Re-Chewed Hash

Rating: 2/10 (17 May 2013)

While you're in the theater watching this "new" Star Trek movie and you begin to believe you've been here once before, you're right. You have.
When the movies first came out, the producers tried to tell us that the plots would be updates of past television shows. "Veeger" in the first movie was the reincarnation of a bot of another name that appeared with Shatner and Nimoy. The genetically superior dictator Khan, who first graced television in the series reappeared in the second movie.
Just when we hoped we were done with the "superior intellect," lo and behold who should arrive in "Star Trek: Into Darkness?" That's right, sport fans: let's all welcome Khan back to the screen. He's pretty much the same self-absorbed, boring type only NOW he's practically as invulnerable as Superman.
Of course, viewers felt as though they had been fed a pre-chewed and pre-digested rather old piece of celluloid when all they wanted was a movie that could "boldly go where no one has gone before." Too bad, cinema fans. That rancid taste in your mouth and the disgusting feeling of deja-vu will only leave you sighing, "Oh, no. Not again."
However, if you are one who is easily swayed by characters running across the screen being chased or chasing someone, along with the loud noises so prevalent in action movies,then you'll love it.
