Thingvellir is also of essential historical resonance for Icelanders. Viking clans chose the valley as the spot for an annual assembly beginning in the year 930, forming the world s first parliament. Almost no physical trace remains of those gatherings. Iceland quietly leaves it to the visitor s imagination to people the valley with merchants and charlatans and men declaiming from the Logberg, the Law Rock. In a touristintensive age,ghd, it is an idiosyncratically modest choice, and more satisfying in the end than reconstructing Viking huts and paying actors to wear horned helmets.
Despite its grim title, this sequel to J.J. Abrams锟?really,louboutin pas cher, really good, but not quite great reboot of the 锟絊tar Trek锟?franchise is going to be an absolute joyride for a lot of viewers. The writing has been knocked up a few notches; though Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto) still remain at the film锟絪 center, the rest of the crew has been given more to do this time; and most important, 锟絀nto Darkness锟?is truly a valentine to 锟絊tar Trek锟?fans, especially those who have been into it since the original TV show. The film is filled with little shout-outs to us. A couple of times the script just walks up and says hello to hardcore fans of the show and, to a lesser degree, the first films. Newcomers to the 锟絊tar Trek锟?universe won锟絫 realize what锟絪 going on, while certain references will give big smiles to those in the know.The story takes place in 2259. No,longchamps, that锟絪 not a star date,ghd, it锟絪 the year. Some of it happens in San Francisco, some in London, some out in space, the final frontier. Spock is and always will be a stick-to-the-rules guy. Kirk is a freewheeling leader who does what needs to be done to get things done. Someone utters the words 锟絘cting Captain Sulu.锟紸ctually, there锟絪 so much going on in this movie, I锟絤 going to let loose with four lines of dialogue, totally out of context.锟絎e锟絩e defenseless, sir!锟斤拷Beam me out!锟斤拷What are you doing with that Tribble?锟?(I told you there were references.)锟紻ammit, I锟絤 a doctor, not a ...锟?(Fill in the blank.)锟絊tar Trek Into Darkness锟?starts the way great action movies should start,chanelbagsroses.com, with a lot of action. Kirk and Bones are literally on the run, Spock 锟?in a cool copper colored suit 锟?is busy putting his life on the line. Interplanetary rules are broken, souls are bared, fast banter is volleyed, and attitudes are very much on display, as are relationships. The romantic one between Spock and Uhura has become serious; swinging single Kirk is revealed to have a thing for alien females 锟?yes, that锟絪 plural (you can tell they锟絩e aliens because they have tails!).锟絊tar Trek锟?has always been famous for making its stories the most important piece of the puzzle. There锟絪 no exception here, and 锟絀nto Darkness锟?锟?story really kicks into gear with the introduction of the villainous John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch, British TV锟絪 current Sherlock Holmes). Initially we don锟絫 know much about this guy except that he锟絪 responsible for what would generally be termed a terrorist attack on a major city, and that he is, according to the folks in Star Fleet, 锟給ne of our own.锟絋here are spectacular visuals to match the wild action, and there are moments of quiet, serious talk that nicely complement perfect segments of comic relief. Best of all, the writers have learned an important lesson from 2009锟絪 锟絊tar Trek.锟?This time they锟絭e made sure to stay away from anything resembling the time-space continuum business of that film that had even some of the most diehard fans wondering what the heck was going on.Ed Symkus covers movies for More Content Now.STAR TREK INTO DARKNESSWritten by Roberto Orci,longchamp pas cher, Alex Kurtzman, Damon Lindelof; directed by J.J.
