Almost Fell Off The Edge Of My Seat!

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2013)

Jam-packed with excitement, terror and most of all adventure. From the word go there were high expectations of the Star Trek crew to pull off an adaptation of the original television series, to impress current fans whilst also gaining more. The first film was a definite success, showing Captain Kirk as a reckless young man full of spirit. In 'Star Trek Into Darkness' this depiction fades very slightly and we see Captain Kirk's courage much more obviously and his will to do anything to ensure his crew's security. Khan, I felt, was a perfect villain. Matching Captain Kirk in many key area's of their personalities, he creates a great friction between the characters and is almost a mirror image of Captain Kirk which is extremely interesting to watch. The CGI effects, as always, were outstanding. The whole film was alive and buzzing keeping the suspense tight and the power at full. The creators obviously set their phasers to stun the audience and succeeded.
