Movie to See

Star Trek Into Darkness

The Star Trek reboot continues May 17th with a J.J. Abrams directed take on a story that looks suspiciously like Wrath of Khan. British sensation Benedict Cumberbatch as the villain John Harrison. But is it Khan or Mitchell?

Can't wait either way!

Quote of the Day

Garak: It’s vile

Quark: I know. It’s so bubbly and cloying and happy.

Garak: Just like the Federation.

Quark: But you know what’s really frightening? If you drink enough of it, you start to like it.

Garak: It’s insidious.

Quark: Just like the Federation.

“You wanted to frighten us. We’re frightened. You wanted to show us that we were inadequate. For the moment, I grant that. You wanted me to say, ‘I need you’? I need you!” (Picard to Q)

Quote of the Day

“You judge yourselves against the pitiful adversaries you’ve encountered so far - the Romulans, the Klingons. They’re nothing compared to what’s waiting. Picard, you are about to move into areas of the galaxy containing wonders more incredible than you can possibly imagine – and terrors to freeze your soul”

-Q

Star Trek Sequel synopsis

 

When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.

With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction.

As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.

- - - -

It also in a way hints that the villain in the sequel is Gary Mitchell, as previously revealed by Karl Urban. The phrase, “A personal score to settle” and a “a one man weapon of mass destruction” are a couple little tip offs.

In the original series Mitchell is a friend of Captain Kirk, and a Starfleet officer on the U.S.S. Enterprise. He ends up with powerful telekinetic powers, and turns against Kirk and his crew.

Premiere scheduled for May 17th, 2013. The movie stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Anton Yelchin, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Benedict Cumberbatch, Peter Weller and Alice Eve.

Dialogue of the Week

Spock: The ship… out of danger?

Kirk: Yes.

Spock: Don’t grieve, Admiral. It is logical. The needs of the many outweigh…

Kirk: …the needs of the few…

Spock: …Or the one. I never took the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution? I have been and always shall be your friend.

 

“I have been and always shall be your friend” is just one of the great understated lines of all time.
