Just what it is supposed to be: Entertaining Sci-fi.

Rating: 8/10 (12 June 2015)

Whoah, is my review gonna drown in the over thousand other reviews? I think so-o!
Anyways. I am no Star Trek fan, nor am I a Star Wars fan, and maybe that makes it a bit easier with this one. Because I really liked it. I liked the first one, and I liked this. It is just so well made and so entertaining. It's crisp, looks pretty, actors do a good job. You know, it's just a good movie.
Eye candy all around, and lens flares up the wazoo! Which I don't mind, by the way.
This was the first time I really noticed Mr. Cumberbatch too. I had heard his name, and probably seen him too, but I wasn't aware of him before this. He is pretty cool, I have to say. He looks super strange (that's just how he looks), and that really fits in this role.
Star Trek Into Darkness has plenty of cool action scenes, the story works very well and pulled me in. Like I mentioned, I am initially no big fan of Star Trek, so this is very objective. Well, when it comes to the old Star Trek vs the new, vs Generations and all that stuff. I am not really especially a fan of Sci-fi in general, but I swallowed up this some'thin real good.
Both the new Star Trek movies are entertaining fun, I think.
