Star Trek: Into Darkness, is a great action film. It is not a great Star Trek film.

Rating: 7/10 (18 June 2013)

There is a lot to enjoy and feast on in, Star Trek: Into Darkness, the visuals are once again fizzling with a pristine look and sparking explosions, and the snappy dialogue is back. Now Into Darkness never reaches Avengers level of funny, but there is still a chuckle in seeing Mr Spock's inability to be well be "normal" and Scotty still provides some important comic relief. But, for me, there was something missing. I only really started to be fully engaged when I realised that Star Trek is just fun. And at the moment of typing that last sentence I could feel the Treckies slipping away from me. However, fleeing Treckies, Into Darkness stops to work when you try to squeeze some real emotion out of it. And, perhaps unfourtunatly, Star Trek: Into Darkness, is a great action film. It is not a great Star Trek film.
