Star Trek Into Darkness

Star Trek Into Darkness

Star Trek Into Darkness is a 2013 American science fiction adventure film directed by J. J. Abrams and written by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and Damon Lindelof. It is the twelfth installment in the Star Trek film franchise and the sequel to the 2009 film Star Trek, as the second in a rebooted film series. The film features Chris Pine reprising his role as Captain James T. Kirk, with Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, John Cho, Anton Yelchin, Bruce Greenwood, and Leonard Nimoy reprising their roles from the previous film. Benedict Cumberbatch, Alice Eve and Peter Weller are also credited in the film's principal cast. It was the last time Nimoy would portray the character of Spock before his death in 2015. Set in the 23rd century, Kirk and the crew of USS Enterprise are sent to the Klingon homeworld seeking former Starfleet member-turned terrorist John Harrison. After the release of Star Trek, Abrams, Burk, Lindelof, Kurtzman, and Orci agreed to produce its sequel. Filming began in January 2012. Into Darkness's visual effects were primarily created by Industrial Light & Magic. The film was converted to 3D during its post-production stage. Star Trek Into Darkness premiered at Event Cinemas in Sydney, Australia, on April 23, 2013, and was released on May 9 in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Peru, with other countries following. The film was released on May 17 in the United States and Canada, opening at IMAX cinemas a day earlier. Into Darkness was a financial success and received positive reviews from critics. Its gross earnings of over $467 million worldwide have made it the highest-grossing entry in the Star Trek franchise. At the 86th Academy Awards, the film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. It was followed by Star Trek Beyond in 2016.

Khan:
I'm going to make this very simple for you.

Spock:
Captain!

Khan:
Your crew for my crew.

Spock:
You betrayed us.

Khan:
Oh, you are smart, Mr. Spock.

James T. Kirk:
Spock, don't...

[Khan knocks him down]

Khan:
Mr. Spock, give me my crew.

Spock:
What will you do when you get them?

Khan:
Continue the work we were doing before we were banished.

Spock:
Which as I understand it involves the mass-genocide of any being you find to be less than superior.

Khan:
Shall I destroy you, Mr. Spock? Or will you give me what I want?

Spock:
We have no transporter capabilities.

Khan:
Fortunately, mine are perfectly functioning. Drop your shields.

Spock:
If I do so I have no guarantee that you will not destroy the Enterprise.

Khan:
Well, let's play this out logically then, Mr. Spock. Firstly, I will kill your captain to demonstrate my resolve, then if yours holds I will have no choice but to kill you and your entire crew.

Spock:
If you destroy our ship, you will also destroy your own people.

Khan:
Your crew requires oxygen to survive, mine does not. I will target your life support systems located behind the aft nacelle. And after every single person aboard your ship suffocates, I will walk over your cold corpses to recover my people. Now, shall we begin?

Spock:
...Lower shields.

Khan:
A wise choice, Mr. Spock. I see all 72 torpedoes are still in their tubes. If they're not mine, Commander, I will know it.

Spock:
Vulcans do not lie. The torpedoes are yours.

Khan:
Thank you, Mr. Spock.

Spock:
I have fulfilled your terms. Now fulfill mine.

Khan:
Well Kirk, it seems apt to return you to your crew. After all, no ship should go down without her captain.
