Star Trek may have written itself into a corner

Rating: 7/10 (8 December 2013)

It's a fun but dark movie that never quite lives up to its hype. There is a terrorist attacking the Federation and doing a fine job of it too. Klingons are introduced and the happy, ethical Star Fleet is revealed to have a dark underbelly looking to start a war. ...Wait a second, Into Darkness is pretty much a mash up of Wrath of Khan and the Undiscovered Country. The visuals are amazing but this is a messy follow up that creates an impossibly complex universe to move forward from. Plothole Spoilers...
Star fleet can now effectively transport across the universe, pretty much eliminating the need for space ships other than for exploration of unmapped systems. Khan and his people have super blood that can reverse death, they are also left in a forced coma at the end of the film creating a potentially inexhaustible supply of miracle cure and genetic potential. Star Fleet has them and is almost impossibly unlikely to use them for this. The Star Fleet high command structure has been wiped out, leaving a huge power vacuum at the top of the most advanced military body in the universe. Surely there are easier ways to start a war with a hyper aggressive military regime.
