A shadow of it's predecessor.

Rating: 3/10 (12 March 2014)

In every way, the original start Trek Wrath of Khan is superior. Which is ironic as the "reboot" had the advantage in every category. While the actors of Wrath are good, they were in reality, TV show actors with little film experience, while the stars of Darkness were mostly accomplished and recognized big name movie stars. Special effects had three decades to improve but while the effects of Wrath had a huge impact on the audience despite their limited budget, Darkness effects, with their vastly superior budget, feel flat and don't really add much to the story. The script of the original is no masterpiece and takes many liberties with science, but is at least believable. I forgot the plot to Darkness minutes after watching it. In the end I believe the problem lies with the director, Abrams, after all , he wrote Armageddon, nuff said.
