The first teaser for the highly anticipated 2013 blockbuster Star Trek Into Darkness has FINALLY been released after months of hype and extreme secrecy. Is it any good? I can sum up my feelings with one word: WOW. WOW. That's pretty much all I could say after the teaser ended, because this looks pretty damn incredible. As a huge fan of the last J.J. Abrams Star Trek, I was really interested to see where the sequel was going to go. Now I have my answer: Wrath of Khan. This entry may not be an exact replica of Wrath of Khan, but you cannot deny the numerous similarities (especially the final shot of the Japanese teaser...). This sequel is apparently amping up the threat, the set-pieces, the action, and the explosions, and while this strategy sometimes doesn't work (Iron Man 2 and Sherlock Holmes 2 come into mind), I cannot deny my freakish excitement to see this. For me the thing that stands out the most from this teaser is Benedict Cumberbatch as the supposed villain. Yes, he does seem very Khan-like, but he still seems like a really intimidating dude and a force to be reckoned with. I'm predicting this guy will make a fantastic villain, and Cumberbatch deserves greater exposure to the world. So, guys, what do you think of the Star Trek Into Darkness teaser?
And stay tuned for my reaction to the 9 minute prologue that will be shown before The Hobbit in IMAX 3D.
