A continuation of the Star Trek legend that captivates once more

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2016)

Not often does a sequel, especially the sequel to a remake, do as good a job at enthralling its viewers as the original. This one did and might have even exceeded it. The 'Star Trek' characters continue to be wonderful & engaging, an absolute pleasure to watch, while Kirk & Spock's relationship deepens and becomes a very moving element of the storyline, which, in this franchise, absolutely has to happen. The story once again grabs you and pulls you in, particularly with the addition of Benedict Cumberbatch, a simply marvelous actor, who does a wonderful job as the new Khan, and almost single-handedly steals the whole show, and in many places actually does! The action is great, captivating, and fun to watch, the relationships poignant and intriguing, and overall it's like an old friend with a new twist pleasing you all over again.
