I like my my men like I like my eggs - Benedict

Rating: 8/10 (24 May 2013)

Up front, I have to admit a few things. The last Star Trek film I saw was with the original TV cast. I have never seen The Next Generation. I went to see this film because I love Benedict Cumberbatch. I wasn't disappointed.
I think J.J. Abrams was trying to have something for everyone in "Star Trek Into Darkness" - reminders of the TV show (which of course I have seen) and remnants of the very popular movie Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (which I also saw).
I'm not speaking as a die-hard Trekkie. I was glad I saw this in the theater, as the effects were awesome. Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and the rest of the Star Trek crew were excellent in their roles, and Benedict Cumberbatch was an exquisite villain.
Everyone is complaining about Alice Eve's underwear shot. I say give equal time - Benedict had a shower scene that was cut. Also, if her father was played by Peter Weller and he's supposed to be American, why didn't she have an American accent? I can't nitpick like others can. If you're disappointed, I'm sorry, and if I were more familiar with the Star Trek canon, maybe I would be as well. But for pure entertainment, it was excellent.
