  1. Man, you know how Vulcans are all cold and distant and emotionless? That doesn’t really come across in the German version. I kept thinking everyone was Vulcan…

  5. For those who are too lazy to watch the trailers, we should at least mention that “FIRE EVERYTHING!!!” does sound pretty badass in English. When shouted by Eric Bana, at least.

  11. Both phrases sound about the same. Actually, that makes sense since German is the root language for English.
