Star Trek Into Darkness and 9/11

Rating: 9/10 (25 May 2013)

I saw STID last night and it inspired me to make a video about the clear connections between the story and US foreign policy since 9/11.
I liked the movie itself. The writers rely heavily on an understanding of the chemistry between the characters- but so long as the understanding is there, I thought they were spot on in terms of the character interrelationships. Cumberbatch was great even though I can't help but see him as Sherlock first. I'm not totally sold on Pine as Kirk, but I'm not sure what it is about him that puts me off. Video contains spoilers for the movie. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=2UXW7qEqAtY
