Not as good as the first Star Trek but still good.

Rating: 7/10 (31 May 2013)

Not as good as the first Star Trek but still good. The first Star Trek had a certain synergy from discovering the new characters. The second instalment lacked the extra spark of the first instalment. What did work and made Into Darkness a good film is: Into the Darkness has great story and character development. Many parts of the film pay homage to earlier instalments with enough of a twist of not repeating the old story lines. If one looks at the script close enough the viewer experience the genius of the Kirk, Klingon war. Why the Kilngon's hate and respect Kirk and the same time is revealed with Into darkness. The introduction of the new Kahn character made for a strong film. Kahn is a true war machine in many ways. The viewer experiences how Kirk makes his own rules for a higher good. Logically, the Spock character provides a logical counter balance to Kirk's rational. The question of ethics, rules and good intentions versa consequences is a great theme for Into Darkness. I like Into Darkness which is an entertaining film. I give the second instalment a seven out of ten.
