Review: Star Trek Into Darkness
May. 17th, 2013 11:30 pmWedneday night at Star Trek Into Darkness premiere (for me, anyway, grr):
Benedict Cumberbatch: *appears onscreen looking SMOKING HOT*
Me: *internally screaming*
Fiancé: HOMG!!!!!! *spills huge cup of water all over himself*
Fiancé: *sits in the air-conditioned theater soaking wet and freezing for entire movie*
Thanks, Benedict Cumberbatch!!
I’m not a Trekkie, so I’ll mostly just talk about Benedict’s performance, which is all I really care about anyway.
( Review with no major spoilers )
Slightly guilty admission: I think I am actually getting more enjoyment out of the various interviews with Benedict and the rest of the cast (particularly Simon Pegg) than I did out of the movie itself. I feel like I’ve learned so much about Benedict as a person because there are just so many interviews and people talking about him, too. The story of the neutron cream prank had me in stitches. I’ve basically been living on the great dudeufugly’s tumblr, as she is wonderful about reblogging pretty much everything.
Some interviews of note:
—the long one in Chinese in which he gets to discuss Sherlock, Hawking, and Van Gogh in addition to John Harrison
—this one in which Simon Pegg and Alice Eve discuss why they really think the ladies go for Benedict (so funny)
—the Google play one in which Benedict imitates that amusing gif of him, Simon Pegg, Zachary Quinto, and Chris Pine in a car
—the supremely awkward David Letterman interview that starts off with Letterman not knowing who he is and ending basically Cumberbatched
—the Graham Norton Show one with Chris Pine and Kim Cattrall (Benedict goes into the audience to hug fans!)
—Simon Pegg with Jimmy Kimmel giving his account of the neutron cream incident
—this short outtake from an interview where Benedict makes a very funny face. There’s something hypnotic about this one; I’ve watched it repeatedly, and it’s always adorable!
There are a ton of others, so you can check dudeufugly’s tumblr if you want more. :)
