A fantastic film

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2013)

J.J. Abrams Star Trek debut was a huge success and making a film of equal quality for the sequel is a task. But Abrams and company have brilliantly risen to the occasion with a intense, fun, and thrilling film with a story that brings to mind a post 9/11 atmosphere. Chris Pine, Zach Quinto and the rest of the cast are outstanding, breathing even more life into the already iconic characters they portray. Benedict Cumberbatch burns up the screen as the much debated villain, definitely a star making turn for the great British actor. The story is good, allowing the characters to develop and grow, and the story has a very deep emotional core. The film is in my opinion a little bit action heavy, but the sequences are brilliantly well done. Special effects are outstanding, matching the atmosphere that the story and actors set up. Don't miss this one.
