Star Trek Into Darkness is a 2013 American science fiction action film. It is the twelfth installment in the Star Trek franchise and the sequel to 2009's Star Trek. J. J. Abrams directed a screenplay written by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and Damon Lindelof, based on the series of the same name created by Gene Roddenberry. Lindelof, Orci, Kurtzman and Abrams also serve as producers, along with Bryan Burk. Chris Pine reprises his role as Captain James T. Kirk, with Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Anton Yelchin, Simon Pegg, John Cho, and Bruce Greenwood reprising their roles from the previous film. Benedict Cumberbatch, Peter Weller and Alice Eve round out the film's principal cast.

After the release of Star Trek, Abrams, Burk, Lindelof, Kurtzman and Orci signed up to produce the film. In 2011, the supporting cast was rounded out with Cumberbatch, Weller and Eve brought in to portray key roles. Filming began in January 2012. The film was shot entirely in California. The film's visual effects were handled by Industrial Light & Magic.

The film was converted to 3D in post-production. Star Trek Into Darkness premiered at Event Cinemas in Sydney on April 23, 2013[6] and was released on May 9, 2013 in Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom and parts of Europe and Peru[7] with other countries following. The film is scheduled for release on May 16, 2013 in the United States and Canada, with IMAX opening one day earlier.[8][9]

Plot

The USS Enterprise is sent to Planet Nibiru to observe a pre-warp civilization. Kirk and Spock attempt to save the inhabitants from an imminent volcano eruption which would wipe out the civilization. When Spock's life is jeopardized, Captain James T. Kirk breaks the Prime Directive, exposing the Enterprise to the planet's civilization during Spock's rescue. A number of indigenous people begin to worship the ship as it leaves. Called back to Earth, Kirk is demoted to First Officer and Admiral Christopher Pike re-assumes command of the Enterprise. In London, Starfleet agent John Harrison bombs a secret "Section 31" installation. Pike and his first officer attend an emergency meeting of high ranking officers at Starfleet headquarters. The meeting is attacked by a gunship piloted by Harrison. Kirk destroys the gunship, but Harrison escapes and Pike dies.

Fleet Admiral David Marcus authorizes Kirk to hunt down Harrison, who has used transwarp beaming and fled to the Klingon homeworld of Kronos. Since Kronos lies deep in Klingon territory and the Federation is on the brink of war with the Klingon Empire, the Enterprise is supplied with 72 long-range prototype photon torpedoes, and is ordered to fire them at Harrison's location once he is found. Thinking that the torpedoes could be dangerous to the ship, Montgomery "Scotty" Scott refuses to take them aboard and tenders his resignation, whereupon Pavel Chekov is promoted to Chief Engineer. Admiral Marcus' daughter, scientist Carol Marcus, joins the crew under a false identity.

Arriving at the Klingon homeworld, the Enterprise's warp core malfunctions. With repairs underway, Kirk, Spock and Uhura use a previously commandeered trader ship to reach Kronos. After being detected by Klingon patrol ships, the three are forced to land. Despite Uhura's attempts to negotiate, the Klingons prepare to kill the trio. Harrison wipes out the Klingons and confronts the landing party, but surrenders after learning the precise number of photon torpedoes aimed at him.

Returning to the Enterprise, Harrison reveals his real identity: Khan Noonien Singh, a genetically augmented superhuman, who has been in cryo sleep for 300 years after his unsuccessful war to have his superhuman comrades rule the Earth. He advises Kirk to examine the 72 prototype torpedoes and also tells him a set of spatial coordinates. Kirk orders Leonard McCoy to examine the torpedoes, and contacts Scotty on Earth to check the coordinates. The torpedoes are found to each contain a genetically-engineered human in cryo sleep - the remaining members of Khan's colleagues. Khan explains that Admiral Marcus awakened him to use his superior intellect and savagery to develop advanced weapons for a war with the Klingons, keeping his colleagues as hostages. Kirk realizes that the Enterprise warp core had been sabotaged on Admiral Marcus’ orders, making the covert operation to kill Khan a one-way ticket.

