'Star Trek' Sequel Gets Release Date, Will Be Shot in 3D

By: Derrick Deane on November 28, 2011 at 2:19PM Comments (18)

When Sony shuffled Roland Emmerich's Singularity from May 17, 2013 to November 1, 2013, Paramount seized the opportunity to release their Star Trek sequel just before Memorial Weekend.

While the sequel is still without a title, Deadline revealed that J.J. Abrams will shoot the movie in 3D.
 
The sequel was delayed from its original June 29, 2012 release date as Abrams was finishing up on Super 8. The studio ended up giving that date to its other sequel, G.I. Joe: Retaliation.
 
Abrams has been putting final touches on the script from Damon Lindeloff, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.
 
The biggest question is how die-hard Trekkies will react to their beloved franchise joining the ranks of 3D movies. The 2009 reboot managed to attract a new, younger audience, helping the film amass $258 million worldwide. One thing's for sure - that 3D lens flare is going to be something else!
 
So how does Star Trek 2 in 3D sound to you?

    I feel bad for all of you. It is sad how ignorant you all are about 3D technology.

    I'm not that crazy about 3D films but like I said before hand it's a matter of choice: I much prefer the 2D format for it's easier for my eyes/viewing. 3D howbeit there's the glasses in all, I have a tough time adjusting those glasses over my own. Sometimes I see things in 3D like Resident Evil but I always without a doubt will see it in 2D 'cause that's what I like more and the image is better on my eyes.

    If they do a lot of cool tricks that make me want to duck because I think that something is going to hit me from the screen, then I'm for making Star Trek 2 in 3D. If they are just going to half *** it, then I say forget it. I've seen a lot of 3 D movies this year, but I only saw 2 where seeing in 3D was worth it. They were Green Lantern and Transformers 3, believe it or not. Other movies that I saw in 3D, I would have been better off saving money and just watching the 2D version. These include: Captain America, Thor, Immortal, The Green Hornet, Harry Potter DH 2, Conan, Priest, Cowboys & Aliens, and 3 Musketeers, This doesn't mean that I didn't like the movies, I just don't think that the 3D added anything. I admit, I ke "cheap" 3D tricks.

    There is no reason to shot the movie in 3D. As a Star Trek fan I am really upset with JJ Abrams I thought he would have more class not to shot it in 3D. I refuse to go to the movies if I see a movie in 3D. Stop with the 3D!! The only reason movies are doing good in 3D is because of the ridiculous prices.

    Ok.. that last (reboot) Star Trek was pure manure. Garbage. People called it original. Whatever. Time travel..? Again..? Renegade Romulans with a super weapon..? Again? Anyone see Nemesis? Ahh.. renegade Romulans with a super weapon. Real original. Not only that, they kill off Spock's mother and all of Vulcan. The mythos of Vulcan and the relationship with his mother was what made ST and Spock fascinating! Kill them off..? WHO greenlighted THAT..? Stupid. And the mixing of the old show and the new (by making Spock Prime F everything up by time travel) was dumb and careless. Plus, Kirk has no real background, no history. He's captain after ONE mission and at 27..? Boring. Geez.. Just bad moviemaking. Sorry.

    Knowing the team from the last film and their creative back ground I trust they will do it right or not at all. The 2nd one has to raise the bar a little more to keep the flame alive for a 3rd film. I can hear Picard right now telling JJ to "MAKE IT SO".
