Parsing of the movie's title is a topic of hilariously hot debate even in
English. No amount of pronouncement will solve it here.

Personally I adore the phrasings that can be accidentally interpreted as
referring to pickles. I'm simply going to call it <Hov leng Hurgh>, and
whether I think of it as the pickle movie or the dark one will depend on the
experience of the watching.

It's not "Star Trek: Into Darkness"; it's "Star Trek Into Darkness."
That is, it's not the Star Trek movie called "Into Darkness"; it's
(presumably) a movie about trekking among the stars into darkness.
