"STAR TREK Into Darkness" - 2013

[Dangelus]

Into Darkness was post conversion 3D wasn't it? I'd like to see what they could do with the 3D.

Was it? I thought it was shot in IMAX 3D.

I guess Nemesis is what oversaturating your audience does. Too bad, I enjoyed the movie.

Everywhere I've checked says it was a post job.

Some scenes were filmed in IMAX perhaps they were in 3D?

It was a post conversion, JJ said that he didn't want to do a post-conversion 3D movie until he was shown a demo of it done well and he relented. I think the IMAX scenes were also post-converted.

Seems to be a trend that they have to make these movies so fast paced these days. It's almost an insult life they think we don't have the attention span to handle a little more fleshing out of the story. :(

Some people don't, I truly believe that. I love a low burn, it's what got me into the show Mad Men...and my older son seems to be OK with slower paced stuff, but most younger people aren't. Sign O' the Times, I guess.

A Game Of Thrones/Star Trek movie would be pretty awesome as the folks over at Trekcast postulated

Darren and Dave are a little skeptical of the storyline but give an overall positive movie review and final rating of 5 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Best quotes:
"Spock goes off on Khan like Ralphy from 'A Christmas Story'."
"Could there be a Super Tribble sequel?"

I have had that order in for a while. :)

I was undecided for a bit since I already have the QMx phaser.  But in the end I said, ahh, why the heck not?  Can never have too many phasers around.  :)

[Bryancd]

Well this one has the rotating barrel. :)

[Rico]

Well this one has the rotating barrel. :)

True.  But I also have the toy one that rotates, has sound, etc.  Like I said, you can never have too many phasers.

Press Release & Bonus Features

"I'm excited for viewers at home to check out Star Trek Into Darkness on Blu-ray and DVD," said J.J. Abrams. "They did a great job and I'm thrilled with how everything looks and sounds. We also have some really fun behind-the-scenes special features that we shot on the Red and created entirely in-house at Bad Robot. They really look amazing and unlike anything I've seen on DVD or Blu-ray before." Abrams added "I hope fans enjoy seeing the process that went into making the movie and the truly amazing work of our most spectacular cast and crew."

The Star Trek Into Darkness Blu-ray/DVD and Blu-ray 3D/Blu-ray/DVD combo packs with UltraViolet™ are bursting with behind-the-scenes material detailing how the filmmakers delivered a rousing epic filled with both spectacle and soul.
