Boldly goes wherever you take it

Rating: 9/10 (16 May 2013)

I am a big time Trekkie fan and literally grew up watching the TV series and the movies. The first Star Trek by J.J. Abrams was a delight to watch and literally amazed me by how greatly he has re-introduced the same old characters to the new generation.
After witnessing such a reboot I have been waiting for the next chapter ever since and finally came Star Trek Into Darkness.
From the very first scene JJ sets the pace and missing a scene means missing a reference to the old Trek movies either through the various catch phrases or through the sets.Reliving those moments in a somewhat familiar yet different setting is an experience of its own The movie takes off where the previous one left us i.e. the bonding between Kirk and Spock which is developed into a friendship in this movie.Attention has been given to the development of all other characters may it be Scotty, Bones,Uhura or Sulu.
Benedict(a.k.a Sherlock) has underplayed his part perfectly and as always is a treat to watch. Leonard Nimoy: his presence made me add another star to the rating. He is a legend.
There has always been a silliness quotient attached to all the old Star Trek movies, despite being set in future, which saves the movies from becoming too complicated and restricting the viewers to be a lover of a particular genre and this movie stays true to it.
It is no where near perfect and have countless flaws but then again it is made for humans so it is not logic that always comes first it is the heart and this movie has plenty of it.
P.S. Watch the Wrath of Khan before watching this
