Star Trek Into Darkness Review (MovieMantz)
Yahoo ^

Posted on 05/09/2013 3:36:19 PM PDT by Perdogg

For a TV show that debuted back in 1966 and struggled in the ratings during its 3-year run, there's no question that "Star Trek" has endured and defied the odds. But in order for it to truly live long and prosper well into the 21st Century (and, hopefully, beyond), it had to change, take risks, think outside the box and appeal to a much bigger audience than just its devoted fan base of Trekkers. Fortunately, that's exactly what the 2009 big screen reboot directed by J.J. Abrams did, and in a very big way.

In fact, no review for its highly-anticipated sequel - and the 12th installment - "Star Trek Into

Time and space are basically the same thing, so if you can “contract space” in a limited area, but keep yourself relative to the greater space while passing through the contracted space, from the perspective of greater space you might appear to be going faster than light, but from the perspective of the contracted space, you become incredibly long, one end touching your start point, and the other touching your end point.

In quantum physics speak you would stop being solid, but you wouldn’t be a wave, either. Instead would would become a massive packet of energy, with an indeterminate location while traveling.

Nah, not mainstream enough yet. Someone else has thought of it though.

The thing I liked most about the first of the last Star Trek movie is that it hit the ground running and didn’t let up. It never slowed down enough to let the viewer get bored. I hope they keep it up with this one.

Which, of course, is directly opposite of the original series and the subsequent series. They were generally slow paced and had only a small amount of "action". The last movie was too much. There was very little story just a lot of somewhat connected "action".

with an indeterminate location while traveling.

Heisenberg is out for a drive when a cop pulls him over. The cop says, “Do you know how fast you were going?” Heisenberg replies, “No, but I know where I am.”

“Hey! If you’re violating causality, take it outside!,” says the bartender.

It says to the bartender, “If my wife calls, tell her I’m not here yet!”

The bartender says “Here you go,” then gives the tachyon money before taking a beer and a shot from it.

A tachyon enters a bar.

Yes, want to see that. Saw “Jack Reacher”-—very good. “good Day to Die Hard”-—very bad.

Isn’t having super exessive len-flare flashing all over the bridge of a Federation starship somewhat of a safty hazzard?