Scotty arrives at the coordinates and finds a secret Starfleet shipyard, which he infiltrates. The Enterprise's warp core is repaired, but the ship is soon confronted by an unregistered Federation battleship, the USS Vengeance - a massive vessel built for combat which dwarfs the Enterprise. Admiral Marcus reveals himself as the commander of Vengeance, demanding Kirk hand over Khan. Kirk refuses, and Enterprise warps toward Earth, to have Khan stand trial.

Enterprise is attacked by Vengeance in Earth's orbit. With Enterprise severely damaged, Kirk offers to hand over Khan and the 72 bodies in cryo sleep in exchange for the lives of his crew. Marcus refuses, beams his daughter to Vengeance, and orders the destruction of Enterprise—when Vengeance suddenly suffers complete power outage, caused by Scotty who had boarded the ship at the secret shipyard. As the Enterprise weapons are too damaged to continue the fight, and knowing that Khan was the designer of Vengeance, Kirk allies himself with Khan and boards the ship. They reunite with Scotty and take the bridge. Meanwhile, Spock contacts Spock Prime to learn of Khan's history and how to defeat him. Khan betrays Kirk and takes control of Vengeance, killing Admiral Marcus. Khan negotiates with Spock, beaming Kirk and his boarding party back to the Enterprise in exchange for the 72 cryo torpedoes.

Khan plans to destroy Enterprise, but Spock reveals that real – and armed – torpedoes were beamed to Vengeance, keeping the cryo pods on Enterprise. The torpedoes detonate, incapacitating Vengeance and enraging Khan, believing his 72 colleagues have been killed. Both ships start descending towards Earth's surface. Kirk sacrifices his life to re-align the warp core, dying from radiation poisoning in front of Spock, but enabling the to crew to regain control of Enterprise. Vengeance crashes into downtown San Francisco. Having survived the crash, Khan tries to escape in the chaos, but is pursued by Spock. McCoy discovers that Khan's blood may reanimate Kirk and Uhura prevents Spock from killing Khan, capturing him instead.

In the aftermath, Kirk is revived and returns to duty as Captain of Enterprise. Khan is sealed into his cryo pod and stored away with the rest of his crew. As the film ends, a restored Enterprise is re-christened and departs for a 5-year mission of exploration.

Cast

Joseph Gatt, Nazneen Contractor, Anjini Taneja Azhar,[14] Nolan North, and Sean Blakemore[15] have also been cast, but their roles are unspecified. Heather Langenkamp has also been cast in what she describes as a small role.[16][17]

Production

Development

In June 2008, it was reported that Paramount Pictures was interested in signing the main producers of the 2009 Star Trek film, J. J. Abrams, Bryan Burk, Damon Lindelof, Alex Kurtzman, and Roberto Orci for a sequel.[18] In March 2009, it was reported that these five producers had signed up to produce the film with the script to be again written by Orci and Kurtzman with Lindelof joining the writing team. A preliminary script was rumored to be completed by Christmas 2009 for a 2011 release.[19][20] Screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci began writing the script in June 2009, originally intending to split the film into two parts.[21] Leonard Nimoy, the original Spock who plays an older version of the character in the 2009 film, stated he would not be making an appearance in the film.[22] Abrams was reportedly considering including William Shatner in the sequel.[23]

By 2010, a release date of June 29, 2012, was set,[24] with Damon Lindelof announcing he had begun working on the script with Kurtzman and Orci.[25] Pre-production was set for a January 2011 start, though producer Bryan Burk stated that actual filming would probably begin in the spring or summer.[26] Actor Zachary Quinto later stated that these reports were untrue.[27] Writer Lindelof, who is also a producer, compared the sequel to The Dark Knight.[28] Abrams, Kurtzman, and Orci stated that selecting a villain was hard, with Abrams saying that "the universe Roddenberry created is so vast that it's hard to say one particular thing stands out". The interview also saw them discuss the possibility of Khan Noonien Singh and Klingons.[29] Kurtzman and Lindelof stated that they had "broken" the story (created an outline) and rather than being a sequel, it will act as a stand alone film.[30] Abrams admitted in December 2010 that there was still no script.[31]

