Best Science Fi in years

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2013)

I haven't really been a big fan of Star Trek, technical not seen single episode, 2009 reboot completely blew me away, I loved the way J.J tells the story, in 2 hours ,explained brief background, it didn't take that long to bring me up to speed, at least to be able to enjoy the movie. Waited for 4 loooooong years (Seriously J.J is that busy??), here comes ST-into Darkness. I've seen it 2 times and going again with 3 others tomorrow, good movies you can watch a few times and every time you pick up something, J.J's Star Trek is one of those, leave some aftertaste and you are amazed how it can be a blockbuster but not a popcorn movie. The movie focused on the actions, visual effect, at the same time, capture each characters emotion, relationship, core value, so it doesn't give you a dry mouth of pure actions only, as female viewer I appreciate that ! Most importantly, this movie has a good story, good script, I know some Trekkies are not happy about reusing some characters or stories from previous, but Batman, Spiderman, Superman, all did that, plus Star Trek has some many good stories and characters in last few decades, use some of them will make a fantastic franchise, also the TV series stopped long time ago, it's time to reboot and attract new fans. J.J did great job on this, ST-Into Darkness is also expanding to overseas market, I would say great job! Last highlight I want to say is Music composition, Michael Giacchino did briiiiiiiliant job for 2 ST movies, I noticed the music since 2009, the soundtrack I could just listen to it along, beautiful and powerful, it adds another 50% boost to the movie I would say. Overall, I gave it 10, I know it's not perfect, but I'm so passionate about it, so going to give an irrational 10. If you are after a good movie, entertaining, inspiring story, go to watch it. If you are fussy about all the difference between this movie and previous Star Trek series, or you don't like they swap the time line, or change an Indian to an English, then don't bother to go, coz this is not a copy, it's a reboot :P
