D (didn't think much of 3D, as per usual), and maybe in IMAX too, but for now I'll rate it 8/10.

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness
Just watched Star Trek on Channel 4. Had almost forgotten just how excellent it is.
