beware the wrath of Khan.

Rating: Null/10 (17 June 2013)

Star Trek : Into Darkness is a re imaging of the Wrath of Khan. And One that stands up there with the original. I found the film to be a thrill ride from start to finish. Here Captain JAmes T. Kirk finally fullfills his potential to be one of the greatest Captains that starfleet has ever produced. Kirk is brave but without humility. Smart but stupid he takes risks without thinking of the consquences. But most of all Kirk doesn't hold to the rules that starfleet has he makes his own. And in this adventure Kirk realizes several truths. Rules are for everyone. And that a Captain is vulnerable because of his Crew. His crew is his family. And Kirk will sacrifice everything for them including breaking all the rules. But what happens when Kirk meets the unstoppable Superman Khan ? For the first time Kirk will find he isn't the greatest at everything and that Khan is a Superman. James T. Kirk will find everything he believes in to be challenged truths will be tested and lies will be found out.
Chris Pine brings his A- Game here as he makes the movie his brash swaggering Kirk is the show. Karl Urban brings the heart as his McCoy is still one of the best things about the reboot. Quinto is excellent as Spock torn between rules and reg. and doing what his gut instinct tells him to do. He brings that struggle out perfectly. And Simon Pegg finally gets a chance to shine as Scotty. He's given enough to do and enough to give Scotty a important job in this movie. Ben Cumberbatch is superb as the tortured and yet arrogant Khan who is willing to do whatever is needed to save his people.
Star Trek : Into Darkness is neither Dark or gritty. What it is ,is action adventure and a great time at the movies.
