Similar to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012), Star Trek: Into Darkness is a movie whose plot is overshadowed by viewing pleasure in 3D. Otherwise it would have been another above-average SF flick, especially since we've seen the reboot of the series which set the bar high. So, the only thing settings this movie apart from Star Trek (2009) is the ambitious performance of Benedict Cumberbatch as Kahn.
Otherwise, the atmosphere is joyful and laced with action sequences in the vein of the predecessor. This time, however, there are a couple of sub-par.
Overall, Into Darkness is an entertaining movie.
