First Poster For 'Star Trek Into Darkness'

At this point, I don't know how anyone could not be excited for J.J. Abrams' 'Star Trek Into Darkness.' The plot sounds fantastic, the stellar cast from the last film is returning, and the villain is played by Benedict Cumberbatch. But in case none of that strikes your fancy, and I have no idea why it wouldn't, today the first poster for the film has been revealed via the movie's official Facebook page. Some have criticized the poster for being too derivative of 'The Dark Knight Rises,' but I really like it. I think it effectively communicates the peril facing the Enterprise crew and the stakes for which they are fighting. It also further enforces the idea that Gary Mitchell will be the villain; seemingly having caused all that destruction himself, possibly with the aid of telekinesis? Take a look at the poster below and let us know what you think.

'Star Trek Into Darkness' hits theaters May 17th, 2013

All of you assholes take this shit way too seriously, it doesn't matter the movie will make allot of money when it comes out and all you geeks will go see it and be in the movie theatres at midnight, waiting in long lines like clowns, so stop your bitching!!!!

@Gift of the Magi

Do you EVER shut up? You take your shit WAY to seriously. I say this poster is similar to TDKR, you say it's a rip off. WHO GIVES A SHIT! The poster still looks cool regardless, and judge the ACTUAL film WHEN YOU SEE IT! All we have is a poster and a one minute trailer, and you STILL have to hate. Do you ever post anything POSITIVE, or do you just care about being a bitch to everyone and making a big fucking deal out of everything. I like the poster, you don't, no one cares about a fan war that you are trying to start. WHO GIVES A SHIT!!!!!

Dear Tony, being grey has nothing to do with it. I would claim that the flames And wreckage in the shape of the series' symbol is more a rip than the color scheme.
Comment by Anthony Stokes on December 5, 2012 at 12:12pm
eThe debris is a ripoff of Battle Los Angelos and the logo isn't even that in your face and MOST movie posters have a greyish black color lol.. Not saying you put some people act like the dark knight created grey lol. This is the Ironman 3 trailer all over again

you take this shit waayyyy to seriously haha...but that being said, the first thing i thought of when i saw this was The Dark Knight Rises...very much a rip off.

Comment by Gift of the Magi on December 5, 2012 at 2:47am

Sorry, but the entire design of the poster IS a direct rip of the recent TDKR posters. Bitch all you want, but it's pretty obvious. Now add it a terrible caption like 'Into Darkness'...oy...because you know 'darkness' automatically mean more serious and adult.

Yeah. BULLSHIT.


The Abrams Star Trek film was a good film. NOT a great film, as it had plenty of plot holes and issues, but a good film after years of crappy sequels and Enterprise. However, I was really hoping that the next film would fix those issues and get back to the core of Star Trek: EXPLORING THE UNKNOWN!

Instead, we are repeating the last films plot

-Starfleet suffers a massive disaster that takes out their fleet and the Enterprise is the only one that can save the day.

-The main characters will have 'friendships and loves' tested and forced to fight amongst themselves in the hopes of generating drama, instead of real character development.

-A focus on combat and destruction.

-A tortured soul with the ability to destroy a world that Kirk has to stop.

-For some fucking reason the communication officer, the ship's PHONE OPERATOR, is more important and has higher billing THAN BONES FUCKIN' McCOY!!!!!!!!

I...do not have high hopes for this. I am willing to be proven wrong but...I don't think any lessons were learned here. J.J. Abrams is NOT good at ending or building on a story, as the craptastic Lost ending shows (sorry Grant, but you know it's true.)

Yeah, and The Dark Knight Rises was boring. Please feel free to comment or rage at your convenience. My posterior is ready to accept your kisses.

@Anthony Strokes

The reason why people are compairing this poster to the TDKR poster is for 2 reasons: The dark/grey coloring, and the destryed debre in the shape of the film logo. I can see the comparison, but this is still a good poster.

And I love the Dark Knight Trilogy to death, BUT, people put movies on WAY to high of a pedistal. In the end, movies are just for entertainment. People make to big a deal over this shit somethimes...

Comment by Joanne on December 4, 2012 at 2:40pm

A dubious man stand in the midst of destruction. The synopsis explains much about the reasoning for this poster. So how is this a copy of TDKR? See, I love the trilogy. But some people need to stop putting those films on such a high pedestal now. It's getting annoying. I'm looking forward to this film. Great to see an official image of Benedict Cumberbatch, looking badass. Hello there.

Comment by Anthony Stokes on December 4, 2012 at 1:55pm
@OdO It just seems like anytime a movie goes tries to be a little serious in its marketing it gets compared to dark knight rises. If If Sony relased an Old poster from Spiderman trilogy everybody would say "man this ripped off Dark Knight rises" . Not saying you just the people that had they're lips surgicaly attached to Nolan's ass. There's nothing geniunly Dark Knightish about this poster. It's more derivative of Battle Los Angeles too me. What exactly in this poster resembles qualities that are unique to TDKR poster?
