#Midnight video beyond darkness movie#
A major movie studio has no conscience, it just gobbles up IPs and excretes new versions. You can joke about the lens flare or the bridge looking like an Apple store (or the ridiculousness of giving a hothead right out of the Academy the center seat on the Federation’s flagship, or the fact that Spock would never maroon Kirk on Delta Vega, or question what Nero was doing for 25 years while he waited for Spock Prime to appear, or what the hell “red matter” is) but the fact remains that this movie could have been terrible. Watching JJ Abrams’s first film (parlance for the reboot is usually Trek 09) it struck me just what a miracle it is. The first Star Trek film of the current reboot, known to fans as Trek 09.
(It should be said that most of the vengeful nerds who voted Into Darkness the worst Star Trek film of all time didn’t hate Cumberbatch, per se, just the stupid regurgitation of the Khan character and the way it was teased out in the movie.) Yes, while on line for popcorn there were dudes clearly obsessed with ridiculous minutiae (“Seven of Nine’s Borg implants give her spacial acuity!”) but I happened to sit near a woman whose fandom was much more mellow, and who confessed she was most excited for another opportunity to bask in Benedict Cumberbatch’s 16x22 meter glow, even though his appearance of Khan Noonien Singh in Star Trek Into Darkness is one of the more maligned touch-points in this entire new trilogy. As at conventions there were young and old, families and individuals, a significant percentage of women (though, admittedly, not quite a 50/50 split) and as much racial diversity as one would find at any other typical New York screening.

A few of the faithful were dressed in full Starfleet uniform (one young man had what appeared to be a working TR-560 Tricorder VI) but what might surprise people is how many dedicated Star Trek enthusiasts don’t fit the perceived stereotype.
