Fully entertaining and great watching experience

Rating: 8/10 (11 May 2013)

I watched it at midnight show yesterday and didn't expect too much after seeing early rough reviews from the critics, but after the movie ended I felt nothing wrong with this and truly far from disappointment. Once again J.J.Abrams shows his directing ability and continuing to amaze audience after what he had already done in 2009 with a solid piece of work. 'Into Darkness' is one of the most entertaining and satisfying action movie I've seen this year. It's fun, thrilling and spectacular at some scenes especially last 45 minutes of the film. The acting from their three main casts (Chris Pine, Benedict Cumberbatch and Zachary Quinto) also can't be taken lightly. Especially for Zachary Quinto, his character here has a lot improvement and he has done his challenge incredible. There's no doubt about the visual, it's been outstanding and stunning, you couldn't ask more than this. The IMAX visual is also amazing and worth to see.
Besides that, 'Into Darkness' has less complex story. Character of the villain is not introduced clearly and appeared too sudden. The thing is probably because 2009 'Star Trek' has already been too perfect, J.J.Abrams had made high standard in the first franchise that even himself hardly to level it. I think J.J.Abrams has pulled out all of his idea in first 'Star Trek' reboot that makes this movie not that special and feels repeatable. The storyline in 'Into Darkness' isn't as complicated as the first movie so don't worry if audiences haven't watched the previous movie, they still could enjoy this. Afterall, 'Into Darkness' is a great action package and something you shouldn't miss. It might be not as good as the first franchise but it's still one of the coolest movie you'll ever experience. It may be too early to say that it's the best summer blockbuster movie this year, but it could be the great one. I personally love 'Into Darkness' and wouldn't mind to see it again.
