I know that I said in my previous post that Star Trek Into Darkness was opening on May 17th, but I got to see it on Thursday, the 16th! ... And I didn't even go to a midnight showing. In fact, they had a midnight showing Wed/Thurs. It's like Christmas coming a day early, and what a Christmas present it was.
I'll tell you one thing. As a self avowed Trekkie ... though I don't own any costuming, action figures, or been to a Star Trek convention ... I have to give this film 5 out of 5 stars. And, here is your "Spoiler Alert." If you haven't seen the movie yet, continue at your own risk.
Since Jerry at As the Crakerhead Crumbles was so kind as to feature this blog as part of his weekly "Sunday Drive" with a picture I used of Ricardo Montalban as Khan, I figure that it's only fair to have a Star Trek/Khan inspired post.
On May 17th, the second of the rebooted Star Trek films comes out, Into Darkness. And, guess what character it features as the villain? Khan. Sweet! The second Star Trek film features Khan, and the second in the reboot features Khan. I think that qualifies as being respectful to the original.
I have to say that I really liked the reboot. That's not always the case. I saw where they're rebooting Superman. Didn't they just do that a few years ago? I guess that was like a computer reboot where it still doesn't work right, and you have to do it again.
In any case, I'm looking forward to this one. I can hardly wait. I have tried to avoid knowing too much about the film ahead of time, so that I can actually enjoy it.
But I think that there's one thing for sure. I doubt that Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan will expose as much of his chest as Ricardo Montalban did in the original film. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Only time will tell. ;)
