I would have posted this yesterday, but the battery died on my computer and we had to re-start and re-install everything!!!
This is a scream! Star Trek: Into Darkness as interpreted by the very funny YouTube page “Screen Junkies” who make “Honest Trailers”!
As I said on your fb page, have you seen the 2009 Honest Trailer? Perfect. And see the Harry potter ones too:-)
Hi J, I just discovered the Honest Trailer page today, so I haven’t seen that one yet, but I will! Thanks!
This video bears sad testimony to the evolution of Star Trek from a dream people believed in into just another action-adventure franchise.The times have changed since TOS, mostly not for the better. One thing hasn’t changed: It’s as sexist as it was in 1966. The demographic they’re making these reboot movies for–15 to 24-year-old males–shows why. Spock spends most of his time having emotional outbursts, while Kirk shows me none of the “greatness” Chris Pike saw in him. The Kirk dying scene is a soulless ripoff of “The Wrath of Khan.” I could go on about this, but I guess I’ll just degenerate into an old fogie and go on watching TOS.
bruiser, you’re completely right about the demographic this is aimed at! I don’t know if you read my review of STID here, but I think you’ll agree with a lot of it: Here it is: http://trekkerscrapbook.com/2013/09/10/mr-abrams-did-you-break-my-star-trek-a-k-a-my-review-of-star-trek-into-darkness-with-many-spoilers/
