Can't find the right words to describe how much I enjoyed this film!

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2013)

Some Spoilers but I've tried my best not to ruin anything......
I loved this film, more than words can describe, it was a two hour (or however long it is) escape from earth and my life to fight and survive with the crew of the Enterprise. From the opening sequence to the closing credits I was immersed in this world of space exploration and military operations. Not to mention easy to watch captains and their crew.
This is the first time I have seen Benedict Cumberbatch in anything and I thought he was marvelous, every time he was on screen I was expecting something evil to happen, his manipulation of Kirk and the crew to get his way was magnificent to watch, his demands to Spock and his explanation of how there was no logical way to disagree was so enthralling, I could have watched him alone for hours.
Similarly I could watch Chris Pine run around and get beat up for hours also so this movie ticked all the boxes in that respect. However, I did feel this film made him stretch more with his acting abilities and has to be the best film I've seen him in. Zachary Quinto is equally brilliant and the friendship dynamic between the two characters is great to watch on screen.
I was a fan of the first Star Trek film and it was so much fun to see everyone come back to their roles and reanimate the crew of the Enterprise, the relationships between everyone makes you want to be involved and be a part of their world - kind of like the cool kids at school.
There is plenty of action to keep you busy as the story moves along and it was wonderful to see more of Simon Pegg in this one.
I wouldn't classify myself as a 'Trekkie', I'm familiar with the Star Trek Universe and some of the characters and story lines but have no specific loyalty to anything or anyone and I think that helped me enjoy the film for what it is, I wasn't offended by any changes or anything that didn't relate to previous Star Trek time lines (although I empathise when this happens - I was equally offended by the remake of Clash of the Titans) but if you go this movie and accept and enjoy it for what it is there is no way you can come out and feel let down or un- entertained.
1000 stars to the cast and crew of Star Trek Into Darkness. I hope to god that JJ finishes the third one.
Go, enjoy and have fun - a thrilling movie from start to finish.