In January 2011, Abrams, who was still not attached to direct, reported that he had not decided whether or not he was directing the sequel, citing that he had still not seen a script.[32] Paramount Pictures then approached Abrams and requested the sequel be in 3D.[33] Abrams stated the film would not be filmed in native 3D, but rather shot in 2D on film, and then be converted into 3D in post production.[34] Abrams also expressed interest in shooting the film in the IMAX format, saying, "IMAX is my favorite format; I’m a huge fan."[34] In February, Orci posted on his Twitter that he (and Lindelof and Kurtzman) aimed to deliver the script in March 2011.[35] Though the script was not finished at the time, Paramount began financing pre-production.[36] Similar circumstances on the next Jack Ryan film meant that Chris Pine would film the Star Trek sequel first.[37] By April, Orci revealed at WonderCon that the film's first draft of the script had been completed.[38] Abrams reported to MTV that once he finished work on his film Super 8, he would be turning his full attention to the Trek sequel.[39] Though a script was completed, uncertainty regarding the extent of Abrams' involvement led to the film being pushed back six months from its June 2012 release date.[40] In June, Abrams confirmed his next project would be the sequel, also mentioning that he would prefer the film to be good than be ready by its set release date.[41] Simon Pegg, who plays Scotty, stated in an interview that he believed filming would begin in the last few months of the year.[42] Abrams stated he would be prioritizing the film's story and characters above an early release date.[43] In September, Abrams officially signed on to direct the film, with the cast from the previous film reprising their respective roles and that a Winter 2012 or Summer 2013 release date was intended.[44] In October, Orci reported that location scouting was underway and a series of comic books, of which Orci will act as creative director, will "foreshadow" the film.[45] The film was given a revised release date and pushed to a 2013 slot.[46] Michael Giacchino confirmed he will be returning to score the film.[47]

Actor Benicio del Toro had reportedly been sought for the role of the villain and had met with Abrams to discuss the role.[48] He later bowed out. Actress Alice Eve has signed on for a role[49] and so has Peter Weller.[50] Actor Noel Clarke has signed up for an unknown role, but it is reported to be "a family man with a wife and young daughter".[51] Demián Bichir also auditioned for the role but as reported by Variety on January 4, 2012, Benedict Cumberbatch has been cast in the role of the villain in the film.[52]

Filming

The film began principal photography on January 12, 2012, with a scheduled release date of May 16, 2013. Sequences of the film were also filmed using IMAX cameras.[53] About 30 minutes of the film is shot in IMAX.[54] The film is due to be released in 3D. On February 24, 2012, images from the set surfaced depicting Benedict Cumberbatch's character engaged in a fight with Spock.[55][56] Edgar Wright directed a shot in the film.[57] Filming completed in May 2012.[58]

Filming took place on location in Los Angeles, California, and around the area at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore; also at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, and the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove.

Title

On September 10, 2012, Paramount confirmed the film's title as Star Trek Into Darkness.[59][60][61] J. J. Abrams had indicated that unlike some of the earlier films in the franchise, his second Star Trek would not include a number in its title.[62] The decision was made to avoid repeating the sequel numbering that started with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, or making a confusing jump from Star Trek to Star Trek 12.[62] Writer and producer Damon Lindelof addressed his team's struggle to settle upon a title, stating "there have been more conversations about what we're going to call it than went into actually shooting it. […] There’s no word that comes after the colon after Star Trek that’s cool. Not that Star Trek: Insurrection or First Contact aren’t good titles, it’s just that everything that people are turned off about when it comes to Trek is represented by the colon."[63] Of all the titles proposed, including many joke titles, Lindelof preferred Star Trek: Transformers 4 best "because it's technically available."[63]

