Flawed Masterpiece? Well, it's great for sure

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2013)

I kinda like Star Trek: Into the Darkness. It's a complete film overall, because i mean, it's very entertaining, the story is indeed good, it has really very cool scenes, as a surprisingly almost touching dialog between Spocky and Kirk, near the end of the film, and also very beautiful shots of the space, however the special effects in the spaceships were not cool at all(a crime, if you consider the amount of money spent on the film just for that subject).
The work on cinematography is good for sure, with some J.J Abrams frenetic 'single shot scenes' trademark in it. It has a few logic problems for sure, but nothing that really prejudiced the flow of the story. A quick example would be the fact that Kirk never listens to Spocky always right advices. This is really an idiotic and annoying fact, and if you not suspend your disbelief you really tend to not enter in the film at all.
Apart from that, i really liked this film. It's so entertaining that the 130 minutes looked more as a half hour film. Some people have complaints about Khan being portrayed by a white dude(for those who don't knows, Khan is an Indian in the original Star Trek series). Well, i didn't mind for that little fact, 1) because i haven't watched the original Star Trek series, so i don't know if this 'race detail' is important for the build-up of the character or not. And 2), because i don't give a dawn about races 'truthful' portrayal in films or that kind of stuff. So, if you have an open mind and a bit suspension of disbelief, Star Trek may turn into a good film for you. Personally, recommended. 8.8/10
