Trailer Time...

That war criminal film will be a hard watch. Like bigga says it will do Shit but wil win every award. The acting looks like sir Ben at his best.

A heavy and hard watch, best watched when feeling masochistic I dare say, if it cuts no corners it will disturb many viewers.

Not sure about the awards thing until I see a better cut. But, with it being out in Aug, I'm not sure they have a better one.

I hope I'm wrong. I think it will get nominated here and there, but getting one? Mm, not sure.

Kingsley does look back to some of his skill full best, I agree.

I have not seen to many others geared up to win at awards really you see. this is my reasoning for it to do well.

I am sure that "The Book Club" will be an awards darling to now i think of it but what else will be vying for those awards, i really need to catch up on upcoming stuff.

GTFI, now is the real golden age for cgi. Films we could never have approached before are now doable, no matter how mad the cgi will need to be.

James Cameron had to ditch this film cos he really had the pressure to complete "Avatar" 2 & 3, brought about from the 'Avatar' theme Park that's out now.

He's remained as producer on this film, though, so that's why it looks so good. So, if that's the case, what's his 'Avatar' films going to look like??!!


It looks like Disney has finally bought Fox, so therefore now own Marvel!

'X-Men' and 'Fantastic Four' are now back with Marvel!

But, conversely, "The New Mutants" film has been canned even though the promos are out there for it!

Interesting times ahead!

I don't think I've ever experience the undoing of curiosity when it comes to trailers.

I either want to see it or I don't. But never wanting to really see it to really not wanting too.

This second trailer drop has done that for me...

I won't post the official one that just came out then, aka trailer 3.

I really hate it when they do this. If it is hard to do a trailer without giving the game away then just do those very short ones you usually get early because no post production has been done to any real degree.

@Bigga I am an admittedly big fan of Star Trek (everything but the original series), but after watching the first three or four episodes of Discovery, I was not that enamoured and let my CBS All Access trial expire (the show was the only reason I signed up).

Did I give up too soon or is it just a matter of Roddenberry/TNG v Abrams/Reboot tastes?

Oh, and I came across this the other day — apparently there may be a few more shows in the works:

In my opinion, yes, you gave up too soon!

Without doubt, it's not perfect, none of them are. However, with this series I think they're trying to break the mould of linear thinking for the Star Trek franchise. It's never really crossed the morality threshold of what needs to be done in war, which kind of sets this apart already, and it never really explored the Klingon empire except by lip service. This is touching that line a little more.

The lines of conflict and morality are brilliantly blurred and there are actually no good guys, depending on a point of view.

I already put it in my top 2 renditions of the show.

The series is available for 'free' on Kodi or other alternative means.

You might as well dip in!

As for the other stuff about the Star Fleet Academy, if I was show running, I would wait for a series or 3 of 'Discovery' to see if it holds interest in story line and/ or audience.

It would be a mistake of Marvel proportions to just jump in over hype on a new series.

Best star trek since TOS and despite a few things that irked me (still don't like the new concept klingons) they managed to be a completely fresh and diferent while tieing into the continuity of the franchise and not dismisisng it (unlike the shite khan remake into darkness was even if it is a different timeline).

Thankfully they went for a more TOS, DS9, Voyager action/science fiction style not the boring TNG drone on about fucking diagnostics, waffle and if an andriod can cry bullshit

Loved the book. Loved the McQueen/Hoffman version.

Mmm...

Something seems 'off' about the trailer. Maybe it's the standard direction, already. Maybe it's the B-C list actors involved.

One needs talent to retell an already great story for me...

Agree with all that, but if they don't bring Jason Isaacs back I'm going to be well pissed.

Belive me I like picard, and TNG when it got a bit interesting and introduced the borg, cardassians, marque etc, but all the holo deck stories and every problem get geordie to do a diagnostic nd waffle aout it for an epospde.. oh do piss off give me scotty anyday sorting it out under preasure, also data just got on my tits though I found spiners performance good the charactor annoyed me.
It was ok but I can skip past episode after epispode when re-watching.
As for into darkness no one should fuck about with wrath of khan, end of.
