Star Trek Into Darkness Discussion Thread {#1}: Wasn't Benedict AMAZING as Khan?!

Star Trek Into Darkness

Appreciation & Discussion Thread {#1}
Admire Benedict Cumberbatch performance as Khan Noonien Singh with us!




Source

When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one-man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.

Benedict's amazing acting chops:

Once I got past Benedict not looking how I expected Khan to look, he was an excellent villain. Honestly, I wish they had given Benedict an original character.

I agree, Chris. It took a bit for me to warm up to Benedict's character but he really sold it.

Rewatch Party!

I am trying to plan a rewatch for Star Trek Into Darkness for the board!!

It is currently available on Netflix, Amazon, and Redbox as well as on DVD, so I thought it would be a great summer activity for us!

Do we want to do a live posting? Does anyone have time suggestions if we do? I am not sure how spread out over the world our posters are presently and who is interested in participating but let's discuss and then make plans!

We can even invite the Star Trek board to join us!!

Anna, thank you so much for taking the lead on this!
The OP looks fantastic!

I'll definitely participate in the watch/re-watch with the board. I'll try to get the movie from Redbox to watch this Wednesday night.

I haven't had time to watch all of the OP YT videos, but I love his reading of The Little Red Hen!

Good stuff, Anna!

This thread is awesome! Brilliant gifs. Benedict was such an intellectual badass in it, but that's nothing new to us

I would love to do a re-watch. Maybe live? Not sure what everyone's time zones are. I'm EST in the US.

I'm US Eastern time as well. It might be hard to coordinate a live watch, especially for those of us who have to rent the dvd.

Love the new gifs! Thanks from me, too, beforethestorybegan. (I don't know your name, either )

yea we can always pick a day to post about the movie if the live re-watch is too difficult to coordinate

Yes, picking a day to start the discussion is good and then people can chime in and keep it going indefinitely.
I think we should invite people who are supporting the BC board campaign to join us, as well as the Star Trek board.
