I'm not alone in thinking that Star Trek Into Darkness is one of the worst titles for a film. Why not just Star Trek: Darkness, or Star Trek: Knock Knock Who's There? Darkness! Darkness Who? Darkness This Movie Next Summer! or something or other.
But we will all have to deal with the cards that J.J. Abrams has dealt us for 2013. Hey, at least it looks cool, and it's got Benedict Cumberbatch in it as a bad guy, maybe Khan. So he's like Space Bane sent to break Kirk's back.
We're all going to have to wait until May 17, 2013 to see what Abrams has in store for us. For now, check out the two teaser trailers, with one in Japanese with extra footage not in the Howdy American Joe version.
