Star Trek for the Next Generation. A movie where every scene counts!

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2013)

Star Trek: Into Darkness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEST STAR TREK YET!!!!! YES, THIS IS CONSIDERING GRAPHICS/3D, ACTING, FIGHTING AND REFERENCES OF THE ORIGINAL.
(Minimum spoilers)
Beginning kind of cheesy with the arrows. Light speed sparkles... eh. Khan's plan: not really a plan until Marcus comes. Carol Marcus: could have been better portrayed as the amazing scientist she is.
Great references to Wrath of Khan with the KHAAAN yell, and the radiation. The 3D was amazing after the promotion to 2nd.
Great acting by every one and especially by Pine, Quinto and Cumberbatch. Enjoyed the new Spock and Khan greatly!!!
I did not mind the falling from orbit thing as much as I thought I would. S So many great moments! Acted like a kid and kept rocking the chair almost every 20 minutes!!!!
Still pretty hyper.
You can tell I enjoyed it. Haven't enjoyed anything like this since Dark Knight!
It was nice of Abrams to not blind us with flares as much as the previous. And the flares actually ADDED to the movie in some conversations like between Kirk and Khan in Sickbay. Something to fill in the corner.
Enjoyed that every main character got to have an impact and not one took the scene or even the movie. Mostly evenly matched or as much as you would expect to see them.
Liked that they didn't overuse the "Needs of the many..." line, like in several of the movies.
Big production movies usually have a few scenes that are just there to fill gaps while in shorter films every scene counts.
To me every scene counted for something. Whether it be for nudity or explosions. There was very little I did not like and I can't remember them already. Which is probably due to there were better moments almost right after.
Like everyone has said before, you do not have to have watched the Star Trek series or even the previous movie to enjoy this. But you have to admit, its a better experience!
At the end, the way it ended with Kirks speech tying in with the Final Frontier line was very nice!
In response to the "purists". I started reading reviews on IMDb and was not impressed. The Star Trek "purists" do not realize that this is a MOVIE and Movies do not have the same principles as Shows. Shows can go more in dept while there is a time constraint and trying to keep it interesting for 2 hours. The older movies were great for their time but even in them there was as little EXPLORING as there is in this. It is just that now the Special Effects are more widely used because they have become better.
The camaraderie between the characters, the moments between Spock and Kirk. The development of Spock's human side. The relation between the original and newer changed actors. It was all remarkable. There was enough character development everywhere and even utilizing side characters was a good thing!
Do not believe haters, they do not appreciate the revival of a legend and just name meaningless faults that are explained because of the alternate time line. Yes the beginning made no sense but beginning of movies and Star Trek movies have usually been just 'cool'.
This is a great film, make your own opinions and share them! Everyone has an opinion but some of the reviews on here are preferences. Like how I would have preferred if in some moments there was a longer pause just for the feeling to sink in, because I did get a little emotional. Is that a bad thing? No, its just not many movies have enough character development that it makes you care for them. Only GREAT movies have this.
As a Trekkie from Star Trek generation said to me today "It's great that the new generation gets to enjoy the greatness of Star Trek."