Soundtrack

On April 24, 2013 it was announced that British singer Bo Bruce and Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol had collaborated on a song for the film soundtrack, entitled "The Rage That's In Us All".[64] Australian songwriter and producer, Robert Conley co-wrote a track for the film, entitled "The Dark Collide", with Penelope Austin.[65]

Distribution

Dolby Laboratories and Paramount Pictures announced Star Trek Into Darkness would be released in Dolby Atmos, with Andy Nelson and Anna Behlmer handling the mix under the supervision of Ben Burtt and Matthew Wood.[66][67]

Marketing

As part of a contest Abrams designed after the release of Super 8, the prize for answering a series of questions will be a walk-on role in this film for two people.[68]

J. J. Abrams also debuted three frames of the film on Conan on October 4, 2012, showing what he described as Spock "in a volcano, in this crazy suit".[69]

The official poster for the film was released on December 3, 2012, showing a mysterious figure, thought to be Benedict Cumberbatch's villain, standing atop a pile of burning rubble looking over what appears to be a damaged London.[70][71] He is standing in a hole in the shape of the Starfleet insignia blown out of the side of a building.[72]

Roughly nine minutes of film footage of the opening sequence was shown prior to IMAX presentations of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey which was released in the US on December 14, 2012.[73] Alice Eve together with Cumberbatch and Burk unveiled the IMAX prologue in London, England on December 14, 2012.

A two-minute teaser was released in iTunes Movie Trailers on December 17, 2012. This teaser also marked the beginning of a viral marketing campaign, with a hidden link directing fans to a movie-related website. A 30-second teaser premiered February 3, 2013, during the temporary stadium blackout of Super Bowl XLVII.[74]

Paramount also released apps for Android, iPhone and Windows Phone that enables users to unlock tickets two days prior to the release date.[75][76]

On March 24th at 9.30 pm a swarm of 30 mini-quadrotors equipped with LED lights drew the Star Trek logo over London [77]. This choreography marked the beginning of the Paramount UK marketing campaign for Star Trek Into Darkness. It was coordinated with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Earth Hour event and was performed and developed by Ars Electronica Futurelab from Linz (Austria) in cooperation with Ascending Technologies from Munich (Germany).[78]

An international trailer was released on March 21, 2013 with an embedded URL simultaneously revealing an exclusive online-only international poster. On April 8th, Paramount released the final international one-sheet featuring solely Benedict Cumberbatch's character.[79]

On April 12, 2013, iTunes Movie Trailers revealed the final domestic one-sheet featuring the USS Enterprise, and announced that the final US domestic trailer would be released on April 16. In the days leading up to the trailer release, character posters featuring the characters Kirk, Spock, Uhura and John Harrison, were also released on iTunes.[80]

Paramount attempted to broaden the appeal of the film for international audiences, an area where Star Trek and science fiction films had generally performed poorly.[81]

Reception

The film has received positive critical reception, with critics saying it was a "rousing adventure"[82] and "a riveting action-adventure in space".[83] Rotten Tomatoes sampled 62 reviewers and judged 89% of the reviews to be positive, with an average score of 7.5. The site described the film as "visually spectacular and suitably action packed, Star Trek Into Darkness is a rock-solid installment in the venerable sci-fi franchise, even if it's not as fresh as its predecessor".[84] On Metacritic, the film holds a score of 74 out of 100, indicating "generally favorable" reviews from 8 critics.[85]

Not all of the reviews were positive, however, with the British national newspaper The Independent saying that the film would "underwhelm even the Trekkies."[86] American Film critic Lou Lumenick of the New York Post gave the movie one and a half stars out of a possible four and said it had a "limp plot" and the "special effects are surprisingly cheesy for a big-budget event movie."[87]
