It's the U.S. Thanksgiving weekend (enjoy, friends south of the border) and there's a drought of interesting shit to write about, so I guess this will have to pass as news in The Basement on this Thursday night.
J.J. Abrams's second, and long delayed, Trek epic hits theatres May 17, 2013 and will be shot in 3D. That's good news/bad news for Basement Dwellers, who love what Abrams did with Star Trek and hate paying three extra dollars to see 3D of any kind in theatres. At least it's being shot in 3D, so the comin'-at-yah thrills should be decent, if not unnecessary.
The 3D news surprises me. Abrams's first Star Trek is highly entertaining. A sequel doesn't need a gimmick to make it great as long as his cast is intact and the script is good. And 3D is quickly becoming a thing of the past. An odd choice, Paramount Pictures.
Still, we're gonna see it and, if it's even half as good as the first, it will still be a fun two-hour diversion.

I may have to waive my, "No 3D" policy for this one... but if they have same sort of lens flaring they had in the first one, I could see people having seizures if they're all in 3D...
ReplyDeleteI would pay to see a 3D lense flare. Hell, I know I am paying to see this!!
