Wrong to Doubt this Movie

Rating: 9/10 (15 February 2015)

I'm not a Trekky by any stretch. The show was before my time and I never got into Star Trek the Next Generation. Every time I saw clips or reruns of Star Trek it just seemed corny to me. But, I am a Star Wars fanatic and this had a very Star Wars feel to it: hence, I loved it! I'm not saying that Star Trek Into Darkness (STID) was trying to be Star Wars, I don't think that was the case at all, but the story and the space battles were that epic.
This movie was awesome from the opening scene. There was drama and action right away. Immediate action aren't enough for a movie to be deemed good, you'd like a decent plot and some decent acting as well. STID had all three. The story was quite good and offered a lot of conflict on different levels throughout. It helped a lot to have Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) and Dr. Spock (Zachary Quinto) almost always at philosophical odds with one another.
There was a lot of good dialog and portentous moments. You were not allowed to just sit down and be mindlessly entertained. This movie triggered thought and emotions. STID was a near perfect blend of action, drama, special effects and story. I doubted this movie but I was wrong.
