Star Trek Into Darkness

Rating: 8/10 (10 November 2013)

Excellent CGI, outstanding performances (as usual) from Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto, and JJ Abrams is on the top of his game. This Star Trek series is one where, as a new comer myself, you can jump right in to the current movies with out having to see the original. I may have just upset a few Trekkies but in all honesty, new generation new movies isn't a bad thing. The only "big" problem with the film was the reliance on the former films content. Why should I care so much about this character or this conversation. The dramatic music and exciting dialog makes me want to believe this is important, but the why is the real question. Other than that the only thing really wrong with the movie was that it ended. Excellent film and I will be renting/buying.
