This is a very fun sci-fi movie that shouldn't be missed

Rating: 9/10 (2 March 2014)

Before I start this review, I might as well tell you the story that happened during my movie experience. I was watching the movie with one of my friends, when all of a sudden, I had to use the bathroom. I went out of the room and used the bathroom. When I walked out, I went into the theater room. What I noticed was that my friend was gone and there was a couple sitting in the seats we were sitting in. I also noticed that it was the end of the movie. I was so disappointed! So I walked out of the room and I saw, at the other end of the hall, the sign showcasing "Star Trek Into Darkness". I walked into the wrong theater! So I walked back in, sat next to my friend, and watched the movie. So, I saw the ending of this movie twice. Not that it's really a bad thing. Now that we got that out of the way, Star Trek Into Darkness review. In this movie, Kirk made a mistake of showing his hi-tech fancy doohickeys to a primitive planet while trying to save Spock's life, getting him demoted to a pilot status. During this time, a man named Khan is doing bad things on the Vulcan planet Kronos. Kirk is sent there to stop him. Okay, now onto the review. The story is great. It's intense and kind of dark. You can really connect with the characters. I really like how all the main characters are likable, with great acting to match. At a few points, during the movie, I was having a conversation with myself about this; "Was this the best casting choice for Kirk?" Yes. He may seem awkward at times, but he is awesome. This movie is intense! There's lots of gun battles, chase scenes, ship battles, fist fights, and even one character crunching another character's skull in (I can still hear that sound). They are really cool and always keep you on edge. This is a sci-fi movie, so you know it's going to have special effects. These are good. They've got color, they've got detail. Excellent. The only real complaint I have with this movie is the occasional dorky film direction and line. There aren't very many, but they are noticeable, especially early on. Speaking of which, the first few minutes of the movie weren't all that special. Yes, it's intense, and yes, it forms the central plot, but I feel it could've been done better. It seems like it started off too fast. Overall, this movie is excellent. The cheesy moments and too fast beginning are definitely overshadowed by the great acting, thrilling story, likable characters, intense action, and sweet CGI. I think this is better than the first, and the original was amazing. The movie was so good, it was shocking.
