Star Trek Into Darkness Ships – The visual effects work on Star Trek Into Darkness plays a key role in creating this highly designed world, creating the right scale and scope for a space adventure. A large portion of the movie was shot in large IMAX f format (about half the final run time of f), intercut with standard anamorphic f format. The higher resolution of the IMAX frame and the added 3D stereo display format added a significant workload but the team was up to the challenge.
The interior and exterior scenes of the volcanic planet Nibiru that erupt in the opening sequence contributed to F’s over 700 effects shots, including the destruction of the secret Federation ship The Vengeance and its aftermath as it crashed into San Francisco Bay and resulted in skids across the city. And the street chase and flying truck sequence between Khan. The team also created the iconic Enterprise.

Our model, texture and lighting team created hundreds of buildings to fill the city, and under the guidance of our art director, Alex Jaeger, created a living, breathing city with an exciting sense of design and futuristic vision.

F received an Academy Award and BAFTA nomination for Best Visual Effects, as well as two VES Award and two Annie Award nominations.” Star Trek Into Darkness aka ‘Star Trek On Acid’ is the 12th film in the Star Trek franchise, a no. I remember ‘The Simpsons’ ran a joke 20 years ago with the title ‘So Very Tired’. Fortunately, Star Trek Into Darkness is anything but. But is the fast-paced action of a film necessarily a good thing?
Flash back to early 2012 when news broke that Benedict Cumberbatch would be cast as the villain and I almost pissed myself with excitement. Best casting ever. I love ‘Sherlock’ and he is a great actor. The prospect of him playing Khan attracted me to the idea and the hell out of casting an actor to match the character’s ethnicity. Although it was never announced that he was playing the role of Khan, he would instead be playing the role of a man named ‘John Harrison’. Most people thought this was a cover name/secret identity, as we have already seen this in countless movies, The Dark Knight Rises, James Bond, etc. At this point the audience is ahead of the game and has been through similar plot twists. Becomes more and more popular over the years.
I’ve held onto the idea that Khan will always be the villain, it seems like a logical progression for the franchise, the character is iconic and the most well-known among fans and non-fans alike. Batman has his Joker but Star Trek never had a villain who always came back for more besides the faceless enemy of the Borg. But Khan was individual and he was already bigger than the 1 episode and 1 movie he was seen in earlier. The writers of STID mentioned in 2009 that they considered putting a scene with Botany Bay at the end. From Star Trek 09. John Harrison’s name is brought up in the episode ‘Space Seed’ in which Khan was first featured. The trailer showed the character with superhuman strength and his clothes were similar to the ones he wore in ST:TWOK.
November 2012 and I’m lucky enough to meet Benedict Cumberbatch, even though he’s surrounded by Japanese female fans who go nuts for the guy. My first geeky instinct is “KHAN!!!” to shout But we live in a civilized society so I tried my best to avoid it, instead as he signed his autograph I asked in a low voice “Are you Khan?” To which he gave a confused/slightly annoyed look with a Japanese girl next to me, “You can’t ask that!!!”, yet I had to. I was just. I must say, what an amazingly cool guy down to earth, what a gentleman and a very friendly man. Mr. Cumberbatch has done a good job of not giving it away because he must have been asked the same question in every interview he did.

But still as we got closer to the release date they didn’t reveal who the villain was and denied that it was Khan. I know JJ Abrams likes to keep things a secret and I also like to wait to see the secret revealed but I think this kind of marketing does the film a bit of a disservice. If you’re going to put that big name villain in the movie, the name everyone knows, you want to advertise it. That is something that will attract the audience to the film and in my opinion would have helped the box office.
Some people said it could be Gerry Mitchell (Yaw) or Robert April. I thought it might be the android Dr. from ‘What Are Little Girls Made Of’. It would be Roger Corby because who else can match this superman’s strength.
So the movie goes and if you are a Star Trek fan you are already ahead of the movie. Harrison’s interest in those 72 photon torpedoes determined for me that it was Khan, and I guessed that there would be people inside them as well. I loved Cumberbatch’s performance as Khan, cold and brutal and manipulative. He is the most deserving Star Trek villain in years.
Great to see the Klingons here, they seem cold and brutal and revert to something to be feared. Loved seeing Praxis break down in the planet. Their Bird of Preys/D4 ships look something very realistic and deadly.

Admiral Marcus: Was another great villain. It’s a little strange that here again we see Peter Weller playing the Star Trek villain we saw on ‘Star Trek Enterprise,’ especially when you consider that the rule of thumb for these movies seems to exclude anyone else associated with the star. . Tracks earlier than original artists. I watched ‘The Dark Knight Returns’ animation earlier this year in which he voiced an older Batman. The way he plays Marcus kinda reminds me especially of the whole “listen son” thing and the need to protect himself from the Klingons by going to war with them. He was very badass.
Ignoring the ridiculous name it’s the ugliest, fenvanky starship ever. Like everyone else I am tired of these uber sized spaceships controlled by villains. We saw the same thing in Star Trek 2009 and Nemesis. Couldn’t we have a ship the size of the Enterprise to make it more interesting and a battle of tactics instead of the “my gun is bigger than yours” notion that plagues Star Trek movies and other action movies of similar note. . It’s kind of a 90s film writing mentality that a villain can only be represented by something so big. I love that starships go bad in Star Trek, the Reliant is just one example. It’s fun to watch similar ships go head-to-head with similar obstacles. This friggin revenge thing is just bleh! Black and forbidding, not well designed even for the dreaded class. 3x faster than Enterprise? How is that even possible?
Question: Why does Admiral Marcus have a model of the USS Vengeance on his desk when the ship is supposed to be a top secret weapon? Is he just fu*king with people to see if anyone will notice him about it?
Scotty: I laughed at Scotty this time who in my opinion is a little more down to earth, less irritating and funnier. Pegg completely redeems the character and is on par with Karl Urban’s fantastic Bones performance. By the way, give us more bones!!!! I was very satisfied coming out of this film compared to 2009 where I was just numb. It’s also a good film visually, less lens flare, I can see the action better.
In Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) The Uss Vengeance, Admiral Marcus’ Dreadnought, Was Revealed As A Model On His Desk Prior To Its Appearance In The Film.
Tribute to Wrath of Khan: I was expecting them to go there but then again I don’t think they will because it would be too obvious. But they did it. I couldn’t believe they did it. i liked It definitely didn’t have the same impact as TWOK which is probably because Kirk was supposed to come back at the end. I think Pine and Quinto were outclassed by Shatner’s and Nimoy’s versions but they were two actors and characters with more history together. Pike’s death was handled better, especially since there weren’t any big action scenes afterwards. Leaving Kirk dead was an interesting move (for his return in the sequel) but the character really needs to start maturing now.
Things I didn’t like, again the plot has a lot of holes and at times makes no sense other than to move the plot along. James Kirk has a bigger dick in this movie than in the previous movie. You’d think being captain for a year would have cooled him down or matured him
