Ready to see Star Trek Into Darkness

Well, in just at 16 1/2 hours, I will be watching Star Trek Into Darkness. I have waited less than patiently for this film for months now. And of course J. J. Abrams has been VERY tight lipped about certain details of the film. Namely who the bad guy is. Speculation has been rampant and there are basically two camps. He's Mitchell or Khan. 

I personally am pulling for him to be Khan. Interestingly enough, the iMDB is now showing him listed as Khan. (A few month back it listed him as Khan/Mitchell) However, I'm not 100% sure this isn't just a ruse by Abrams to foil us movie nuts. I did see a blurb today that listed him as something completely different, like John Harrison or something generic like that. 

What's really killing me is that when I got home from work today and mentioned to my wife that I realized that the show did in fact open on the 15th and not the 17th, (I was trying to talk her into going tonight.. LOL) she informs me that she is aware of WHO the bad guy is and knows the ENTIRE plot of the movie from reading it online today! Then she starts teasing me about how she knows. But worst of all... she starts to pester me about allowing her to tell me what she knows. So far I have resisted her attempts to thwart my desire to be surprised tomorrow when I see the film.

So no spoilers here... Just one excited nerd... ready to see some kick butt Star Trek action!

See you at the movies!

GEEKING OUT! Star Trek Teaser Trailer Released

With a yawn and stretch this morning, I rolled over and grabbed my iPhone to see what was happening on Facebook and Twitter. As I scrolled down Facebook, I stopped in my tracks. Was I reading it right? Yes I was, the teaser trailer for next years Star Trek Into Darkness had been released. Now fully awake, I tapped the link. As a side note, let me just say that I HATE BUFFERING! Sorry. Any way, I proceeded to watch the trailer four times in a row. (Yes... I know... I'm a bit obsessive about my Star Trek). And yes.. I did GEEK OUT over what I was seeing.

It's a lot to take in. The clip isn't much more than a minute long, but it sure brings up a few questions. Some of the questions that I have -

1. So is this bad guy the legendary Khan? I've heard and read articles both ways.. Yes he is... No he's not. Whoever he is.. he sure seems to have some "abilities"

2. Is that the enterprise crashing on the planet at the end?

and last

3. Who is the blond? Yeoman Rand maybe?


So, what are your thoughts on the trailer? Are you ready to see the movie? As for myself, May 17th is already marked on the calendar.

Well look at what I found! It looks like the Japan trailer has 8 to 10 seconds more content than the U.S. version. Here is the link:
