Initial reviews for Star Trek Into Darkness are good. Despite some detractors, Rotten Tomatoes has the film at a commanding 88%.
If you're pumped up for the release later this week, here's some Star Trek morsels to keep you hungry.
There's always somebody trying to compare Star Trek to Star Wars, something that really shouldn't be done as one is good science fiction and the other more science fantasy, and its begin done more and more with the prospect of Abrams lined up to direct the first of Disney's new Star Wars films. CNN ran a bit on their website, but it didn't really do wither franchise justice. Neil deGrass Tyson lent his opinion to the debate, letting us know that he grew up loving Trek never really could get into Wars, landing him in the camp that enjoys a dose of real science fiction over its cousin science fantasy. That's different from Abrams, who admitted to Jon Stewart on Comedy Central's mock news program The Daily Show that he grew up loving Star Wars but could never quite get into loving Star Trek, at least until he really got involved making the new films. Maybe Neil deGrass Tyson just needs to be cast as a Jedi in the new Star Wars film to figure out he can love it too.
Also, there's this: Karl Urban has stated emphatically that J.J. Abrams will be involved in future Star Trek film projects, even if he isn't in the director's chair. Star Wars duties aside, Abrams will continue to be involved at some level with the future of Star Trek, which is a good thing, considering he fits the formula for nerd-in-control means a good film.
For something else, here's a short clip of J.J. Abrams talking about the film title:
