Star Trek: Into Darkness **WTF** (SPOILER ALERT)


Recommended Posts

THIS FILM IS DEDICATED TO OUR POST-9/11 VETERANS
WITH GRATITUDE FOR THEIR INSPIRED SERVICE ABROAD
AND CONTINUED LEADERSHIP AT HOME.

Uhhh.... a dude attempts to go to war under false pretenses... the crew teams up with a terrorist to stop him... and then the Captain makes a virtuous speech about using restraint, resisting the urge to seek revenge, and carefully reasoning out of a bad political situation.

When this came up I was all...

I thought it was a good plot, and I really liked the movie!

 Agreed.

I did an audible, epic facepalm when I saw that tripe rolling right before the credits.

It's like the guy who put that in thought to himself, "Hey, let's send a message that's completely contradictory to the message of the film!"

Movies have one purpose, to make money. If your film can be construed to be "anti-military" or "against the troops", you won't make as much money. By putting that stuff in before the credits they are covering their asses. 

Who cares. 

 

Sure, that's their purpose in the market. But to answer the question of who cares seems rather obvious: consumers like us who are interested in truth.

It's progress that they made a film where they had to cover their ass.  Remember when every film had to celebrate the actions of the brave defenders of freedom?
