The internet hates Into Darkness. I like the film a fair bit, but in the final analysis, it's been tepidly-received.

Critically, it was fine, though. Quite fine.

Hell, even if you wanna do the bullshit "adjustment for inflation" it still outgrosses Wrath of Khan. Is within a percentage point of Khan's critical rating on RT, too.

(although there's problems with RT as a valid measure of critical reception, and that's not even getting into the fewer reviews being tallied for older films)

BUT STILL:

Star Trek Into Darkness: 87%, 7.6/10 average, 235 mil (adj) 228 (act)
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: 88%, 8/10 average, 231 mil (adj) 78 mil (act)

Ha. :P

GAF, TrekBBS, TrekCore, TrekMovie, GameFAQs, WatchersOnTheWall, Facebook. There's a lot of negativity on all fronts, although admittedly the Trek site trifecta is a wash because Trek diehards can be utterly poisonous to the perception of their own franchise. (We can also be really cool, too, but yeahhh)

Khan cost $11M though. What's that in 2016 dollars? $25-30M?

it's close enough that there's no real point in arguing it too strenuously.

(But it's still Khan. Then 09. Then Undiscovered. But put any one of those three on and I'm watching the whole thing)

Your top three is probably my top three.

Neat.

I apologize for turning this thread into Star Trek Central, btw >_>;
 
Undiscovered Country had David Warner and Christopher Plummer as Klingons. And Plummer had an eye patch nailed to his face. And it took being gangbanged by Kirk and Sulu to stop him and his badass ship.
Undiscovered Country > Khan. But by the thinnest of margins. Ever so thin.
 
Looking through Paramount's releases the last few years, they've had more successes than failures than most are wiling to give them.

I mean, World War Z grossing over 200 million domestically, who wouldve ever thought that?
 
Adjusting for inflation for budgets is even weirder than adjusting BO grosses. Off the top of my head, the only old film I can think of that would come close to costing as much money as recent blockbusters when adjusting for inflation is Cleopatra and maybe the first Superman film.

That was just the era. Jedi was $32.5M, Ghostbusters was $30M, Aliens was $18M.

Then Cameron decided to change the game and lead us down the path of major budget inflation starting in the early 1990s.

Well, it wasn't just the era. ST:TMP cost $46 million. Khan was cheap because they reused everything, LOL.
 
kswiston said:
It was up over 80% from the first film overseas. Even if you take away China, it was up a decent percentage.
Click to expand...

It went from $127m to $238m. I don't know, doesn't really seem like a great result for 2013. It's not like it got a negative reception (outside of hardcore trek fans). Maybe Beyond will catch on more overseas.
 
Branduil said:
I just hope Beyond has a decent villain for the first time in a NuTrek film.

I like Khanberbatch and RoboCopMarcus and I feel like Nero is underrated as well. Idris Elba will hopefully deliver something all the stronger, though; there's no touching some of the villains in DS9 in particular, and OG Khan and Chang were great. (Christopher Lloyd's Star Trek 3 Klingon was absurd though but I like him for what he is.)
 
Midnight gross for The Force Awakens in China was downgraded to $2.4M.

Early first day estimates will be up soon, but I am going to bed. I am sure Numble or someone else will post them later.

I like Star Trek 09 but nonsensical nature of his character motivation aside, Eric Bana's overacting is less and less bearable each time I see it.

Yeah, I enjoy Bana, but his Nero is... an... acquired... taste...
 
The best part about Into Darkness was my friend who saw it with us reacting in absolute shock when they revealed the super obvious Khan thing.

The worst part about that reveal is that means absolutely nothing in the context of the film. Kirk and Spock should have reacted like Korath did to Starlord.
 
Kagari said:
He claimed he didn't see any of the trailers. But come on... I know barely anything about Star Trek and even I knew.
Click to expand...

Incredible. Literally the first time I've heard of someone who would know to react to a Khan reveal actually being surprised. And in case it ain't obvious, I'm a big Trek geek and I tend to hear every Trek story there is.

Just... damn. Well good for him, I guess. And good for you for savoring something so rare >_>
 
I could, in theory, totally see someone who knows the character Khan but not participating in any of the internet discourse coming away surprised by that reveal. I mean, it's not like Cumberbatch looks one iota like Khan. Wasn't there a comic that explained he got facial reconstructive surgery to explain that discrepancy? lol
 
I still like ST:ID (sue me), but I remember when the Khan revealed happened, I pretty much went "oh."

I was on team NotKhan too.
 
I can't remember a single scene from Into Darkness besides the Enterprise crashing into the city presumably killing thousands...and the script ignoring this and having the central cast instead worry and sit by Kirk's bedside.
