A franchise with legs  and underwear shots!

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2014)

Funky looking tribes, volcanoes, a recreation of the only worthy scene from The Godfather III, gratuitous underwear shot (again) and a hyper-kinetic action hero that didn't scream "de plane! de plane!" throughout your consciousness well, I'll stop there and just say that if the original Wrath Of Khan has this many things going for it, I wouldn't have been evicted from my watching the original back in 1982 in my college dormitory basement for laughing outbursts! Star Trek Into Darkness gets better with each viewing from a non-Trekkie point of view. There are scientific theories (and therefore elongated explanations) to pacify one half and some kick-ass action for those too tired to think. It worked for Batman and Bond franchises and I have yet to tire from the focused Christopher Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban and Simon Pegg . Quite the opposite!
