47 years on and the reference to the Star Trek name
still gives goose bumps to its die hard fans or should we call them the
'Trekkies'. After the inception of the series in the year 1966, the franchise
which went on to gain a cult status among the movie goers and TV watchers, is
still moving at 'warp' speed in making a place in the newer generation's heart.
It might seem far-fetched (and a little creepy), but there are some real
'Sheldon Coopers' present in this world who might be mistaking their real lives
for the 'Trekky' life. Does the latest reboot of the series- 'Star Trek into
darkness'- live up to the Trekkies' expectations? We might as well answer
that in Kling-on. Yes, it does. Here is everything that you (Trekkie or not)
need to know about the latest version before you watch it on TV.
1. Guy Fest: With Chris Pine,
Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban reprising their roles as Captain James T. Kirk,
Primus Spock and Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy respectively and new
addition of our very own Benedict 'Sherlock' Cumberbatch as the super villain
'Khan', the casting couldn't have been better (though as Indians, there is this
nagging feeling that if it's a 'Khan', then it should have been a 'Khan' from
Bollywood). Ladies, you have enough opportunities to feast your eyes on these
super cool dudes (albeit, they mostly appear with their shirts on) and guys,
you can feast your eyes on everything including the super cool dudes.
2. Amazing Opening Sequence: The
emergence of USS Enterprise from the clouds and Spock saving the 'doomsday'
planet Nibiru from extinction is a great beginning and an energetic
introduction to the crew members that will set the pace for the rest of the
movie.
3. A Super Bad 'bad Guy': Benedict
Cumberbatch who plays the titular character in 'Sherlock' is appearing as the
chilling bad guy called (No prizes for guessing) 'Khan' or 'Khan Noonien Singh'
(yes, the name can not get more Indian than this) in this movie. Armed with the
super sexy voice that he has, the good guys in the star ship are running a risk
of being out-shined by him alone. All we can say to the die hard 'Trekkies' who
have already watched the 1982 movie 'The Wrath of Khan', is that, you will not
be disappointed!
4. Kirk-Spock Romance: One of the main
highlights of any Star Trek movie is the chemistry between the dynamic duo (we
can also call them the 'Jay and Viru' of star-ship USS Enterprise) Kirk and
Spock. The friendship between the ever logical Spock and the hotheaded,
adventure seeking Kirk have been captured wonderfully. Watch it specially for
all the joking, bickering and getting into and out of sticky situations by both
of them.You will enjoy immensely.
